To configure DNSSEC on Ubuntu, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Install the DNSSEC package:
1
sudo apt-get install dnssec-tools


  1. Generate a key pair:
1
dnssec-keygen -a NSEC3RSASHA1 -b 2048 -n ZONE example.com


Note: Replace "example.com" with your domain name.

  1. This will generate two files in the current directory:
  • example.com.key: This file contains the public key.
  • example.com.private: This file contains the private key.
  1. Add the public key to your DNS zone file:
1
example.com. IN DNSKEY 257 3 8 AwEAAb3TqH0IyGz4......


Note: Replace the key value with the contents of the example.com.key file.

  1. Sign your DNS zone file:
1
sudo dnssec-signzone -o example.com -k example.com.private example.com.zone


Note: Replace "example.com" with your domain name and "example.com.zone" with your DNS zone file.

  1. Reload the DNS server:
1
sudo service bind9 reload


Note: Replace "bind9" with the name of your DNS server.


DNSSEC should now be configured on your Ubuntu server.
