5.12.2. Send AuthInfo for contact¶

The contact’s sendAuthInfo command provides the autorization information (AuthInfo) which can be used either as a password for contact transfers, or as a parameter of the contact_info command to make hidden data visible.

The client sends only the request for the provision to the Registry and the Registry sends the AuthInfo to the email of the contact. These actions happen even when the transfer of the contact is forbidden, i.e the contact has the status serverTransferProhibited.

This command is a part of the protocol extension defined by the FRED EPP server.

The command must be contained in the <fred:sendAuthInfo> command type.

5.12.2.1. Command element structure¶

The <contact:sendAuthInfo> element must declare the contact namespace and schema and it must contain the following child element:

<contact:id> (1) – a contact handle as fredcom:objIDType.

Example¶

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd">
<extension>
   <fred:extcommand xmlns:fred="http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/fred-1.5"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/fred-1.5 fred-1.5.0.xsd">
      <!-- Custom command type -->
      <fred:sendAuthInfo>
         <!-- The object-defined command -->
         <contact:sendAuthInfo xmlns:contact="http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/contact-1.6"
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/contact-1.6 contact-1.6.6.xsd">
            <contact:id>CID-MYOWN</contact:id>
         </contact:sendAuthInfo>
      </fred:sendAuthInfo>
      <fred:clTRID>rhgo002#17-08-08at17:10:00</fred:clTRID>
   </fred:extcommand>
</extension>
</epp>

FRED-client equivalent¶

> sendauthinfo_contact CID-MYOWN

5.12.2.2. Response element structure¶

The FRED EPP server responds with a plain result message which does not contain any response data (no <resData>).

Important

Since FRED 2.48.0, server can be configured to return partially disclosed email addresses of AuthInfo recipients. In such case, response may contain <resData>.

Example - possible configuration in FRED 2.48.0¶

 [rifd]
 # With this flag set, even if disclose policy "hide" is set for
 # email and notify_email, their values can be partially disclosed
 # in response to SendAuthInfo.
 partially_disclose_contact_emails = true
