I am not an expert nor have I even used this software in question. However...

To use omshell for changing dhcpd.conf, one needs to use a TSIG key.

Did the following:
# dnssec-keygen -a HMAC-MD5 -b 512 -n HOST omapi_key

This appears to be an MD5 encrypted key.

responded with:
Komapi_key.+157+18443

and created the files:
-rw-------   1 root   admin    118 Dec 10 15:42 Komapi_key.+157+18443.key
-rw------- 1 root admin 156 Dec 10 15:42 Komapi_key.+157+18443.private

# cat Komapi_key.+157+18443.private
Private-key-format: v1.2
Algorithm: 157 (HMAC_MD5)
Key: Tq4+Idv4lCBt/zOyXIzZAxYhP3xcsUECEQVXWpTxIfTISCh4B0jwlYWxQs1FfiUYWVNSdTbu1bM0ZzxdIhj0sQ==
Bits: AAA=

# vi /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf
and added the statements

key omapi_key {
algorithm HMAC-MD5;
secret "Tq4+Idv4lCBt/zOyXIzZAxYhP3xcsUECEQVXWpTxIfTISCh4B0jwlYWxQs1FfiUYWVNSdTbu1bM0ZzxdIhj0sQ==";
};
omapi-key omapi_key;

Then I started dhcpd,  but it immediatly complains :
Starting dhcpd
...
/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf: line 10: invalid base 64 character 10

This seems to want a base64 encrypted key.
secret "Tq4+Idv4lCBt/zOyXIzZAxYhP3xcsUECEQVXWpTxIfTISCh4B0jwlYWxQs1FfiUYWVNSdTbu
1bM0ZzxdIhj0sQ==";
       ^
/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf: line 12: Expecting a parameter or declaration

What exactly does one have to specify on the 'secret' line ??
The manual for omshell or dnssec-keygen don't have examples...

Please a real life example with all the relevant information ...

Sorry, I don't have any examples. However I suggest re-reading the docs and looking for specifics on key encryption. That might be the "key" to your success. :)

Cheers,

Drew
