check-creds

check-creds

This is a stand-alone utility to help verify entries in creds.json.

The command does a trivial operation to verify credentials. If successful, a list of zones will be output (which may be an empty list). If the credentials or other problems prevent this operation from executing, the exit code will be non-zero and hopefully verbose error messages will be output.

Syntax:

   dnscontrol check-creds [command options] credkey

   --creds value   Provider credentials JSON file (default: "creds.json")
   --out value     Instead of stdout, write to this file

ARGUMENTS:
   credkey:  The name used in creds.json

The provider type is read from the TYPE field in creds.json.

Examples

dnscontrol check-creds my_route53

This command is the same as get-zones with --format=nameonly

Developer Note

This command is not implemented for all providers.

To add this to a provider, implement the get-zones subcommand.
