Primary domain record management

Hinweis

In DigiCert®​​ DNS, managed domains (as seen in the UI) are referred to as primary domains in the documentation. Both terms refer to the same concept.

Overview

This guide provides detailed instructions for primary domain record management, covering a series of targeted actions, including:

Benefits

Primary domain record management is essential for efficient DNS management, offering significant time and effort savings by enabling bulk updates across all records associated with the primary domain. This centralized approach allows changes made at the primary domain level to propagate automatically across linked records and helps identify and resolve DNS issues quickly. By leveraging DigiCert®​​ DNS, users experience improved DNS resolution times, enhanced scalability, and simplified policy enforcement. Centralized management makes updating and maintaining DNS settings easier across all associated records, ensuring consistency, reducing the risk of errors, and leading to smoother DNS operations.

Procedures

Hinweis

This procedure clears two records (arecord and aaaarecord) from a specific primary domain (domain1) created in an earlier procedure.

  5. In the RECORDS tab, select the Record Type checkbox.

  6. Go to Actions > Delete Records.

  7. In the Confirm Deletion dialog, select Confirm.

    A message appears confirming the successful deletion of the records.

Hinweis

This procedure displays the records of a specific primary domain (domain1). The primary domain was previously created here.

To test this function, call this API endpoint: GET /domains/primary/{domainId}/records

  1. Sign in to your DigiCert®​​ DNS account.

  2. From the landing page, go to the left sidebar and select DNS > Domains.

  3. Select the MANAGED DNS tab.

    The table displays all the primary domains associated with the account.

  4. Select the name of the primary domain (for example, domain1) whose records you want to view - see Path 2 for quick filtering.

  5. Select the RECORDS tab.

    The table displays all the records associated with the domain.

  6. Select Columns at the top of the results table, then select all checkboxes to ensure that all record information is displayed.
