# PowerDNS Provider
## Configuration
In your credentials file, you must provide your [API URL, API Key and Server ID](https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/http-api/index.html).
In most cases the Server id is `localhost`
{% highlight json %}
{
"powerdns": {
"apiurl": "http://localhost",
"apikey": "your-key",
"servername": "localhost"
}
}
{% endhighlight %}
## Metadata
Following metadata are available:
{% highlight js %}
{
'default_ns': [
'a.example.com.',
'b.example.com.'
],
'dnssec_on_create': false
}
{% endhighlight %}
- `default_ns` sets the nameserver which are used
- `dnssec_on_create` specifies if DNSSEC should be enabled when creating zones
## Usage
Example Javascript:
{% highlight js %}
var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar('none', 'NONE')
var POWERDNS = NewDnsProvider("powerdns", "POWERDNS");
D("example.tld", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(POWERDNS),
A("test","1.2.3.4")
);
{%endhighlight%}
## Activation
See the [PowerDNS documentation](https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/http-api/index.html) how the API can be enabled.
## Caveats
Currently it is only possible to enable DNSSec while creating a new zone.
On-demand activation/deactivation of DNSSec will be added later.
