This commit adds support for setting TLS cipher list string in the
format specified in the OpenSSL
documentation (https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man1/ciphers.html).
The syntax of the cipher list is verified so that specifying the wrong
string will prevent the configuration from being loaded.
This commit adds support for loading DH-parameters (Diffie-Hellman
parameters) via the new "dhparam-file" option within "tls" clause. In
particular, Diffie-Hellman parameters are needed to enable the range
of forward-secrecy enabled cyphers for TLSv1.2, which are getting
silently disabled otherwise.
This commit adds the ability to specify allowed TLS protocols versions
within the "tls" clause. If an unsupported TLS protocol version is
specified in a file, the configuration file will not pass
verification.
Also, this commit adds strict checks for "tls" clauses verification,
in particular:
- it ensures that loading configuration files containing duplicated
"tls" clauses is not allowed;
- it ensures that loading configuration files containing "tls" clauses
missing "cert-file" or "key-file" is not allowed;
- it ensures that loading configuration files containing "tls" clauses
named as "ephemeral" or "none" is not allowed.
The Debian 10 (buster) Docker image, which GitLab CI uses for building
documentation, currently contains the following package versions:
- Sphinx 4.2.0
- sphinx-rtd-theme 1.0.0
- docutils 0.17.1
Regenerate the man pages to match contents produced in a Sphinx
environment using the above package versions. This is necessary to
prevent the "docs" GitLab CI job from failing.
"cache-file" was already documented as intended for testing
purposes only and not to be used, so we can remove it without
waiting. this commit marks the option as "ancient", and
removes all the documentation and implementing code, including
dns_cache_setfilename() and dns_cache_dump().
it also removes the documentation for the '-x cachefile`
parameter to named, which had already been removed, but the man
page was not updated at the time.

The native PKCS#11 support has been removed in favour of better
maintained, more performance and easier to use OpenSSL PKCS#11 engine
from the OpenSC project.
Previously, when dnssec-cds copied CDS records to make DS records,
its -a algorithm option did not have any effect. This means that if
the child zone is signed with older software that generates SHA-1 CDS
records, dnssec-cds would (by default) create SHA-1 DS records in
violation of RFC 8624.
This change makes the dnssec-cds -a option apply to CDS records as
well as CDNSKEY records. In the CDS case, the -a algorithms are the
acceptable subset of possible CDS algorithms. If none of the CDS
records are acceptable, dnssec-cds tries to generate DS records from
CDNSKEY records.
- add an 'nsupdate -C' option to override resolv.conf file for nsupdate
- set resolv.conf to use two test servers, the first one of which will
return REFUSED for a query for 'example'.
The Windows support has been completely removed from the source tree
and BIND 9 now no longer supports native compilation on Windows.
We might consider reviewing mingw-w64 port if contributed by external
party, but no development efforts will be put into making BIND 9 compile
and run on Windows again.
Commit bdb777b2a2 updated the man pages
to contents produced using:
- Sphinx 4.0.2
- sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2
- docutils 0.17.1
However, sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2 is incompatible with versions 0.17+ of
the docutils package. This problem was addressed in the Docker image
used for building man pages by downgrading the docutils package to
version 0.16.
Regenerate the man pages again, this time using:
- Sphinx 4.0.2
- sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2
- docutils 0.16
This is necessary to prevent the "docs" GitLab CI job from failing.
The default value of the "man_make_section_directory" Sphinx option was
changed in Sphinx 4.0.1, which broke building man pages in maintainer
mode as the shell code in doc/man/Makefile.am expects man pages to be
built in doc/man/_build/man/, not doc/man/_build/man/<section_number>/.
The aforementioned change in defaults was reverted in Sphinx 4.0.2, but
this issue should still be prevented from reoccurring in the future.
Ensure that by explicitly setting the "man_make_section_directory"
option to False.
The man pages produced by Sphinx 4.0.2 are slightly different than those
produced by Sphinx 3.5.4. As Sphinx 4.0.2 is now used in GitLab CI,
update all doc/man/*in files so that they reflect what that version of
Sphinx produces, in order to prevent GitLab CI job failures.
This commit adds a new configuration option to set the receive and send
buffer sizes on the TCP and UDP netmgr sockets. The default is `0`
which doesn't set any value and just uses the value set by the operating
system.
There's no magic value here - set it too small and the performance will
drop, set it too large, the buffers can fill-up with queries that have
already timeouted on the client side and nobody is interested for the
answer and this would just make the server clog up even more by making
it produce useless work.
The `netstat -su` can be used on POSIX systems to monitor the receive
and send buffer errors.
Some man pages (e.g. dnstap-read.1, named-nzd2nzf.1) should only be
installed conditionally (when the relevant features are enabled in a
given BIND 9 build). This is achieved using Automake conditionals.
However, while all source reStructuredText files are included in
tarballs produced by "make dist" (distribution tarballs) as they should
be, the list of pre-generated man pages included in distribution
tarballs incorrectly depends on the ./configure switches used for the
build for which "make dist" is run. Meanwhile, distribution tarballs
should always contain all the files necessary to build any flavor of
BIND 9.
Here is an example scenario which fails to work as intended:
autoreconf -i
./configure --disable-maintainer-mode
make dist
tar --extract --file bind-9.17.11.tar.xz
cd bind-9.17.11
./configure --disable-maintainer-mode --enable-dnstap
make
Fix by always including pre-generated versions of all conditionally
installed man pages in EXTRA_DIST. While this may cause some of them to
appear in EXTRA_DIST more than once (depending on the ./configure
switches used for the build for which "make dist" is run), it seems to
not be a problem for Automake.
The named-checkzone tool can also be invoked as named-compilezone. Make
sure a man page is installed for that alias. Move and rename the
"man_named-checkzone" label to prevent a Sphinx duplicate label warning
from being raised (see commit 84862e96c1
for more information).
The named-nzd2nzf utility is only built and installed for LMDB-enabled
builds. Adjust the relevant Makefile.am file to make sure the
named-nzd2nzf.1 man page is also only built and installed for
LMDB-enabled builds.
The dnstap-read utility is only built and installed for dnstap-enabled
builds. Adjust the relevant Makefile.am file to make sure the
dnstap-read.1 man page is also only built and installed for
dnstap-enabled builds.
when the 'max-ixfr-ratio' option was added, journal transaction
headers were revised to include a count of RR's in each transaction.
this made it impossible to read old journal files after an upgrade.
this branch restores the ability to read version 1 transaction
headers. when rolling forward, printing journal contents, if
the wrong transaction header format is found, we can switch.
when dns_journal_rollforward() detects a version 1 transaction
header, it returns DNS_R_RECOVERABLE. this triggers zone_postload()
to force a rewrite of the journal file in the new format, and
also to schedule a dump of the zone database with minimal delay.
journal repair is done by dns_journal_compact(), which rewrites
the entire journal, ignoring 'max-journal-size'. journal size is
corrected later.
newly created journal files now have "BIND LOG V9.2" in their headers
instead of "BIND LOG V9". files with the new version string cannot be
read using the old transaction header format. note that this means
newly created journal files will be rejected by older versions of named.
named-journalprint now takes a "-x" option, causing it to print
transaction header information before each delta, including its
format version.
Add a new option 'purge-keys' to 'dnssec-policy' that will purge key
files for deleted keys. The option determines how long key files
should be retained prior to removing the corresponding files from
disk.
If set to 0, the option is disabled and 'named' will not remove key
files from disk.
Man pages are currently only generated from reStructuredText sources
when "make man" is run in the doc/man/ directory. Tweak
doc/man/Makefile.am so that running "make doc" in the top-level
directory also causes man pages to be generated, so that all potential
documentation building problems can be detected by a single make
invocation.
This commit adds stub parser support and tests for:
- an "http" global option for HTTP/2 endpoint configuration.
- command line options to set http or https port numbers by
specifying -p http=PORT or -p https=PORT. (NOTE: this change
only affects syntax; specifying HTTP and HTTPS ports on the
command line currently has no effect.)
- named.conf options "http-port" and "https-port"
- HTTPSPORT environment variable for use when running tests.
Simultaneously starting multiple sphinx-build instances with the -d
command line switch set to a common value (which is what happens when
e.g. "make -j6 doc" is run) causes intermittent problems which we failed
to notice before because they only trigger Sphinx warnings, not errors,
e.g.:
WARNING: toctree contains ref to nonexisting file 'reference'
The message above is not triggered because doc/arm/reference.rst is
actually missing from disk at any point, but rather because a temporary
file created by one sphinx-build instance gets truncated by another one
working in parallel (the confusing message quoted above is logged
because of an overly broad "except" statement in Sphinx code).
Prevent this problem from being triggered by making each sphinx-build
process use its own dedicated cache directory.
Add support for a "tls" key/value pair for zone primaries, referencing
either a "tls" configuration statement or "ephemeral". If set to use
TLS, zones will send SOA and AXFR/IXFR queries over a TLS channel.
