"""
The `~certbot_dns_transip.dns_transip` plugin automates the process of
completing a ``dns-01`` challenge (`~acme.challenges.DNS01`) by creating, and
subsequently removing, TXT records using the transip REST API.
Named Arguments
---------------
======================================== =====================================
``--dns-transip-credentials`` transip Remote API credentials_
INI file. (Required)
``--dns-transip-propagation-seconds`` The number of seconds to wait for DNS
to propagate before asking the ACME
server to verify the DNS record.
(Default: 120)
======================================== =====================================
Credentials
-----------
Use of this plugin requires a configuration file containing transip Remote API
credentials, obtained from your transip account
`https://www.transip.be/cp/account/api/`
.. code-block:: ini
:name: credentials.ini
:caption: Example credentials file:
# transip API credentials used by Certbot
dns_transip_username = myispremoteuser
dns_transip_api_key = transip_api_key
The path to this file can be provided interactively or using the
``--dns-transip-credentials`` command-line argument. Certbot records the path
to this file for use during renewal, but does not store the file's contents.
.. caution::
You should protect these API credentials as you would a password. Users who
can read this file can use these credentials to issue arbitrary API calls on
your behalf. Users who can cause Certbot to run using these credentials can
complete a ``dns-01`` challenge to acquire new certificates or revoke
existing certificates for associated domains, even if those domains aren't
being managed by this server.
Certbot will emit a warning if it detects that the credentials file can be
accessed by other users on your system. The warning reads "Unsafe permissions
on credentials configuration file", followed by the path to the credentials
file. This warning will be emitted each time Certbot uses the credentials file,
including for renewal, and cannot be silenced except by addressing the issue
(e.g., by using a command like ``chmod 600`` to restrict access to the file).
