Generating a UDAI

In order to set a UDAI code (Unique Domain Authorisation ID) for your domain, please proceed as follows in the HEXONET Control Panel:

1. Unlock the domain (remove the transfer lock)
2. Wait a few minutes
3. go to Tools > API Library > ObjectLog and enter the domain.

The latest response will deliver the NEW UDAI. While using the API, after unlocking the domain, you will receive an Event from our system with the new UDAI code.

Expiring Authorization Codes

Please note that UDAIs may only be obtained from the current registrar of a domain name, and that they expire after 30 days.

Registering Reserved Second Level Domains

In order to register a reserved second-level .NZ domain for an existing third-level domain, you can simply request a transfer of the desired second-level name and provide the UDAI of your third-level domain with a period of 1 (one) year. If necessary, see above on how to obtain a UDAI for an existing domain.

The transfer may then be requested in our Control Panel or with the following API command using the new UDAI (AUTH) of the third-level domain:

COMMAND = Transferdomain
DOMAIN = example.nz
AUTH = ABCDE1234
PERIOD = 1
