Inputs

  • Domain (required) — Specify the domain for which to enable NSEC3 semantics.

  • Nsec3 Narrow (required) — Choose the NSEC3 mode: 0 for Inclusive mode or 1 for Narrow mode, affecting how NSEC3 operates.
  • Nsec3 Opt Out (required) — Determine whether to create records for all delegations (1) or only for secure delegations (0). Use 1 only if necessary.
  • Nsec3 Salt (required) — Provide the salt value used in the hashes, according to RFC 5155 recommendations.
