Protocol Tool

The Protocol Tool is a Java Client that can connect to multiple environments (OT&E, Production, EPP SDK Stub Server) with a set of customizable templates and with three menu layouts.  The layouts supported include Name Store, SRS (COM/NET), and NAME.  The Protocol Tool can connect to servers using multiple transports in parallel (EPP/SSL, EPP/TCP, EPP/HTTPS, EPP/HTTP, RRP/SSL, RRP/TCP) and supports templates in both EPP and RRP where applicable.  It requires Java 1.4 or higher and requires an official Java Keystore for connecting to OT&E or Production.
