Shared registration system
Systems and methods for updating a Domain Name System (DNS) registry are disclosed. Embodiments perform operations including maintaining a domain name record of a DNS registrant recorded in a database of the DNS registry by a primary DNS interface. The operations also include receiving a request to update the domain name record of the DNS registrant via a secondary DNS interface. The operations further include modifying the domain name record of the DNS registrant in the DNS database in accordance with the request.
1. A method of interfacing with a registry for a domain name system, the method comprising:
receiving, by a service provider, a request for an action associated with a domain name and an authorization to request the action at a registry;
providing, via a service interface for the registry, a corresponding request and a corresponding authorization, wherein the registry is operable to perform the action without receiving a registrar request for the action by a registrar for the domain name; and
receiving a confirmation from the registry.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is received from a requestor, the method further comprising: providing a corresponding confirmation to the requestor.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the action is not supported by a primary service interface for the registry.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the authorization comprises an authorization token.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the authorization token is an authorization token for a specific purpose.
6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising providing the authorization token to a second service provider to authorize the second service provider to request a second action associated with the domain name at the registry.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the authorization comprises an authentication assertion representing that a registrant of the domain name has successfully authenticated an identity of the registrant with an identity provider.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the authorization comprises a signature provided using a private key of a registrant of the domain name.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the authorization further comprises a signature provided using a private key of a second service provider.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising wherein the request is received from a second service provider.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is received from a registrant of the domain name.
12. A system for interfacing with a registry for a domain name system, the system for interfacing with the registry for the domain name system comprising:
a processor;
a data storage device; and
program instructions stored on the data storage device that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by a service provider, a request for an action associated with a domain name and an authorization to request the action at a registry;
providing, by the service provider via a service interface for the registry, a corresponding request and a corresponding authorization, wherein the registry is operable to perform the action without passing the request through a registrar for the domain name; and
receiving a confirmation from the registry.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the request is received from a requestor, the operations further comprising: providing a corresponding confirmation to the requestor.
14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the action is not supported by a primary service interface for the registry.
15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the authorization comprises an authorization token.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the authorization token is an authorization token for a specific purpose.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise providing the authorization token to a second service provider to authorize the second service provider to request a second action associated with the domain name at the registry.
18. The system of claim 12 , wherein the authorization comprises an authentication assertion representing that a registrant of the domain name has successfully authenticated an identity of the registrant with an identity provider.
19. The system of claim 12 , wherein the authorization comprises a signature provided using a private key of a registrant of the domain name.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the authorization further comprises a signature provided using a private key of a second service provider.
21. The system of claim 12 , wherein the request is received from a second service provider.
22. The system of claim 12 , wherein the request is received from a registrant of the domain name.
