5.12.1. Send AuthInfo for domain

A domain sendAuthInfo command is used to provide the autorization information (AuthInfo) associated with the domain object to the registrant and the administrative contacts of the domain.

The client sends only the request for the provision to the Registry and the Registry sends the AuthInfo to the email of the registrant and of all administrative contacts.These actions do not happen when the transfer of the domain is forbidden, i.e the domain 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.

5.12.1.1. Command element structure

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

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 -->
            <domain:sendAuthInfo xmlns:domain="http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/domain-1.4"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/domain-1.4 domain-1.4.5.xsd">
               <domain:name>example.cz</domain:name>
            </domain:sendAuthInfo>
         </fred:sendAuthInfo>
         <fred:clTRID>chsu002#17-08-08at16:33:10</fred:clTRID>
      </fred:extcommand>
   </extension>
</epp>
FRED-eppic equivalent
> send-auth-info-domain --name=example.cz

5.12.1.2. 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
Example - possible response in FRED 2.48.0
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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">
   <response>
      <result code="1000">
            <msg>Command completed successfully</msg>
      </result>
      <resData>
            <nsset:sendAuthInfoData
               xmlns:nsset="http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/nsset-1.2"
               xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/nsset-1.2 nsset-1.2.4.xsd">
               <nsset:email>j*****@d*****.*</nsset:email>
            </nsset:sendAuthInfoData>
      </resData>
      <trID>
            <clTRID>pxmeik#2025-04-08T14:21:27.062118</clTRID>
            <svTRID>ReqID-0009067996</svTRID>
      </trID>
   </response>
