Viewing key details

Review general information of a Zone Signing Key (ZSK) and Key Signing Key (KSK).

Note: The Address Manager v25.1.0 UI displays ZSK/KSK timestamps according to the browser's timezone. If the Address Manager server is configured with a different timezone than the browser, the timestamp on the server will be converted to the browser's timezone when displayed in the UI.

To view ZSK/KSK details:

  1. Select the DNS or IPAM tab in the sidebar, then navigate to a DNS zone or reverse zone.
  2. Select the DNSSEC tab.
  3. Select the row containing the ZSK or KSK.
  4. The expanded details section displays the following information about the DNSSEC key:
    • Object ID—the system identification number for the DNSSEC key.
    • Active—the status of the key. Yes indicates that the key is currently active. No indicates that the key is inactive; either its start time hasn't yet been reached, or its expiry date has elapsed.
    • Key provider—the selected key provider (either Address Manager or Entrust HSM).
    • TTL—the TTL (time to live) for the key if an override TTL is specified when the key is created.
    • Algorithm—the algorithm used to generate the key.
    • Creation time—the date and time the key was generated.
    • Expiration time—the date and time at which the key expires.
    • Key tag—the key tag data for the key. The key tag is used during DNSSEC validation and when signing and resigning zones.
    • Length (bits)—the number of bits in the key.
    • Start time—the date and time for the beginning of the key’s validity period. The start time is always midnight of the day you created the key.
