# [le-challenge-dns](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/le-challenge-dns.js)
| A [Root](https://rootprojects.org) Project |
An extremely simple reference implementation
of an ACME (Let's Encrypt) dns-01 challenge strategy
for [Greenlock](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/greenlock-express.js) v2.7+ (and v3).
```
_acme-challenge.example.com TXT xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx TTL 60
```
* Prints the ACME challenge DNS Host and DNS Key Authorization Digest to the terminal
* (waits for you to hit enter before continuing)
* Let's you know when the challenge as succeeded or failed, and is safe to remove.
Other ACME Challenge Reference Implementations:
* [le-challenge-manual](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/le-challenge-manual.js.git)
* [le-challenge-http](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/le-challenge-http.js.git)
* [**le-challenge-dns**](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/le-challenge-dns.js.git)
## Install
```bash
npm install --save le-challenge-dns@3.x
```
If you have `greenlock@v2.6` or lower, you'll need the old `le-challenge-dns@3.x` instead.
## Usage
```bash
var Greenlock = require('greenlock');
Greenlock.create({
...
, challenges: { 'http-01': require('le-challenge-http')
, 'dns-01': require('le-challenge-dns').create({ debug: true })
, 'tls-alpn-01': require('le-challenge-manual')
}
...
});
```
You can also switch between different implementations by
overwriting the default with the one that you want in `approveDomains()`:
```js
function approveDomains(opts, certs, cb) {
...
if (!opts.challenges) { opts.challenges = {}; }
opts.challenges['dns-01'] = leChallengeDns;
opts.challenges['http-01'] = ...
cb(null, { options: opts, certs: certs });
}
```
NOTE: If you request a certificate with 6 domains listed,
it will require 6 individual challenges.
## Exposed (Promise) Methods
For ACME Challenge:
* `set(opts)`
* `remove(opts)`
The `dns-01` strategy supports wildcards (whereas `http-01` does not).
The options object has whatever options were set in `approveDomains()`
as well as the `challenge`, which looks like this:
```js
{ challenge: {
identifier: { type: 'dns', value: 'example.com'
, wildcard: true
, altname: '*.example.com'
, type: 'dns-01'
, token: 'xxxxxx'
, keyAuthorization: 'xxxxxx.abc123'
, dnsHost: '_acme-challenge.example.com'
, dnsAuthorization: 'xyz567'
, expires: '1970-01-01T00:00:00Z'
}
}
```
For greenlock.js internals:
* `options` stores the internal defaults merged with the user-supplied options
Optional:
* `get(limitedOpts)`
Note: Typically there wouldn't be a `get()` for DNS because the NameServer (not Greenlock) answers the requests.
It could be used for testing implementations, but that's about it.
(though I suppose you could implement it if you happen to run your DNS and webserver together... kinda weird though)
If there were an implementation of Greenlock integrated directly into
a NameServer (which currently there is not), it would probably look like this:
```js
{ challenge: {
type: 'dns-01'
, identifier: { type: 'dns', value: 'example.com' }
, token: 'abc123'
, dnsHost: '_acme-challenge.example.com'
}
}
```
