|
||
<p><span><strong class="command">ddns-confgen</strong></span>
|
||
generates a key for use by <span><strong class="command">nsupdate</strong></span>
|
||
and <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>. It simplifies configuration
|
||
of dynamic zones by generating a key and providing the
|
||
<span><strong class="command">nsupdate</strong></span> and <span><strong class="command">named.conf</strong></span>
|
||
syntax that will be needed to use it, including an example
|
||
<span><strong class="command">update-policy</strong></span> statement.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If a domain name is specified on the command line, it will
|
||
be used in the name of the generated key and in the sample
|
||
<span><strong class="command">named.conf</strong></span> syntax. For example,
|
||
<span><strong class="command">ddns-confgen example.com</strong></span> would
|
||
generate a key called "ddns-key.example.com", and sample
|
||
<span><strong class="command">named.conf</strong></span> command that could be used
|
||
in the zone definition for "example.com".
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Note that <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> itself can configure a
|
||
local DDNS key for use with <span><strong class="command">nsupdate -l</strong></span>.
|
||
<span><strong class="command">ddns-confgen</strong></span> is only needed when a
|
||
more elaborate configuration is required: for instance, if
|
||
<span><strong class="command">nsupdate</strong></span> is to be used from a remote system.

<div class="variablelist"><dl>
|
||
<dt><span class="term">-a <em class="replaceable"><code>algorithm</code></em></span></dt>
|
||
<dd><p>
|
||
Specifies the algorithm to use for the TSIG key. Available
|
||
choices are: hmac-md5, hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256,
|
||
hmac-sha384 and hmac-sha512. The default is hmac-sha256.
|
||
</p></dd>
|
||
<dt><span class="term">-h</span></dt>
|
||
<dd><p>
|
||
Prints a short summary of the options and arguments to
|
||
<span><strong class="command">ddns-confgen</strong></span>.
|
||
</p></dd>
|
||
<dt><span class="term">-k <em class="replaceable"><code>keyname</code></em></span></dt>
|
||
<dd><p>
|
||
Specifies the key name of the DDNS authentication key.
|
||
The default is <code class="constant">ddns-key</code> when neither
|
||
the <code class="option">-s</code> nor <code class="option">-z</code> option is
|
||
specified; otherwise, the default
|
||
is <code class="constant">ddns-key</code> as a separate label
|
||
followed by the argument of the option, e.g.,
|
||
<code class="constant">ddns-key.example.com.</code>
|
||
The key name must have the format of a valid domain name,
|
||
consisting of letters, digits, hyphens and periods.
|
||
</p></dd>
|

<dt><span class="term">-q</span></dt>
|

Quiet mode: Print only the key, with no explanatory text or
|
||
usage examples.
|
||
</p></dd>
|
||
<dt><span class="term">-r <em class="replaceable"><code>randomfile</code></em></span></dt>
|
||
<dd><p>
|
||
Specifies a source of random data for generating the
|
||
authorization. If the operating system does not provide a
|
||
<code class="filename">/dev/random</code> or equivalent device, the
|
||
default source of randomness is keyboard input.
|
||
<code class="filename">randomdev</code> specifies the name of a
|
||
character device or file containing random data to be used
|
||
instead of the default. The special value
|
||
<code class="filename">keyboard</code> indicates that keyboard input
|
||
should be used.

</p></dd>

<dt><span class="term">-s <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em></span></dt>

<dd><p>

Single host mode: The example <span><strong class="command">named.conf</strong></span> text
|
||
shows how to set an update policy for the specified
|
||
<em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em>
|
||
using the "name" nametype.
|
||
The default key name is
|
||
ddns-key.<em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em>.
|
||
Note that the "self" nametype cannot be used, since
|
||
the name to be updated may differ from the key name.
|
||
This option cannot be used with the <code class="option">-z</code> option.

</p></dd>

zone mode: The example <span><strong class="command">named.conf</strong></span> text
|
||
shows how to set an update policy for the specified

<em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em>
|
||
using the "zonesub" nametype, allowing updates to all subdomain
|
||
names within
|
