[Kea-users] DDNS for Migration to Kea

[LIU Chris]

Classified as: {OPEN}

I am migrating to kea from old dhcp.

My old dhcp configuration file, ddns part is based on the
https://linux.die.net/man/5/dhcpd.conf

Dynamic Dns Updates
(1)    I can not find kea ddns update Scheme to select.
My old dhcp conf:
ddns-update-style interim;   // here I can configure  ad_hoc/interim/dhcp_standard/

however, I cannot find the corresponded configuration in kea with JSON format

(2)     for DDNS, I also configure the Dynamic Dns Update Security as below, I cannot find it in Kea.
key rndc-key {
    algorithm hmac-md5
    secret test;
}
# Zones declartions.
zone test_1 {
    primary 172.22.144.1;
    secondary 10.168.1.1;
}
For Kea, https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/kea-2.4.0/arm/dhcp4-srv.html
Section:   8.2.19. DDNS for DHCPv4

I can configure server-ip, but I cannot find the key-algorithm and secret.
