This file has a similar structure and syntax to +named\&.conf\&. Statements are enclosed in braces and terminated with a semi\-colon\&. Clauses in the statements are also semi\-colon terminated\&. The usual comment styles are supported: +.PP +C style: /* */ +.PP +C++ style: // to end of line +.PP +Unix style: # to end of line +.PP +rndc\&.conf +is much simpler than +named\&.conf\&. The file uses three statements: an options statement, a server statement and a key statement\&. +.PP +The +\fBoptions\fR +statement contains five clauses\&. The +\fBdefault\-server\fR +clause is followed by the name or address of a name server\&. This host will be used when no name server is given as an argument to +\fBrndc\fR\&. The +\fBdefault\-key\fR +clause is followed by the name of a key which is identified by a +\fBkey\fR +statement\&. If no +\fBkeyid\fR +is provided on the rndc command line, and no +\fBkey\fR +clause is found in a matching +\fBserver\fR +statement, this default key will be used to authenticate the server\*(Aqs commands and responses\&. The +\fBdefault\-port\fR +clause is followed by the port to connect to on the remote name server\&. If no +\fBport\fR +option is provided on the rndc command line, and no +\fBport\fR +clause is found in a matching +\fBserver\fR +statement, this default port will be used to connect\&. The +\fBdefault\-source\-address\fR +and +\fBdefault\-source\-address\-v6\fR +clauses which can be used to set the IPv4 and IPv6 source addresses respectively\&. +.PP +After the +\fBserver\fR +keyword, the server statement includes a string which is the hostname or address for a name server\&. The statement has three possible clauses: +\fBkey\fR, +\fBport\fR +and +\fBaddresses\fR\&. The key name must match the name of a key statement in the file\&. The port number specifies the port to connect to\&. If an +\fBaddresses\fR +clause is supplied these addresses will be used instead of the server name\&. Each address can take an optional port\&. If an +\fBsource\-address\fR +or +\fBsource\-address\-v6\fR +of supplied then these will be used to specify the IPv4 and IPv6 source addresses respectively\&. +.PP +The +\fBkey\fR +statement begins with an identifying string, the name of the key\&. The statement has two clauses\&. +\fBalgorithm\fR +identifies the authentication algorithm for +\fBrndc\fR +to use; currently only HMAC\-MD5 (for compatibility), HMAC\-SHA1, HMAC\-SHA224, HMAC\-SHA256 (default), HMAC\-SHA384 and HMAC\-SHA512 are supported\&. This is followed by a secret clause which contains the base\-64 encoding of the algorithm\*(Aqs authentication key\&. The base\-64 string is enclosed in double quotes\&. +.PP +There are two common ways to generate the base\-64 string for the secret\&. The BIND 9 program +\fBrndc\-confgen\fR +can be used to generate a random key, or the +\fBmmencode\fR +program, also known as +\fBmimencode\fR, can be used to generate a base\-64 string from known input\&. +\fBmmencode\fR +does not ship with BIND 9 but is available on many systems\&. See the EXAMPLE section for sample command lines for each\&. +.SH "EXAMPLE" +.PP +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf + options { + default\-server localhost; + default\-key samplekey; + }; +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.PP +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf + server localhost { + key samplekey; + }; +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.PP +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf + server testserver { + key testkey; + addresses { localhost port 5353; }; + }; +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.PP +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf + key samplekey { + algorithm hmac\-sha256; + secret "6FMfj43Osz4lyb24OIe2iGEz9lf1llJO+lz"; + }; +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.PP +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf + key testkey { + algorithm hmac\-sha256; + secret "R3HI8P6BKw9ZwXwN3VZKuQ=="; + }; +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.PP +In the above example, +\fBrndc\fR +will by default use the server at localhost (127\&.0\&.0\&.1) and the key called samplekey\&. Commands to the localhost server will use the samplekey key, which must also be defined in the server\*(Aqs configuration file with the same name and secret\&. The key statement indicates that samplekey uses the HMAC\-SHA256 algorithm and its secret clause contains the base\-64 encoding of the HMAC\-SHA256 secret enclosed in double quotes\&. +.PP +If +\fBrndc \-s testserver\fR +is used then +\fBrndc\fR +will connect to server on localhost port 5353 using the key testkey\&. +.PP +To generate a random secret with +\fBrndc\-confgen\fR: +.PP +\fBrndc\-confgen\fR +.PP +A complete +rndc\&.conf +file, including the randomly generated key, will be written to the standard output\&. Commented\-out +\fBkey\fR +and +\fBcontrols\fR +statements for +named\&.conf +are also printed\&. +.PP +To generate a base\-64 secret with +\fBmmencode\fR: +.PP +\fBecho "known plaintext for a secret" | mmencode\fR +.SH "NAME SERVER CONFIGURATION" +.PP +The name server must be configured to accept rndc connections and to recognize the key specified in the +rndc\&.conf +file, using the controls statement in +named\&.conf\&. See the sections on the +\fBcontrols\fR +statement in the BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual for details\&. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.PP +\fBrndc\fR(8), +\fBrndc-confgen\fR(8), +\fBmmencode\fR(1), +BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual\&. +.SH "AUTHOR" +.PP +\fBInternet Systems Consortium, Inc\&.\fR +.SH "COPYRIGHT" +.br +Copyright \(co 2000, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2013-2016, 2018, 2019 Internet Systems Consortium, Inc.
