Operational Test and Evaluation

After executing an agreement, a registrar receives two test accounts in Flexireg's OT&E subsystem in order to try out interaction with the registration system.

For registrars accredited in .MOSCOW, .МОСКВА, .RU, and/or .РФ, operational test and evaluation is optional. Other registrars must successfully complete the «Operational Test and Evaluation Certification Procedure ».before getting access to the operational Flexireg system.

However, even those registrars for whom OT&E is optional are still strongly encouraged to try interacting with Flexireg test subsystem through EPP in accordance with the following procedure:

  • Set up an EPP session with flexireg test subsystem and maintain it for 5 minutes using "hello" command.
  • Try to register Contact object with invalid email address (without @), paying attention to the format of error messages.
  • Try to register Contact object without a contact's name, paying attention to the format of errors in XML schema.
  • Register test Contact object
    • For an individual.
    • For a legal entity.
  • Check whether domain names whois and www are available.
  • Check whether your test domain with a selected name is available.
  • Register test domain.
  • Try to register Host objects subordinate to the previously registered test domain, with IP addresses from private networks, paying attention to the format of error message.
  • Register Host objects subordinate to the previously registered test domain, with correct IP addresses.
  • Register external Host objects having no subordinate relationship to your previously registered test domains.

    Delegate a domain name using your registered Host objects.
  • Set up an EPP session without urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rgp-1.0.
  • Renew registration term of the test domain.
  • Obtain full details for the test domain, paying attention to the fact that there is no information about the RGP status in the response.
  • Set up an EPP session with urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rgp-1.0.
  • Obtain full details for the test domain, paying attention to the fact that there is information about the RGP status in the response.
  • Transfer the test domain to another registrar.
  • Obtain full details for the test domain after transfer completion, paying attention to the fact that RGP statuses are rewritten.
  • Set up an EPP session without urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:secDNS-1.1.
  • Try to register a domain with secDNS.
  • Set up a session with urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:secDNS-1.1.
  • Register a domain with secDNS.
