How To Use the deSEC DNS Plugin

This plugin works against the deSEC DNS provider. It is assumed that you have already setup an account and created the DNS zone(s) you will be working against.

Setup

You may already have an API token from your original registration email. If not, go to the Token Management page and create a new one. The value will only be shown once towards the bottom of the screen. It is not the ID value in the list of tokens.

Using the Plugin

You will need to provide the API token as a SecureString value to DSCToken. There is an optional DSCTTL parameter to use as the TTL of new TXT record. It defaults to 3600 which seems to be the minimum value allowed by the API.

Warning

The DSToken, DSTokenInsecure, and DSTTL parameters have been deprecated because they conflicted with another Posh-ACME plugin. If you are using them, please migrate to the newer parameters as they will be removed in the next major version of the module.
