       .au Extensions to the Extensible Provisioning Protocol

Status of This Document

   This document specifies an extension to the EPP protocol for use with
   the .au ccTLD Domain Name Registry EPP service. Discussion and
   suggestions for improvements are welcome. Please refer to AusRegistry
   for more information on the status of this document. Distribution of

Abstract

   This document describes application layer client-server protocol
   extensions for the Extensible Provisioning Protocol as needed for the
   management of domain objects stored in the .au  Registry.  Specified
   in XML, the protocol defines specific object management operations
   and an extensible framework that maps the protocol extensions to the
   relevant objects.  This document includes a protocol specification,
   an object mapping template, and an XML media type registration.  This
   document obsoletes the .au Extensions version 1.0.

1.  General

   This document contains explanations of the relevant commands from the
   EPP RFCs that are affected by the inclusion of the au extensions.

   The use of these extensions by the client/server will be identified
   in the following commands as explained in the relevant sections
   below:

   -  <login>
   -  <greeting>

   EPP's command response extension framework [EPP RFC4930 2.7.3] is
   used to extend the following commands:

   -  <domain:create>
   -  <domain:update>

   And the following responses:

   -  <domain:info>

   The following additional Protocol Extensions (object/operation
   extension) [EPP RFC4930 2.7.1] are defined:

   -  <auext:registrantTransfer>

6.  EPP <domain:update>

   Extensions are provided to enable a client to make "corrections" to
   domain name .au information as required.

6.1.  EPP <domain:update> Command

   In addition to the standard EPP elements found in a <domain:update>
   command a <domain:update> command can also conform to the following
   using the <extension> element that contains the extension information
   to be updated specific to the domain being updated.
   
   Note: these elements are equivilent to an EPP "chg" element, meaning
   that all information will be replaced with the new .au extension
   information supplied I.E. the entire .au extension unit is one
   atomic unit.

   -  A <auext:update> element which contains a number of elements that
      hold the information which is specific to the .au name space:

      -  A <auext:auProperties> element which contains the following
         child elements:

         -  A <auext:registrantName> element MUST be provided. This
            element MUST contain an english readable string for the
            Registrant's name.

         -  An OPTIONAL <auext:registrantID> element that represents the
            identifier for the Registrant.

         -  Every <auext:registrantID> element MUST have a "type"
            attribute which is the enumeration of valid Registrant ID
            values specified in this document.  The type attribute
            identifies the type of the Registrant ID specified for the
            <registrantID> element.

         -  An <auext:eligibilityType> element MUST be provided. This
            element MUST be one of the valid eligibility type values
            specified by this document.

         -  An OPTIONAL <auext:eligibilityName> element which is only
            used if different from the Registrant's name.

         -  An OPTIONAL <auext:eligibilityID> element that represents
            the identifier for the eligibility name.

            values specified in this document.  The type attribute
            identifies the type of the eligibility ID specified for the

            should be noted that these explanations are reviewed by the
            regulator and this update mechanism is NOT provided to
            facilitate transfer of registrant.
