OpenSRS

Connect your OpenSRS reseller account to handle domain orders and manage existing customer domains in WISECP.

Accessing the Screen

Open Products → Domains → Domain Name Registrars → All Modules → OpenSRS: {admin}/module/registrars?module=OpenSRS.

What Is on the Screen

Module Settings connects your reseller account. Import lists existing domains. This module has no Import Extensions, automatic cost update or cost currency controls.

Preparing the OpenSRS Account

1. Sign in to the OpenSRS Reseller Control Panel as the primary reseller user. Open Account settings → API settings.
2. Copy the API key. Generate new API key invalidates the previous key, so coordinate replacements with every connected system.
3. For production, open IP access rules → Edit. Enter the WISECP server’s outbound IP, select the matching CIDR prefix and Allow, then click Add.
4. Prepare the separate Horizon test key at the test control panel. See API key setup and Horizon access.

The server must reach OpenSRS over HTTPS on port 55443. Production uses rr-n1-tor.opensrs.net; test mode uses horizon.opensrs.net. Horizon requires its API key but does not require IP authorization.

Tasks

Connecting and Testing

1. In Module Settings, enable Test Mode and enter Horizon credentials.
2. Click Test Connection beside Save Changes. It sends an API ping without registering a domain.
3. After success, click Save Changes, then reopen the form to confirm the mode. No separate server record is needed.
4. For production, disable Test Mode, enter live credentials, test and save. Fund the reseller balance before purchases.

Assigning Extensions and Prices

1. Open Products → Domains → Add Extension. Enter the extension, prices and supported features, select OpenSRS, then click Add Extension.
2. For an existing extension, choose OpenSRS under Registrar in its row and click Update Extensions.
3. Open the row’s Pricing window. Enter registration, transfer and renewal prices, then click Save Changes.
4. Verify the saved assignment and prices. Update costs manually when OpenSRS changes them; the module does not fetch a price catalog.

Importing Existing Domains

1. Create the extensions first. Open the module’s Import tab, choose customers and check dates against OpenSRS.
2. Click Import, then inspect the resulting services under Orders → Services. Local service creation does not register or transfer domains.

If the list fails or appears incomplete, compare it with the reseller panel before retrying. A successful ping does not verify account-wide domain listing.

Domain Orders and Synchronization

Registration sends contacts, the selected period, nameservers and requested privacy. Inbound transfer requires the current registrar’s unlock and authorization code where applicable. Renewal uses the selected years. Synchronization reads dates and transfer results. Check provider status before repeating an uncertain order.

Managing a Domain

Open a domain under Orders → Services. WHOIS reads and updates contacts and supports privacy through the active addon. Transfer → Get Auth (EPP) Code requests the authorization code.

The displayed transfer-lock control uses OpenSRS’s owner-change lock preference. It does not establish whether the current domain transfer lock is enabled. Check and manage the actual lock in OpenSRS before an outgoing transfer.

DNS manages OpenSRS-hosted A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX and SRV records. Each edit replaces the zone. Entered TTL is not sent; custom SRV weight and port cannot be entered through these module methods.

Nameservers are sent with new orders. Later nameserver changes must be made in OpenSRS; editing DNS records does not change domain delegation. This integration has no child nameserver management, DNSSEC, separate forwarding screens or expired-domain recovery. Customer controls depend on permissions and active addons.

Things to Consider

Required Permissions

Setup requires Domain Name Registrars permission. Service operations require their corresponding service permissions.
