Currently, the only supported encryption algorithm for TSIG is HMAC-MD5, which is defined in RFC 2104. Once other algorithms are defined for TSIG, applications will need to ensure they select the appropriate algorithm as well as the key when authenticating each other. For instance suitable -<SPAN -CLASS="TYPE" ->key</SPAN -> +<span class="type">key</span> and -<SPAN -CLASS="TYPE" ->server</SPAN -> +<span class="type">server</span> statements would be added to -<TT -CLASS="FILENAME" ->/etc/named.conf</TT -> +<code class="filename">/etc/named.conf</code> so that the name server can associate the appropriate secret key and algorithm with the IP address of the client application that will be using TSIG authentication. SIG(0) uses public key cryptography. To use a SIG(0) key, the public key must be stored in a KEY record in a zone served by the name server. -<B -CLASS="COMMAND" ->nsupdate</B -> +<span><strong class="command">nsupdate</strong></span> does not read -<TT -CLASS="FILENAME" ->/etc/named.conf</TT ->.</P -><P -><B -CLASS="COMMAND" ->nsupdate</B -> +<code class="filename">/etc/named.conf</code>. +</p> +<p> +<span><strong class="command">nsupdate</strong></span> uses the -<VAR -CLASS="OPTION" ->-y</VAR -> +<code class="option">-y</code> or -<VAR -CLASS="OPTION" ->-k</VAR -> +<code class="option">-k</code> option (with an HMAC-MD5 key) to provide the shared secret needed to generate a TSIG record for authenticating Dynamic DNS update requests.
