However, the fix may + cause incompatibility between older and newer versions of + BIND, when using long keys. <span class="command"><strong>isc-hmac-fixup</strong></span> + modifies those keys to restore compatibility. + </p> + <p> + To modify a key, run <span class="command"><strong>isc-hmac-fixup</strong></span> and + specify the key's algorithm and secret on the command line. If the + secret is longer than the digest length of the algorithm (64 bytes + for SHA1 through SHA256, or 128 bytes for SHA384 and SHA512), then a + new secret will be generated consisting of a hash digest of the old + secret.
