红帽全球峰会6.4. Adding a DNS Forward Zone in the IdM Web UI
Follow this procedure to add a DNS forward zone in the Identity Management (IdM) Web UI.
Do not use forward zones unless absolutely required. Forward zones are not a standard solution, and using them can lead to unexpected and problematic behavior. If you must use forward zones, limit their use to overriding a global forwarding configuration.
When creating a new DNS zone, Red Hat recommends to always use standard DNS delegation using nameserver (NS) records and to avoid forward zones. In most cases, using a global forwarder is sufficient, and forward zones are not necessary.
Prerequisites
- You are logged in to the IdM WebUI as IdM administrator.
- You know the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the DNS server to forward queries to.
Procedure
In the IdM Web UI, select
Network ServicesDNS Forward ZonesDNS.
In the
