Chapter 41. Adding host entries from the Web UI

Procedure

1. Open the Identity tab, and select the Hosts subtab.
2. Click Add at the top of the hosts list.

3. Enter the machine name and select the domain from the configured zones in the drop-down list. If the host has already been assigned a static IP address, then include that with the host entry so that the DNS entry is fully created.

   The Class field has no specific purpose at the moment.

   DNS zones can be created in IdM.

   If the IdM server does not manage the DNS server, the zone can be entered manually in the menu area, like a regular text field.

   Note

   Select the Force checkbox if you want to skip checking whether the host is resolvable via DNS.

4. Click the Add and Edit button to go directly to the expanded entry page and enter more attribute information. Information about the host hardware and physical location can be included with the host entry.
