"Domain Secret" - Secret no more!

[-db-]

Many people have been puzzled by the request for a "domain secret" when trying to transfer .IN/.CO.IN domains to Directi or a Directi reseller. Nobody knew what it was. I assumed it was just an odd choice of words for the "EPP Auth Code" that we've become accustomed to using for .US/.BIZ/.ORG (etc) but wanted to make sure.

Thank you for contacting Directi technical support.

Every thick TLD domains such as .org .info .name .in .biz .us .in need DOmain Transfer secret code or Authorization code while placing a transfer request.

This Domain Transfer Secret code is also known as EPP Auth Code.

Do get back to us for further support or assistance.

Regards,

Austin.

So now we know.

Poor "Hark"... nobody was able to find out for sure (until now) and he tried to transfer without using any codes at all. I'm pretty sure he just did a single name though, as an experiment. Hopefully it won't get lost in limbo for long.

just semantics, auth code, epp code, secret code they mean the same thing

I thought you were going to expound on some of your top secret domaining secrets here, -db-. Like how you end up with all those great domains.

I'm sad. You broke my dreams -db-. I believed in magical yet until you reveal the secret...

Now I got to figure out what an EPP code is & how to get.

I just tried to transfer putting unknown for the secret. PayPal processed the charge but since I am not considered a 'good guy' (verified I think) resellers will not process for a few days so adventures.co.in may spend eternity in limbo.

It's just an illusion RJ, done with smoke, mirrors and a sexy assistant. Most people never realize that all my domains are actually 3 word hyphenated org's. :blink:

I'm truly sorry to have crushed your dreams. The real domaining secrets are posted at midnight on the second full moon of each fall season. Check back then!

Hark, I haven't had any domains at DD24 in a very long time, way back before their makeover, so I don't know how they work now. The EPP "Auth Code" is standard transfer procedure though, so if you don't see it anywhere using their interface, then contact support and they should be able to get it. Make sure to tell them you want the "Auth Code", and not the "Domain Secret" since we know you already tried that and (like many of us) they didn't know it was the same thing.

Maybe a current DD24 user can post here and tell you where to find the code in their system.

Anybody?

They have the info stuck away in the FAQ's. If anyone needs it from DD24 there is a little i next to the domain name when listed. Click it and like magic there it is.

Hark, that's good to hear sir. Now you can finally get them moved over to Pratik's site. By the way, I just finished transferring a .IN domain over there today and everything was fine, so hopefully you've got smooth sailing ahead.

So now we know.

And knowing is half the battle! *plays GI Joe theme song*

Seriously though, I really wonder why all the semantics? Just call it EPP code for
goodness sakes...
