Hi Michael,

I have defined a key in named.conf:

|key "acme-dns01" { algorithm hmac-sha256; secret "+m8fujTWD3qb0LkJFP7HPCZAbLlWBMtwtbNPEkvAt7E="; };|

Your key algorithm is hmac-sha256, but see below...

[snip]

I'm using the key in a |grant| (but this doesn't really matter):

|update-policy { grant acme-dns01 zonesub txt; };|

When I try to make use of the "key:secret" using |nsupdate|, it is sent as expected:

|;; TSIG PSEUDOSECTION: acme-dns01. 0 ANY TSIG hmac-md5.sig-alg.reg.int. 1705509748 300 16 tcU/8lYs1VEPZfcM5C3hZw== 13850 NOERROR 0 |

But I get a |BADKEY| in the response, which means that the key is unknown <https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/v9.16.42/advanced.html#errors>.

Note the hmac-md5 there. You need to precede the key with hmac-sha256, without which, nsupdate defaults to hmac-md5 (documented in the nsupdate man page).
