5.8.1. Transfer domain¶

A domain transfer command is used to take over sponsorship of a domain.

An AuthInfo (in role of transfer password) must be provided for authorization. It can be the AuthInfo of:

the domain,
the domain owner contact, or
an administrative contact of the domain.

A new AuthInfo is generated for the domain by the server after a successful transfer.

The domain transfer command is a transfer element in the domain namespace (http://www.nic.cz/xml/epp/domain-1.4).

The command must be contained in the <transfer> command type. The command type must specify the request operation (@op = 'request').

5.8.1.1. Command element structure¶

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

<domain:name> (1) – a domain name as eppcom:labelType,
<domain:authInfo> (1) – the authorization information (AuthInfo for short, in role of transfer password) as fredcom:authInfoType.

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">
<command>
   <transfer op="request">
      <domain:transfer 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>trdomain.cz</domain:name>
         <domain:authInfo>trpwd</domain:authInfo>
      </domain:transfer>
   </transfer>

</command>
</epp>

5.8.1.2. Response element structure¶

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