# Katapult DNS Provider

This is a drop-in provider for ApisCP (opens new window) to enable DNS support for accounts that use Katapult (opens new window). This provider is built into ApisCP.

# Configuring

EditDomain -c dns,provider=katapult -c dns,key=Ku83HzcXaz domain.com

Where the "key" is created within Katapult. See Katapult API Reference (opens new window) for more information.

# Organizations

Keys may be attached to multiple organizations. ApisCP will use the first valid organization when determining where to create the zone. This can be overridden by specifying 'token' and 'org' fields:

EditDomain -c dns,provider=katapult -c dns,provider='[token:Ku83HzcXaz,org:org_AmJ024]' domain.com

# Setting as default

Katapult may be configured as the default provider for all sites using the dns.default-provider Scope (opens new window). When adding a site in Nexus or AddDomain (opens new window) the key will be replaced with "DEFAULT". This is substituted automatically on account creation.

In a multi-user environment, Keyring usage is necessary to protect users from accessing the password. When setting this value using the dns.default-provider-key in 3.2.42+, this value is automatically encoded as a Keyring value. Automatic wrapping as a Keyring object may be altered by changing [auth] => keyring_provider_types.

cpcmd scope:set dns.default-provider katapult
# Note, this method is insecure prior to 3.2.42, see below!
cpcmd scope:set dns.default-provider-key Ku83HzcXaz'

WARNING

Note that it is not safe to set this value directly in config.ini as a server-wide default in untrusted multiuser environments. A user with panel access can retrieve your key common_get_service_value dns key or even using Javascript in the panel, apnscp.cmd('common_get_service_value',['dns','key'], {async: false}).

Implicit Keyring encoding masks the actual value using a server secret.

# Components

# Minimal module methods

All module methods can be overwritten. The following are the bare minimum that are overwritten for this DNS provider to work:

  • atomicUpdate() attempts a record modification, which must retain the original record if it fails
  • zoneAxfr() returns all DNS records
  • add_record() add a DNS record
  • remove_record() removes a DNS record
  • get_hosting_nameservers() returns nameservers for the DNS provider
  • add_zone_backend() creates DNS zone
  • remove_zone_backend() removes a DNS zone
