default	Check-Creds subcommand

check-creds

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

The command does a trivia operation to verify credentials. If successful, a list of zones will be output. If not, hopefully you see verbose error messages.

Syntax:

dnscontrol check-creds [command options] credkey provider

--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 (first parameter to NewDnsProvider() in dnsconfig.js) provider: The name of the provider (second parameter to NewDnsProvider() in dnsconfig.js)

EXAMPLES: dnscontrol check-creds myr53 ROUTE53

This command is the same as: dnscontrol get-zones --out=/dev/null myr53 ROUTE53

Developer Note

This command is not implemented for all providers.

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