About IRS OTE environment¶
It is important to note that the IRS OTE environment is not complete and some settings may change. If you encounter any issues or problems please let our support team know.
This OTE has no production data or any test data pre-seeded for you. You will need to start with creating contact and host objects and then create some domains to do your testing.
Please note:
In the event that we need to rebuild this environment, you may lose your test data, we will try to give you plenty of advance notice.
The documentation included is still under development, please let us know if you find anything missing or if you find anomalies.
To assist in testing please refer to the IRS Registrar Guide 8.0 (download PDF)
Domain lifecycle settings¶
Grace period for renewals, and registrations have been set to 1 day (they are 5 days in production).
The auto-renewal grace period has also been set to 1 day (45 days in production)
The Redemption Grace Period (Pending Release) has been set to 2 days (90 days in production).
This has been done to assist you to simulate lifecycle testing in a shorter timetable.
