The look of the current registrar web has largely remained unchanged since its launch, and we have long wished to revise and modernise this part of our websites, too.
Our goal with the new registrar web is to make it easier to find the information you need and make it easier to keep your contact information updated. We have also added some new features.
We hope that the end product is a more user-friendly registrar web that meets your needs as a registrar, while also complying with the universal design requirements.
Login
All the information you have registered in the current regiatrar web will be kept and used in the new version. This includes all your users, so you can log in with the same username and password you already have.
What user level you have will decide how much information is available to you on the registrar web. Users with read-only access can see most of the contents, but they cannot make any changes to it. Information not available via read-only access is, EPP settings, IP lists and access to user administration.
Users with admin access can see all content available to the registrar in the registrar web. They can also make changes and updates to the registrar’s contact information, users and more.
Important changes
Design
The design on the registrar web has been harmonised with the design on Norid’s technical website (teknisk.norid.no). This includes the menu setup. The design is set to meet the requirements for universal design.
It is also responsive and supports tablet devices but does not yet support mobile phones.
Contents
A new feature on the registrar web is a dashboard where you are presented with key figures for your portfolio, and links to the most used information in the current registrar web.
All information about economy/money will now be available under a common menu. This is where you find which invoice address you have registered, read your invoicing details and download copies of your invoices.
All help pages have been removed and replaced with inline help buttons: (?).
Bi-lingual
The registrar web has only been available in English so far. The new version will also be available in Norwegian.
Lost password
You can now request a link to set a new password for an existing user on the registrar web. For this to work, the user must have an email address registered in their user profile. We therefore recommend that you look over the user profiles in your registrar account and check that they all have valid email addresses registered.
When this is set up properly, you will only ever need to ask Norid for help in cases where the user profile lacks a valid email address, and no other local users with admin access are available to do the updates.
Description of IP-addresses
In the list where you whitelist IP-addresses and -blocks for access to the registry and whois services, we have added a description field. You can use this to describe who is using each IP-address.
We hope this will make it easier to maintain the whitelist, and remove IP-addresses that should no longer have access to the services.
API
We offer a new JSON/REST-API that lets you download and read data files. To use this service, you must create an API user account that will be used for authentication against the API. You do this in the user admin page on the registrar web.
Confirm your contact information
You must confirm your contact information every six months. When the confirmation is due, a dialogue box will appear when you log in.
The test system
The test system will be updated with the new version of the registrar web on Tuesday 20 September 2022. We recommend that you familiarise yourself with the new registrar web in the test system before it goes live in the production system on 11 October 2022.
Please note that part 2 of the registrar test will be updated due to the coming changes in the registrar web.
If there is anything you miss, or if you have other feedback regarding the new registrar web, you can send this to info@norid.no. We also want to hear from you if any of the features do not work as expected.
