Algorithm compatibility between BIND 9.6.2 and 9.16

[pvs]

Hello,

I am new to BIND installation and configuration.

We have been using a set of BIND 9.6.2 servers (one is master & other
one is slave) running on Fedora Core 10 with algorithm as 'hmac-md5' 
for transferring zones and other DNS related data between Master-Slave.
These BIND 9.6.2 server set was installed and configured by my
predecessors for the domain 'example.com'(let us say)

Our domain got changed recently to 'example.in' and and i setup newly
released  BIND 9.16 on CentOS 7.6 for this domain as authoritative NS
and is working perfectly without any issues.

For somtime we would like maintain both the domains 'example.com' &
'example.in' and  planning to configure 'example.com' zone as slave in
the new 9.16 server.

I would like to know the support of algorithm 'hmac-md5' in the new
release of BIND 9.16 for making the zone tranfer 'example.com' between
the old master and new slave.

If this algorithm is not supported, please let me know if any work
around is possible to make the new BIND 9.16 as slave to 9.6

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

Hello Vishnu,

I urge you to read the man page of "tsig-keygen". You will find the
answer in there.
