Before using lego to request a certificate for a given domain or wildcard (such as my.example.org or *.my.example.org),
create a TXT record named _acme-challenge.my.example.org, and enable dynamic updates on it.
Generate a token for each URL with Hurricane Electric’s UI, and copy it down.
Stick to alphanumeric tokens for greatest reliability.
To authenticate with the Hurricane Electric API,
add each record name/token pair you want to update to the HURRICANE_TOKENS environment variable, as shown in the examples.
Record names (without the _acme-challenge. component) and their tokens are separated with colons,
while the credential pairs are concatenated into a comma-separated list, like so:
HURRICANE_TOKENS=my.example.org:token1,demo.example.org:token2If you are issuing both a wildcard certificate and a standard certificate for a given subdomain, you should not have repeat entries for that name, as both will use the same credential.
HURRICANE_TOKENS=example.org:token
