The ICANN CZDS.
ICANN has restored access to its Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS) improving or adding features.
The system is used for monitoring the zone files across TLDs and gTLDs:
As previously communicated, ICANN has deployed several updates to the CZDS today. The updates haves been successfully completed and CZDS is ready for your use again.
The updates to the CZDS were deployed in order to enhance navigation, to increase password security, and to provide additional assistance in the help section for both end-users and Registry Operators.
Now that the maintenance is complete and the updates have been deployed, you will be asked to create a new password when you next login to the CZDS. The requirement to create a new password upon your next login is to bring your password in line with the enhanced password rules ICANN has deployed. Please update your password according to the guidelines provided after the login screen to continue using the CZDS.
If you have questions, please free to submit them by either opening a case in the GDD portal or by emailing your questions to customerservice@icann.org.
Kind regards,
ICANN Registry Services
