https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-use-OVH-domain-api
7. Use nsupdate to automatically issue cert
First, generate a key for updating the zone
b=$(dnssec-keygen -a hmac-sha512 -b 512 -n USER -K /tmp foo)
cat > /etc/named/keys/update.key <<EOF
key "update" {
algorithm hmac-sha512;
secret "$(awk '/^Key/{print $2}' /tmp/$b.private)";
};
EOF
rm -f /tmp/$b.{private,key}
Include this key in your named configuration
include "/etc/named/keys/update.key";
Next, configure your zone to allow dynamic updates.
Depending on your named version, use either
zone "example.com" {
type master;
allow-update { key "update"; };
};
or
zone "example.com" {
type master;
update-policy {
grant update subdomain example.com.;
};
}
Finally, make the DNS server and update Key available to acme.sh
export NSUPDATE_SERVER="dns.example.com"
export NSUPDATE_KEY="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa=="
Ok, let's issue a cert now:
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_nsupdate -d example.com -d www.example.com

export Ali_Key="sdfsdfsdfljlbjkljlkjsdfoiwje"
export Ali_Secret="jlsdflanljkljlfdsaklkjflsa"
Ok, let's issue a cert now:
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_ali -d example.com -d www.example.com
The Ali_Key
and Ali_Secret
will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf
and will be reused when needed.
12. Use ISPConfig 3.1 API
This only works for ISPConfig 3.1 (and newer).
Create a Remote User in the ISPConfig Control Panel. The Remote User must have access to at least DNS zone functions
and DNS txt functions
.
export ISPC_User="xxx"
export ISPC_Password="xxx"
export ISPC_Api="https://ispc.domain.tld:8080/remote/json.php"
export ISPC_Api_Insecure=1
If you have installed ISPConfig on a different port, then alter the 8080 accordingly. Leaver ISPC_Api_Insecure set to 1 if you have not a valid ssl cert for your installation. Change it to 0 if you have a valid ssl cert.
To issue a cert:
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_ispconfig -d example.com -d www.example.com
The ISPC_User
, ISPC_Password
, ISPC_Api
and ISPC_Api_Insecure
will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf
and will be reused when needed.
13. Use Alwaysdata domain API
First you need to login to your Alwaysdata account to get your API Key.
export AD_API_KEY="myalwaysdataapikey"
Ok, let's issue a cert now:
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_ad -d example.com -d www.example.com
The AD_API_KEY
will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf
and will be reused
when needed.
14. Use Linode domain API
First you need to login to your Linode account to get your API Key. https://manager.linode.com/profile/api
Then add an API key with label ACME and copy the new key.
export LINODE_API_KEY="..."
Due to the reload time of any changes in the DNS records, we have to use the dnssleep
option to wait at least 15 minutes for the changes to take effect.
Ok, let's issue a cert now:
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_linode --dnssleep 900 -d example.com -d www.example.com
The LINODE_API_KEY
will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf
and will be reused when needed.
15. Use FreeDNS
FreeDNS (https://freedns.afraid.org/) does not provide an API to update DNS records (other than IPv4 and IPv6 dynamic DNS addresses). The acme.sh plugin therefore retrieves and updates domain TXT records by logging into the FreeDNS website to read the HTML and posting updates as HTTP. The plugin needs to know your userid and password for the FreeDNS website.
export FREEDNS_User="..."
export FREEDNS_Password="..."
You need only provide this the first time you run the acme.sh client with FreeDNS validation and then again
whenever you change your password at the FreeDNS site. The acme.sh FreeDNS plugin does not store your userid
or password but rather saves an authentication token returned by FreeDNS in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf
and
reuses that when needed.
Now you can issue a certificate.
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_freedns -d example.com -d www.example.com
Note that you cannot use acme.sh automatic DNS validation for FreeDNS public domains or for a subdomain that you create under a FreeDNS public domain. You must own the top level domain in order to automatically validate with acme.sh at FreeDNS.
16. Use cyon.ch
You only need to set your cyon.ch login credentials.
If you also have 2 Factor Authentication (OTP) enabled, you need to set your secret token too and have oathtool
installed.
export CY_Username="your_cyon_username"
export CY_Password="your_cyon_password"
export CY_OTP_Secret="your_otp_secret" # Only required if using 2FA
To issue a cert:
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_cyon -d example.com -d www.example.com
The CY_Username
, CY_Password
and CY_OTP_Secret
will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf
and will be reused when needed.
17. Use Domain-Offensive/Resellerinterface/Domainrobot API
You will need your login credentials (Partner ID+Password) to the Resellerinterface, and export them before you run acme.sh
:
export DO_PID="KD-1234567"
export DO_PW="cdfkjl3n2"
Ok, let's issue a cert now:
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_do -d example.com -d www.example.com
18. Use Gandi LiveDNS API
You must enable the new Gandi LiveDNS API first and the create your api key, See: http://doc.livedns.gandi.net/
export GANDI_LIVEDNS_KEY="fdmlfsdklmfdkmqsdfk"
Ok, let's issue a cert now:
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_gandi_livedns -d example.com -d www.example.com
19. Use Knot (knsupdate) DNS API to automatically issue cert
First, generate a TSIG key for updating the zone.
keymgr tsig generate acme_key algorithm hmac-sha512 > /etc/knot/acme.key
Include this key in your knot configuration file.
include: /etc/knot/acme.key
Next, configure your zone to allow dynamic updates.
Dynamic updates for the zone are allowed via proper ACL rule with the update
action. For in-depth instructions, please see Knot DNS's documentation.
acl:
- id: acme_acl
address: 192.168.1.0/24
key: acme_key
action: update
zone:
- domain: example.com
file: example.com.zone
acl: acme_acl
Finally, make the DNS server and TSIG Key available to acme.sh
export KNOT_SERVER="dns.example.com"
export KNOT_KEY=`grep \# /etc/knot/acme.key | cut -d' ' -f2`
Ok, let's issue a cert now:
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_knot -d example.com -d www.example.com
The KNOT_SERVER
and KNOT_KEY
settings will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf
and will be reused when needed.
20. Use DigitalOcean API (native)
You need to obtain a read and write capable API key from your DigitalOcean account. See: https://www.digitalocean.com/help/api/
export DO_API_KEY="75310dc4ca779ac39a19f6355db573b49ce92ae126553ebd61ac3a3ae34834cc"
Ok, let's issue a cert now:
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_dgon -d example.com -d www.example.com
21. Use ClouDNS.net API
You need to set the HTTP API user ID and password credentials. See: https://www.cloudns.net/wiki/article/42/
export CLOUDNS_AUTH_ID=XXXXX
export CLOUDNS_AUTH_PASSWORD="YYYYYYYYY"
Ok, let's issue a cert now:
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_cloudns -d example.com -d www.example.com
22. Use Infoblox API
First you need to create/obtain API credentials on your Infoblox appliance.
export Infoblox_Creds="username:password"
export Infoblox_Server="ip or fqdn of infoblox appliance"
Ok, let's issue a cert now:
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_infoblox -d example.com -d www.example.com
Note: This script will automatically create and delete the ephemeral txt record.
The Infoblox_Creds
and Infoblox_Server
will be saved in ~/.acme.sh/account.conf
and will be reused when needed.
Use custom API
If your API is not supported yet, you can write your own DNS API.
Let's assume you want to name it 'myapi':
- Create a bash script named
~/.acme.sh/dns_myapi.sh
, - In the script you must have a function named
dns_myapi_add()
which will be called by acme.sh to add the DNS records. - Then you can use your API to issue cert like this:
acme.sh --issue --dns dns_myapi -d example.com -d www.example.com
For more details, please check our sample script: dns_myapi.sh
Use lexicon DNS API
