+---------------------------------------

+:manual group: Open Infrastructure
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+| **dehydrated-nsupdate**
+
+Description
+===========
+
+**dehydrated** is a client for ACME-based Certificate Authorities, such as
+LetsEncrypt. It can be used to request and obtain TLS certificates from an
+ACME-based certificate authority.
+
+The **dehydrated-nsupdate** hook implements the dns-01 verification. It is
+typically run together with **dehydrated-hook** as:
+
+| /etc/dehydrated/hook.d/deploy_challenge.nsupdate
+
+| /etc/dehydrated/hook.d/clean_challenge.nsupdate
+
+Features
+========
+
+**dehydrated-nsupdate** has the following features:
+
+| **automatic nameserver detection**
+| **dehydrated-nsupdate** automatically finds and updates all authoritative
+| nameservers for a given record by looking up the records in the DNS by itself.
+
+| **proper CNAME support**
+| **dehydrated-nsupdate** follows CNAMEs delegating the TXT record creation to
+| another zone.
+
+| **handling nameserver subzone shortcuts**
+| **dehydrated-nsupdate** correctly handles authoritative nameserver
+| answers that give shortcut answers for their own zones when using
+| multiple subzones.
+
+| **TSIG support**
+| **dehydrated-nsupdate** uses TSIG, if provided, to authenticate
+| itself to the nameserver.
+
+| **proper removal of TXT records**
+| **dehydrated-nsupdate** removes records after succesfull verification.
+
+| **bind9-dnsutils and knot-dnsutils support*
+| **dehydrated-nsupdate** works with both nsupdate (bind9) and knsupdate (knot).
+
+Files
+=====
+
+The following files are used:
+
+/etc/dehydrated/tsig.key:
+ default location for the TSIG key to be used.
+
+/etc/default/dehydrated-nsupdate, /etc/default/dehydrated-nsupdate.d/*:
+ configuration file, currently only used for TSIG_KEYFILE variable pointing
+ to the tsig.key file to be used (default: /etc/dehydrated/tsig.key).
