17 | .B Unbound\-anchor | |
18 | performs setup or update of the root trust anchor for DNSSEC validation. | |
19 | It can be run (as root) from the commandline, or run as part of startup | |
20 | scripts. Before you start the \fIunbound\fR(8) DNS server. | |

23 | .P | |
24 | .nf | |
25 | # in the init scripts. | |
26 | # provide or update the root anchor (if necessary) | |
27 | unbound-anchor \-a "@UNBOUND_ROOTKEY_FILE@" | |
28 | # Please note usage of this root anchor is at your own risk | |
29 | # and under the terms of our LICENSE (see source). | |

37 | This tool provides builtin default contents for the root anchor and root | |
38 | update certificate files. | |
39 | .P | |
40 | It tests if the root anchor file works, and if not, and an update is possible, | |
41 | attempts to update the root anchor using the root update certificate. | |
42 | It performs a https fetch of root-anchors.xml and checks the results, if | |
43 | all checks are successful, it updates the root anchor file. Otherwise | |
44 | the root anchor file is unchanged. It performs RFC5011 tracking if the | |
45 | DNSSEC information available via the DNS makes that possible. | |
46 | .P | |
47 | It does not perform an update if the certificate is expired, if the network | |
48 | is down or other errors occur. | |
49 | .P | |
50 | The available options are: | |
51 | .TP | |
52 | .B \-a \fIfile | |
53 | The root anchor key file, that is read in and written out. | |
54 | Default is @UNBOUND_ROOTKEY_FILE@. | |
55 | If the file does not exist, or is empty, a builtin root key is written to it. | |
56 | .TP | |
57 | .B \-c \fIfile | |
58 | The root update certificate file, that is read in. | |
59 | Default is @UNBOUND_ROOTCERT_FILE@. | |
60 | If the file does not exist, or is empty, a builtin certificate is used. | |
61 | .TP | |
62 | .B \-l | |
63 | List the builtin root key and builtin root update certificate on stdout. | |
64 | .TP | |
65 | .B \-u \fIname | |
66 | The server name, it connects to https://name. Specify without https:// prefix. | |
67 | The default is "data.iana.org". It connects to the port specified with \-P. | |
68 | You can pass an IPv4 addres or IPv6 address (no brackets) if you want. | |
69 | .TP | |
70 | .B \-x \fIpath | |
71 | The pathname to the root\-anchors.xml file on the server. (forms URL with \-u). | |
72 | The default is /root\-anchors/root\-anchors.xml. | |
73 | .TP | |
74 | .B \-s \fIpath | |
75 | The pathname to the root\-anchors.p7s file on the server. (forms URL with \-u). | |
76 | The default is /root\-anchors/root\-anchors.p7s. This file has to be a PKCS7 | |
77 | signature over the xml file, using the pem file (\-c) as trust anchor. | |
78 | .TP | |
79 | .B \-n \fIname | |
80 | The emailAddress for the Subject of the signer's certificate from the p7s | |
81 | signature file. Only signatures from this name are allowed. default is | |
82 | dnssec@iana.org. If you pass "" then the emailAddress is not checked. | |
83 | .TP | |
84 | .B \-4 | |
85 | Use IPv4 for domain resolution and contacting the server on https. Default is | |
86 | to use IPv4 and IPv6 where appropriate. | |
87 | .TP | |
88 | .B \-6 | |
89 | Use IPv6 for domain resolution and contacting the server on https. Default is | |
90 | to use IPv4 and IPv6 where appropriate. | |
91 | .TP | |
92 | .B \-f \fIresolv.conf | |
93 | Use the given resolv.conf file. Not enabled by default, but you could try to | |
94 | pass /etc/resolv.conf on some systems. It contains the IP addresses of the | |
95 | recursive nameservers to use. However, since this tool could be used to | |
96 | bootstrap that very recursive nameserver, it would not be useful (since | |
97 | that server is not up yet, since we are bootstrapping it). It could be | |
98 | useful in a situation where you know an upstream cache is deployed (and | |
99 | running) and in captive portal situations. | |
100 | .TP | |
101 | .B \-r \fIroot.hints | |
102 | Use the given root.hints file (same syntax as the BIND and Unbound root hints | |
103 | file) to bootstrap domain resolution. By default a list of builtin root | |
104 | hints is used. Unbound\-anchor goes to the network itself for these roots, | |
105 | to resolve the server (\-u option) and to check the root DNSKEY records. | |
106 | It does so, because the tool when used for bootstrapping the recursive | |
107 | resolver, cannot use that recursive resolver itself because it is bootstrapping | |
108 | that server. | |
109 | .TP | |
110 | .B \-v | |
111 | More verbose. Once prints informational messages, multiple times may enable | |
112 | large debug amounts (such as full certificates or byte\-dumps of downloaded | |
113 | files). By default it prints almost nothing. It also prints nothing on | |
114 | errors by default; in that case the original root anchor file is simply | |
115 | left undisturbed, so that a recursive server can start right after it. | |
116 | .TP | |
117 | .B \-C \fIunbound.conf | |
118 | Debug option to read unbound.conf into the resolver process used. | |
119 | .TP | |
120 | .B \-P \fIport | |
121 | Set the port number to use for the https connection. The default is 443. | |
122 | .TP | |
123 | .B \-F | |
124 | Debug option to force update of the root anchor through downloading the xml | |
125 | file and verifying it with the certificate. By default it first tries to | |
126 | update by contacting the DNS, which uses much less bandwidth, is much | |
127 | faster (200 msec not 2 sec), and is nicer to the deployed infrastructure. | |
128 | With this option, it still attempts to do so (and may verbosely tell you), | |
129 | but then ignores the result and goes on to use the xml fallback method. | |
130 | .TP | |
131 | .B \-h | |
132 | Show the version and commandline option help. | |
133 | .SH "EXIT CODE" | |
134 | This tool exits with value 1 if the root anchor was updated using the | |
135 | certificate or if the builtin root-anchor was used. It exits with code | |
136 | 0 if no update was necessary, if the update was possible with RFC5011 | |
137 | tracking, or if an error occurred. | |
138 | .P | |
139 | You can check the exit value in this manner: | |
140 | .nf | |
141 | unbound-anchor \-a "root.key" || logger "Please check root.key" | |
142 | .fi | |
143 | Or something more suitable for your operational environment. | |
144 | .SH "TRUST" | |
145 | The root keys and update certificate included in this tool | |
146 | are provided for convenience and under the terms of our | |
147 | license (see the LICENSE file in the source distribution or | |
148 | http://unbound.nlnetlabs.nl/svn/trunk/LICENSE) and might be stale or | |
149 | not suitable to your purpose. | |
150 | .P | |
151 | By running "unbound\-anchor \-l" the keys and certificate that are | |
152 | configured in the code are printed for your convenience. | |
153 | .P | |
154 | The build\-in configuration can be overridden by providing a root\-cert | |
155 | file and a rootkey file. | |
156 | .SH "FILES" | |
157 | .TP | |
158 | .I @UNBOUND_ROOTKEY_FILE@ | |
159 | The root anchor file, updated with 5011 tracking, and read and written to. | |
160 | The file is created if it does not exist. | |
161 | .TP | |
162 | .I @UNBOUND_ROOTCERT_FILE@ | |
163 | The trusted self\-signed certificate that is used to verify the downloaded | |
164 | DNSSEC root trust anchor. You can update it by fetching it from | |
165 | https://data.iana.org/root\-anchors/icannbundle.pem (and validate it). | |
166 | If the file does not exist or is empty, a builtin version is used. | |
