Dear All,

I have tried to switch from manually signed DNSSEC zone to dnssec-policy "standard", and BIND9 server started
behaving odd. Here is the manual signing conf:

include "/etc/bind/keys/domac.alu.hr-tsig.key";

zone "alu.hr" in {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/zones/alu.hr.db.signed";
        allow-transfer { key domac.alu.hr-key; 161.53.2.70; };
        also-notify { 31.147.205.54; 161.53.2.70; };
        forwarders {};
};

... and the automatic signing conf:

zone "alu.hr" in {
        type master;
        file "/var/cache/bind/alu.hr.db";
        allow-transfer { key domac.alu.hr-key; 161.53.2.70; };
        also-notify { 31.147.205.54; 161.53.2.70; };
        dnssec-policy "standard";
        forwarders {};
};

There was a symbolic link /var/cache/bind/alu.hr.db -> /etc/bind/zones/alu.hr.db .

The logfile is too long to post, so I will add link: https://domac.alu.hr/~mtodorov/tmp/named-20220601.log

NOTE: Fun starts when I tried to automatically sing zone in zonefile /etc/bind/zones/alu.hr.db, and APPARMOR denied opening file to BIND. Maybe that confused the good old BIND9 server?

Then I added link in /var/cache/bind, as for DDNS zones.

The the zone appeared signed, but with only NSEC records, no RRSIGs, with this in log:

I couldn't Google out any such message.

However, the BIND server started acting like a runaway, displying lines like this in the log:

Jun  1 22:06:55 domac named[43715]: validating arpa/DS: no valid signature found Jun  1 22:06:55 domac named[43715]: validating arpa/DS: no valid signature found Jun  1 22:06:56 domac named[43715]: validating arpa/DS: no valid signature found Jun  1 22:06:56 domac named[43715]: validating arpa/DS: no valid signature found Jun  1 22:06:56 domac named[43715]: validating arpa/DS: no valid signature found Jun  1 22:06:56 domac named[43715]: validating arpa/DS: no valid signature found Jun  1 22:06:56 domac named[43715]: validating arpa/DS: no valid signature found Jun  1 22:06:56 domac named[43715]: validating arpa/DS: no valid signature found Jun  1 22:06:56 domac named[43715]: validating arpa/DS: no valid signature found Jun  1 22:06:56 domac named[43715]: validating arpa/DS: no valid signature found Jun  1 22:06:56 domac named[43715]: validating hr/DS: no valid signature found Jun  1 22:06:56 domac named[43715]: validating hr/DS: no valid signature found Jun  1 22:06:56 domac named[43715]: validating hr/DS: no valid signature found Jun  1 22:06:56 domac named[43715]: validating arpa/DS: no valid signature found Jun  1 22:06:56 domac named[43715]: validating ./NS: no valid signature found

... and at very fast rate, so I reverted to the manually signed conf.

Any idea how could I still apply dnssec-policy? Manual signing works, but it is tedious, and easy to forget to sign ...

For other subzones, mainly slava.alu.hr, conversion from manually signed RSA keys to automatically signed DNSSEC standard policy worked out-of-the-box.

HERE is the policy (from DNSSEC manual):

dnssec-policy standard {
    dnskey-ttl 600;
    keys {
        ksk lifetime 365d algorithm ecdsap256sha256;
        zsk lifetime 60d algorithm ecdsap256sha256;
    };
    max-zone-ttl 600;
    parent-ds-ttl 600;
    parent-propagation-delay 2h;
    publish-safety 7d;
    retire-safety 7d;
    signatures-refresh 5d;
    signatures-validity 15d;
    signatures-validity-dnskey 15d;
    zone-propagation-delay 2h;
};

Thanks for any idea how to get out of this.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Mirsad
