Metaregistrar EPP documentation

Getting a DNS Belgium authorization token email

Almost all registries adhere to the EPP standard that a domain:info command should return the Authcode (token) of the domain name, when it is in your portfolio.

The registry for .BE domain names (DNS Belgium) is an exception to this case. They will send the token only to the e-mail address of the contact that is listed as registrant of the .BE domain name.

To be able to automate this, we have added an extension that will execute this request. Please note that this command will not return an EPP Authcode, but will instead ask DNS Belgium to send the Authcode of this domain name to the respective registrant.

Please make sure that the e-mail address of the registrant is correct before issuing this command. It is possible to alter the e-mail address of the registrant without the need for an authentication token.

You will then receive a normal domain info response. The registrant will receive the authcode to the domain
