TECHNICAL INTEGRATION GUIDE – February 25th, 2013 173.3.4. Interrogation commandsEven though we detail the commands for the different types of objects (contactand domain) in the following chapters, here is a brief outline of what commandsare available and the use they have been intended to.3.3.4.1.The commandThis command enables to check if an object is available. Considering ourinternal way of managing « contacts », namely, an internal algorythm thatdetermines the identifier (Nic-handle) that will be associated to a « contact »object, the command can only be used on « domain » objects.Before any domain creation, it is strongly recommended to checkavailability. It is strongly recommended to use the DAS service (DomainAvailability System) IRIS D-CHK. Cf § 6. DAS.The DAS service is to be preferred to the EPP command.3.3.4.2.The commandWhen you wish to retrieve information on a domain name or a contact forwhich you know the identifier, you need to use this command.A registrar can only retrieve information on contacts linked to objects in hisportfolio. For domain names it is possible, if the associated password( element) is known, to retrieve information on a domain namemaintained by another registrar (this password is given by the holder duringthe operation among others).It is important to note that this command should only be used to retrieveinformation on objects and not used to check their availability for instance.This function is available through the command.Example for a IDN:C:C: C: C: C: xn--strae-42-tya.frC: C: C: PasTerribleCommeSecret666C: C:Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération | www.afnic.fr | contact@afnic.frTwitter : @AFNIC | Facebook : afnic.fr<strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Integration</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>- 17 -November 2009
