• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Question XML API adding SRV record

TobiasP

Regular Pleskian
Hi,
could you please provide me with an example for adding a SRV DNS record with the XML Api?

This does not work:
<packet>
<dns>
<add_rec>
<site-id>232</site-id>
<type>SRV</type>
<host>_sip</host>
<value>sipdir.online.lync.com.</value>
<opt><srv protocol="_tls" port="443" priority="100" weight="1" /></opt>
</add_rec>
</dns>
</packet>

the returned error is:
<errcode>1014</errcode>
<errtext>Parser error: Request is invalid. Error in line 8: Element 'opt': Element content is not allowed, because the type definition is simple.</errtext>

the documentation (Adding DNS Record)
is not very helpful, it provides examples for all the trivial DNS records but not for the one that has the most extras.

Thanks in advance!
 
Hi,

Sadly their documentation on this isn't quite correct, here's an example for you or anyone else that comes across this problem:-

<dns>
<add_rec>
<site-id>217</site-id>
<type>SRV</type>
<host>_autodiscover._tcp</host>
<value>provider.domain.tld.</value>
<opt>5 25 443</opt>
</add_rec>
</dns>

the opt order is priority, weight, port.
