DirectAdmin for libdns

This package implements the libdns interfaces for DirectAdmin, allowing you to manage DNS records.

Authenticating

This package supports API Login Keys for authentication.

To create a key select Login Keys from the top right dropdown menu:

From the Login Keys page select Create Key

You will need to create a login key with the following settings:

• Key Name
  • Select Descriptive Name
• Expires On
  • You can set this to whatever you need, but "Never" is likely the best option
• Clear Key
  • Unchecked
• Allow HTM
  • Unchecked
• Commands To Allow
  • CMD_API_SHOW_DOMAINS
  • CMD_API_DNS_CONTROL

The CMD_API_SHOW_DOMAINS permission is needed to get the zone ID, the CMD_API_DNS_CONTROL permission is obviously necessary to edit the DNS records.

If you're only using the GetRecords() method, you can remove the CMD_API_DNS_CONTROL permission to guarantee no changes will be made.
