Turris Omnia (OpenWRT) DDNS Problems

[James Marsh]

I've been using zonedit since 2005, however I've recently installed a new router and can no longer update my DDNS records. As part of the process I generated an auth token which I wasn't previously using and changed to updating the @ record rather than a name within the zone.

The OpenWRT script calls:

curl 'https://jmarshj7:AUTHTOKEN@dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=jamesmarsh.net&dnsto=82.20.173.181'

but the result is:

<ERROR CODE="708" TEXT="Failed Login: jmarshj7" ZONE="jamesmarsh.net">

Can you confirm the url being called is constructed correctly? Is this a problem with my account being so old and having been migrated between multiple systems?

I've tried several variations based on other examples found on the web but with each login failure I have to wait 600 seconds to try again which is very frustrating!

Many thanks,
James

Hello James.

Please double check the spelling of your username, when you are logged into cp.zoneedit.com it will show up near the top left with: "Logged in as..." and make sure that matches on your curl line.

Thanks! How embarassing

It's easy to become convinced the problem must be more complex than that and overlook the simplest things. Works fine now!

Many thanks,
James

Hi

"Logged in as..." - hmm, we are having problem with this and DDNS

lets says we have two users.
adminUser and superUser

adminUser created Portfolio and shared it with superUser

superUser can edit all the setting in Portfolio also it can create DYN Authentication Token
but can not use DDNS via dynamic.zoneedit.com


but, when trying to use

https://dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=<your_hostname>&dnsto=<your_ip>


curl 'https://superUser:password_of_superUser@dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=ddns.superdomainUser.com&dnsto=8.8.8.8'
or
curl 'https://superUser:DYN_Authentication_Token@dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=ddns.superdomainUser.com&dnsto=8.8.8.8'

<ERROR CODE="708" TEXT="Failed Login: superUser" ZONE="ddns.superdomainUser.com">

if we use

curl 'https://adminUser:DYN_Authentication_Token@dynamic.zoneedit.com/auth/dynamic.html?host=ddns.superdomainUser.com&dnsto=8.8.8.8'

it work great

<SUCCESS CODE="200" TEXT="ddns.superdomainUser.com updated to 8.8.8.8" ZONE="ddns.superdomainUser.com">
