Interpretation of Constraints

(1) : The <domain:name> element can be a mixture of any letters and numbers. The minimum length is 4 characters with a maximum of 263 characters.  For the ZA OT&E tests, the name must end with a “.test.dnservices.co.za suffix.

The complete regex for the domain name on the Live server is: ^((?!xn--))[A-Za-z0-9\-]+\[NAMESPACE]$
The complete regex for the domain name on the OT&E server is: ^((?!xn--))[a-z0-9]([a-z-0-9]*[a-z0-9]+)\.test.dnservices.co.za$

(2) : The <domain:period> element is only supported by some ZA Namespaces. Please reference the Published Policies and Procedures for each namespace to identify its possible use.
(3) : There must be a minimum of 2 <domain:hostAttr> elements and a maximum of 5. Providing 1 or more than 5 host attributes results in return code 2306.
(4) : The <domain:contact type=type> element is only supported by some namespaces in the ZA Namespaces. Please reference the Published Policies and Procedures for each namespace for identification.
(5) : The <domain:pw> element is only supported by some namespaces in the ZA Namespaces. Please reference the Published Policies and Procedures for each namespace for identification.

Interpretation of Constraints

(1) : The <domain:contact type=type> element is only supported by some namespaces in the ZA Namespaces. Please reference the Published Policies and Procedures for each namespace for identification.
(2) : The <domain:status s=”clientTransferProhibited> element is not supported. All domains in the ZA Namespaces must be able to be transfered. Attempting to set a status of “clientTransferProhibited” on a domain will return a result code of 2306.
(3) : The <domain:pw> element is only supported by some namespaces in the ZA Namespaces. Please reference the Published Policies and Procedures for each namespace for identification.
