Akamai edgedns supersedes FastDNS; implementing a DNS provider for solving the DNS-01 challenge using Akamai EdgeDNS

  • Code: edgedns
  • Since: v3.9.0

Here is an example bash command using the Akamai EdgeDNS provider:

AKAMAI_CLIENT_SECRET=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890ABCDEFG= \
AKAMAI_CLIENT_TOKEN=akab-mnbvcxzlkjhgfdsapoiuytrewq1234567 \
AKAMAI_HOST=akab-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.luna.akamaiapis.net \
AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN=akab-1234567890qwerty-asdfghjklzxcvtnu \
lego --email you@example.com --dns edgedns --domains my.example.org run

Environment Variable Name Description
AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN Access token, managed by the Akamai EdgeGrid client
AKAMAI_CLIENT_SECRET Client secret, managed by the Akamai EdgeGrid client

Akamai's credentials are automatically detected in the following locations and prioritized in the following order:

  1. Section-specific environment variables (where {SECTION} is specified using AKAMAI_EDGERC_SECTION):
  • AKAMAI_{SECTION}_HOST
  • AKAMAI_{SECTION}_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • AKAMAI_{SECTION}_CLIENT_TOKEN
  • AKAMAI_{SECTION}_CLIENT_SECRET
  1. If AKAMAI_EDGERC_SECTION is not defined or is set to default, environment variables:
  • AKAMAI_HOST
  • AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • AKAMAI_CLIENT_TOKEN
  • AKAMAI_CLIENT_SECRET
  1. .edgerc file located at AKAMAI_EDGERC
  • defaults to ~/.edgerc, sections can be specified using AKAMAI_EDGERC_SECTION
  1. Default environment variables:
  • AKAMAI_HOST
  • AKAMAI_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • AKAMAI_CLIENT_TOKEN
