DNS_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_ZSK

DNS_ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED_ON_ZSK means the requested action applies to a Key Signing Key or to another key state, not to the selected Zone Signing Key (ZSK).

What to check

  • Confirm whether the selected key is a KSK or a ZSK and what the intended operation changes.
  • Use a key of the required role instead of trying to force the operation on the ZSK.
  • Review key states before scheduling rollovers or modifying DNSSEC delegation information.
