All statements now use .. namedconf:statement:: or
.. rndcconf:statement:: syntax provided by our Sphinx extension.
This has several consequences:
- It changes how statement headings are rendered
- Statements are indexed and show up as separate items in doc
search results (in the HTML version)
- Statements can be linked to using either :any:`statement` or
:namedconf:ref:`statement` syntax (not used in this commit)
- Statements can be categorized and printed using ..
namedconf:statatementlist:: syntax (not used in this commit)
Warn users that server-side IP addresses are not stored in dnstap
captures of resolver traffic unless "query-source(-v6)" is explicitly
set, explaining why it is so.
The two procedures were essentially the same, but each instance was
missing some details from the other. They are now combined into one text
in the DNSSEC Guide and linked from DNSSEC chapter.
Private Type Records are not specific to manually signing, so it is
better to move it to the end of the "Zone Signing" section shared by all
three methods.
Mostly deduplicating and linking information across the ARM.
Generally people should not touch it unless they what they are doing, so
let's try to discourage them a bit.
The goal is simplicity. Copy&paste to do the right thing, or read
referenced material and make up your mind if you need specialities.
NSEC discussion is already present in the DNSSEC guide so I merged
KASP examples with example for NSEC3 and removed NSEC text from the
DNSSEC chapter.
Use best practice values in examples that follow new guidance from
draft-ietf-dnsop-nsec3-guidance:
; SHA-1, no extra iterations, empty salt:
;
bcp.example. IN NSEC3PARAM 1 0 0 -
Restructure the section about dynamic zones and automatic signing:
- Focus on dynamic zones with 'auto-dnssec allow;'.
- Add a section about multi-signer models.
- Move NSEC3 related topics into one section.
- Remove any text that does not concern dynamic zones (mostly duplicate
text anyway).
Move bits from the "DNSSEC, Dynamic Zones, and Automatic Signing"
about denial of existence to a separate section below the "Key and
Signing Policy" section.
Add a brief introduction about denial of existence to this section.
Restructure the first part of the DNSSEC chapter that deals with zone
signing. Put dnssec-policy first. Mention Key and Signing Policy.
Only then talk about the DNSSEC tools.
Make clear that inline-signing stores DNSSEC records in a signed
version of the zone, using the zone's filename plus ".signed" extension.
Tell that dynamic zones store updates in the zone's filename.
DNSSEC records for dynamic zones also go in the zone's filename, unless
inline-signing is enabled.
Then, dnssec-policy assumes inline-signing, but only if the zone is
not dynamic.
Based on measurements done on BIND v9_19_2 using bank. TLD and a
synthetitc fullly signed zone, using RSASHA256 and ECDSAP256SHA256
algorithms with NSEC and NSEC3 without opt-out.
This section was completely out of date. Current measurements on dataset
Telco EU 2022-02 and BIND 9.19.1 indicate absolutely different results
than described in the old version of the text.
Guide in this repo is tied to latest version anyway, so let's not even
mention ancient versions of BIND.
This also solves the OpenSSL question because it is now mandatory for
build, which subsequently removes the entropy problem - so let's not
mention it either.
It turns out it is easier to regenerate Sphinx-mandated structure in
get_objects than to maintain two separate data structures. I should have
realized that before.
New directive .. statementlist:: generates table of statements in a
the given domain (named.conf or rndc.conf). The table contains link to
definition, short description, and also list of tags.
Short description and tags have to be provided by user using optional
parameters. E.g.:
.. statement:: max-cache-size
:tags: resolver, cache
:short: Short description
.. statementlist:: is currently not parametrized.
This modification is based on Sphinx "tutorial" extension "TODO".
The main trick is to use placeholder node for .. statementlist:: and
replace it with table at later stage, when all source files were
processed and all cross-references can be resolved.
Beware, some details in Sphinx docs are not up-to-date, it's better
to read Sphinx and docutil sources.
New and currently unused values can be provided using this syntax:
.. statement:: max-cache-size
:tags: resolver, cache
:short: Short description
The domain stores them in its internal structures for further use.
The extension provides a "Sphinx domain factory". Each new Sphinx domain
defines a namespace for configuration statements so named.conf and
rndc.conf do not clash. Currently the Sphinx domains are instantiated
twice and resuling domains are named "namedconf" and "rndcconf".
This commit adds a single new directive:
.. statement:: max-cache-size
It is namespaced like this:
.. namedconf:statement:: max-cache-size
This directive generates a new anchor for configuration statement and it
can be referenced like :any:`max-cache-size` (if the identifier is
unique), or more specific :namedconf:ref:`max-cache-size`.
It is based on Sphinx "tutorial" extension "recipe".
Beware, some details in Sphinx docs are not up-to-date, it's better
to read Sphinx and docutil sources.
