Update DNS API credentials for DNS verification

[pskacel]

Hello, our domain on Active24 was recently transfered to the new API, which is already implemented in current acme.sh version.

However, I am struggling with the procedure to migrate from the old API to the new one on an already running acme.sh installation.

I have updated the utility using ./acme.sh --upgrade.
Old API was ACTIVE24_Token. So i have added new api key and secret using export Active24_ApiKey='MyKey' and then export Active24_ApiSecret='MySecret'. (i have also tried manually deleting the old ACTIVE24_Token from account.conf)

Then I thought that maybe I should issue a new certificate instead of renewing the existing one, so I ran: ./acme.sh --issue --dns dns_active24 -d my.domain.cz --dnssleep 120 --force.
However the utility reports my.domain.cz is already verified, skipping dns-01. Also the credentials are not being stored in account.conf like the previous ACTIVE24_Token.

Does anyone have advice on how to update the API credentials and test the renewal with the new ones?

Please upgrade to the latest code and try again first. Maybe it's already fixed. acme.sh --upgrade If it's still not working, please provide the log with --debug 2, otherwise, nobody can help you.

Only solution i have found so far was on server that was already due to renew the cert. On that server, it was enough to perform just these steps:

./acme.sh --upgrade
export Active24_ApiKey='MyKey'
export Active24_ApiSecret='MySecret'
./acme.sh --renew-all

The API key and secret were stored in account.conf and the DNS-01 challenge completed succesfully.

However, i would like to prepare all acme.sh instances in advance.

Should i just manually put the key and secret in account.conf as bellow?

SAVED_Active24_ApiKey='generatedAPIkey'
SAVED_Active24_ApiSecret='generatedAPIsecret'

For anyone facing the same issue, the only workaround I have found is to create a dummy certificate against the provider’s staging server and then delete it. I’m sharing the commands I used below. If anyone has an easier solution, I’d be glad to hear it.

./acme.sh --upgrade
export Active24_ApiKey='generatedAPIkey'
export Active24_ApiSecret='generatedAPIsecret'
./acme.sh --test --issue --dns dns_active24 -d test.domain.cz --dnssleep 5
./acme.sh --remove -d test.domain.cz
rm -r test.domain.cz_ecc
./acme.sh --info
