Package: certbot-plugin-edgedns
AkamaiEdge DNSAuthenticator plugin for Certbot.This plugin automates the process of completing adns-01challenge by creating, and subsequently removing, TXT records
using the Akamai Edge DNS.Configuration of EdgeDNSThe Akamai Edge DNS certbot plugin utilizes the AkamaiOPEN Edge DNS API. To facilitate access, the plugin uses the standard Akamai OPEN credentials file, .edgerc.
By default, This file is typically located in your HOME directory.The Akamai OPEN credentials file location, and the section, must be specified in the certbot credentials file described in the
following sections. Alternatively, The individual Akamai OPEN credential keys and values can be specified in the certbot
credentials file as described in the following sections.To set up your Akamai OPEN CREDENTIALS, and .edgerc file, see theauthorizationandcredentialssections of the Akamai Developer Get Started guide.Installationpip install certbot-plugin-edgednsNamed ArgumentsTo start using DNS authentication for edge DNS, pass the following arguments on
certbot’s command line:--authenticator[certbot-plugin-edgedns:]edgednsselect the authenticator plugin (Required)--[certbot-plugin-edgedns:]edgedns-credentialsAkamai Openedgegrid Auth credentials

is currently imposed for named arguments by certbot versions prior to 1.7.0 for external plugins.)CredentialsAn examplecredentials.inifile using Open Edgegrid keys directly:[certbot_plugin_edgedns:]edgedns_client_token = akab-mnbvcxzlkjhgfdsapoiuytrewq1234567[certbot_plugin_edgedns:]edgedns_access_token = akab-1234567890qwerty-asdfghjklzxcvtnu[certbot_plugin_edgedns:]edgedns_client_secret = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890ABCDEFG=[certbot_plugin_edgedns:]edgedns_host = akab-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.luna.akamaiapis.netAn examplecredentials.inifile using Open Edgegrid .edgerc file:[certbot_plugin_edgedns:]edgedns_edgerc_path = /home/testuser/.edgerc[certbot_plugin_edgedns:]edgedns_edgerc_section = default(Note that the verbose and seemingly redundantcertbot_dns_edgedns:prefix

records the path to this file for use during renewal, but does not store the
file’s contents.CAUTION:You should take proactive steps to protect these API credentials.
Users who can read this file can use these credentials to issue arbitrary API calls
on your behalf. Users who can cause Certbot to run using these credentials can complete
adns-01challenge to acquire new certificates or revoke existing certificates for
associated domains, even if those domains aren’t being managed by this server.Certbot will emit a warning if it detects that the credentials file can be
accessed by other users on your system. The warning reads “Unsafe permissions
on credentials configuration file”, followed by the path to the credentials
file. This warning will be emitted each time Certbot uses the credentials file,
including for renewal, and cannot be silenced except by addressing the issue
(e.g., by using a command likechmod 600to restrict access to the file).ExamplesTo acquire a single certificate for bothexample.comand*.example.com, waiting 900 seconds for DNS propagation:certbotcertonly\--csr./example.com.pem\--authenticatorcertbot-plugin-edgedns:edgedns\--certbot-plugin-edgedns:edgedns-credentials/etc/letsencrypt/.secrets/domain.tld.ini\--certbot-plugin-edgedns:edgedns-propagation-seconds900\--serverhttps://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory\--agree-tos\--rsa-key-size4096\-d'example.com'\-d'*.example.com'DockerIn order to create a docker container with a certbot-dns-edgedns installation,
create an empty directory with the followingDockerfile:FROMcertbot/certbotRUNpipinstallcertbot-plugin-edgednsProceed to build the image:docker build -t certbot/edgedns .Once that’s finished, the application can be run as follows:docker run --rm \
   -v /var/lib/letsencrypt:/var/lib/letsencrypt \
   -v /etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt \
   --cap-drop=all \
   certbot/edgedns certonly \

   --keep-until-expiring --non-interactive --expand \
   --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory \
   -d example.com -d '*.example.com'It is strongly suggested that the folder be secured by taking the following steps:chown root:root /etc/letsencrypt/.secretschmod 600 /etc/letsencrypt/.secrets
