Network Wiki - No Updatekey in LuCI Proto 6-in-4

From: https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/network

Name Type Required Default Description)
password string no (none) (strikethrough removed) HE.net password (used for endpoint update)
updatekey string no (none) HE.net updatekey, overrides password (used for endpoint update)

Looking at proto_6in4.lua, I do not see an updatekey.

HE uses password only if updatekey is configured, otherwise updatekey should be used instead. I think updatekey can be removed from the wiki.

Apparently the luci interface doesn't support updatekey, but it's used in /lib/netifd/proto/6in4.sh if you configure it using uci.

I'm not sure how that would work (perhaps to remain backwards compatible with the value updatekey in configs):

  • Values used in configs MUST be identical in all locations
  • The values password and updatekey are interchangeable as credentials
  • If an updatekey is set at Tunnelbroker, that is used for Tunnel Updates instead of the account password.

Only the value password is needed.

I am currently using my key as password in LuCI. It works!


        option tunnelid 'xxxxxxx'       
        option username 'xxxxxxx'               
        option password 'xxxxxxx'
