dns-01 acme-dns

acme-dns is a simplified DNS server that allows limited access to your DNS provider to update ACME DNS records. This allows minimization of the attack surface in the event of a compromise.

Setup of acme-dns is outside of the scope of this document and Cert Warden support in general.

Configuration

Once you configure acme-dns, you can add the acme-dns server as a provider in Cert Warden.

As with all providers, domains that should use this provider must be specified. One wildcard provider can be configured with a sole domain of * which will be used if Cert Warden doesn't find a domain name on any other provider.

ACME DNS Server Address

This is the URL to access your acme-dns server (e.g. https://myacmedns.example.com:8880).

ACME DNS Resources

acme-dns configuration involves creating a resource for each domain you intend to validate. You must input information about every resource you want Cert Warden to use.
