Hello,

I've recently come across a case in the context of CDS/CDNSKEY and I'm unsure what is the best/correct way to handle the situation.

CDS/CDNSKEY records are meant to notify the registry about a change in the DS/DNSKEY records, similar to sending an EPP request.

What should the registry do, if
1. the serverUpdateProhibited EPP state is set?
2. the clientUpdateProhibited EPP state is set?

I tend to say that in Case 1, the domain may not be changed at all and as a consequence CDS/CDNSKEYs should be ignored.

For Case 2 my preference is that this is only a kind of safeguard against unintended changes by the registrar, and the DNSSEC update is most likely intended and should go through. Furthermore, some registrars might set this state regularly, which would then take away the registrant's possibility to roll over their DNSKEY. This most likely is not intended. However, one could of course argue: update prohibited means update prohibited, and as long as that state is set, no changes (other than removing this state) should be possible.

What do others think about these cases?

Cheers,

Michael
