--- title: "Akamai EdgeDNS" date: 2019-03-03T16:39:46+01:00 draft: false slug: edgedns --- Since: v3.9.0 Akamai edgedns supersedes FastDNS; implementing a DNS provider for solving the DNS-01 challenge using Akamai EdgeDNS - Code: `edgedns` Here is an example bash command using the Akamai EdgeDNS provider: ```bash AKAMAI_CLIENT_SECRET=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890ABCDEFG= \ AKAMAI_CLIENT_TOKEN=akab-mnbvcxzlkjhgfdsapoiuytrewq1234567 \ AKAMAI_HOST=akab-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.luna.akamaiapis.net \ AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN=akab-1234567890qwerty-asdfghjklzxcvtnu \ lego --email myemail@example.com --dns edgedns --domains my.example.org run ``` ## Credentials | Environment Variable Name | Description | |-----------------------|-------------| | `AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN` | Access token | | `AKAMAI_CLIENT_SECRET` | Client secret | | `AKAMAI_CLIENT_TOKEN` | Client token | | `AKAMAI_HOST` | API host | The environment variable names can be suffixed by `_FILE` to reference a file instead of a value. More information [here](/lego/dns/#configuration-and-credentials). ## Additional Configuration | Environment Variable Name | Description | |--------------------------------|-------------| | `AKAMAI_POLLING_INTERVAL` | Time between DNS propagation check. Default: 15 seconds | | `AKAMAI_PROPAGATION_TIMEOUT` | Maximum waiting time for DNS propagation. Default: 3 minutes | | `AKAMAI_TTL` | The TTL of the TXT record used for the DNS challenge | The environment variable names can be suffixed by `_FILE` to reference a file instead of a value.
