The CentralNic Reseller module allows you to register and manage domains with resellers from the CentralNic group. Currently, this module supports registrations via RRP Proxy.

<div class="docs-alert-warning">
This module uses the centralized CentralNic reseller platform and ensures against compatibility issues for PHP 8.1 and later. It replaces the previous '''[[RRPProxy]]''' module, preventing compatibility issues on newer versions of PHP.

==Activation==

To activate and begin using the CentralNic Reseller registrar module:

# Log in to the WHMCS Admin Area.
# Go to '''Configuration (<i class="fa fa-wrench" aria-hidden="true"></i>) > System Settings > [[Domain Registrars]]'''.
# Find '''CentralNic Reseller''' in the list.
# Click '''Activate'''.
# Enter your CentralNic Reseller credentials and configuration. For more information, see below.
# Click '''Save Changes'''.

===Test Mode===

You can use test mode to simulate domain registration and management function without registering a domain or incurring charges. This can be useful to test WHMCS configurations.

To use Test Mode, you must create a test account and enter that password in '''Test Password'''.

===Proxy Server===

This setting allows you to specify the proxy server for incoming requests via the cURL <tt>[https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html CURLOPT_PROXY]</tt> option. Using a proxy server can improve HTTP communication performance by keeping connections open longer.

This setting is '''optional'''.

===DNSSEC===

This setting allows you to choose whether users can configure [https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/dnssec-what-is-it-why-important-2019-03-05-en Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC)] in the WHMCS Client Area. If you enable this, '''DNSSEC Management''' will display as an option in the Client Area sidebar menu when managing a domain.

====What is DNSSEC?====

DNSSEC is a set of IETF specifications for securing information within the DNS system. They provide authentication for the origins of DNS data and denial of existence as well as ensuring data integrity. They do not, however, provide authentication of availability or confidentiality.

====Key Data to DS Data Conversion====

If CentralNic requires DS Data but receives Key Data, it will convert the Key Data into DS Data. The conversion uses SHA-256 and DSData digest type 2. This conversion ensures compliance with the relevant industry standards.

The module sends the following parameters:

<table class="table table-striped table-condensed">
<tr><th>Parameter</th><th>Description</th></tr>
<tr><td><tt>Flags</tt></td><td><tt>256</tt> (zone signing key) or <tt>257</tt> (key signing key)</td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>Protocol</tt></td><td><tt>3</tt> (DNSSEC)</td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>Algorithm</tt></td><td><ul><li><tt>8</tt> (<tt>RSA/SHA256</tt>)</li><li><tt>10</tt> (<tt>RSA/SHA512</tt>)</li><li><tt>12</tt> (<tt>GOST R 34.10-2001</tt>)</li><li><tt>13</tt> (<tt>ECDSA/SHA-256</tt>)</li><li><tt>14</tt> (<tt>ECDSA/SHA-384</tt>)</li><li><tt>15</tt> (<tt>Ed25519</tt>)</li><li><tt>16</tt> (<tt>Ed448</tt>)</li></ul><div class="docs-alert-warning">While other [https://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-sec-alg-numbers/dns-sec-alg-numbers.xhtml DNSSEC algorithms] exist, CentralNic Reseller cannot support them because it does not support SHA-1. For more information, see [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1 RFC 4034].</div></td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>Pubkey</tt></td><td>The public key.</td></tr>
</table>

== Automatic Registration ==

WHMCS allows you to set up automatic domain registration on a per-extension basis, enabling you to use different registrars for different TLDs.

To enable automatic registration, see [[Domain Pricing]].

== Automatic Domain Synchronization ==

This module supports automatic domain synchronization for syncing expiry dates and status changes for incoming transfers.

To use this, enable '''Domain Sync Enabled''' in the '''[[Domains_Tab|Domains]]''' tab at '''Configuration (<i class="fa fa-wrench" aria-hidden="true"></i>) > System Settings > General Settings'''.

You must also make certain to configure the '''[[Crons#Domain_Sync_Cron|Domain Sync Cron]]'''.
