Supported Features

To setup the nominet module

Go to Configuration > Domain Registrars and then select Nominet from the dropdown menu. You will then need to enter the username (Your IPS Tag) & password you have setup for the EPP system inside your Nominet account.

You will also need to authorize your server IP for access to your Nominet account via the API as they restrict IP access to accounts.

Common Errors

Unable to find the socket transport "ssl"

This error indicates SSL communication support is missing from the PHP build on your server. To resolve, you need to recompile PHP with OpenSSL included.

Nominet are very particular about the formatting of client data, this error usually indicates a problem with the client's details under their Profile or Contacts tabs. The postcode should be formatted correctly (XX11 1XX) and the phone number formatted 01234 567891.

Error Connecting to ssl://epp.nominet.org.uk on port 700

This error indicates that either a firewall rule is blocking connections on port 700 or that your servers IP has not been authorized to access your account on the Nominet side of things.
