  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

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.
