OpenDNSSEC

Introduction

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.

Dependencies

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)

Building from the source code respository

If the code is downloaded directly from the source code respository (git), you have to prepare the configuration scripts before continuing with build:

1. Install automake, autoconf and libtool.
2. Run the command autogen.sh to build configure scripts etc.
