OpenDNSSEC was created as an open-source turn-key solution for DNSSEC. It secures zone data just before it is published in an authoritative name server.
More informnation can be found at the project website available at http://www.opendnssec.org/ and on the development WIKI at http://wiki.opendnssec.org/.
Information about announcements, bug reporting and mailing lists can be found at http://www.opendnssec.org/support/.
OpenDNSSEC depends on a number of external packages:
- libxml2 (including xmllint)
- LDNS
- SQLite3
To run OpenDNSSEC, one must have at least one crypto module providing a PKCS#11 library, e.g. SoftHSM (http://www.opendnssec.org/softHSM)
When building from the source code repository, the following dependencies are also needed:
- A Java runtime environment (JRE/JDK)
If the code is downloaded directly from the source code respository (git), you have to prepare the configuration scripts before continuing with build:
- Install automake, autoconf and libtool.
- Run the command autogen.sh to build configure scripts etc.
