+<a name="id2657925"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
+<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>
+<dd><p>
+ 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>
+<dt><span class="term">-z <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em></span></dt>
+<dd><p>
+ 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
+ that <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em>.
+ This option cannot be used with the <code class="option">-s</code> option.
