DomiNIC Release 8.5.0

Important: Release 8.5.0 requires NIC-Container 10.0 or higher. This version of DomiNIC requires at least Java 11 (Java 11 or 17 LTS are recommended)

Introducing a new feature to DomiNIC – Bulk Domain Contact Editing! This latest addition to our domain management toolkit offers enhanced efficiency and ease for users when managing contact data for multiple domains. This feature can also be used to change ownership for multiple domains.

New Features

Bulk editing of domain contacts

Select the domains you want to change in the domain inventory.

DomiNIC checks if bulk editing for the selected domains is possible and if necessary removes domains from the list where contact policies do not match.

Edit contact data for the selected domains and place order.

 

Please not: In Release 8.5.0 there is an issue with Bulk contact editing and DNSSec. We recommend to update to Release 8.5.1, where this issue is resolved.

New GUI Themes and functions for customization

Version 8.5.0 brings a range of fresh features designed to improve user experience. It includes two new pre-installed themes, allowing easy alignment of DomiNIC with your company’s style. The addition of a color customization function further facilitates adaptation to your company’s branding. Notably, the introduction of a light/dark toggle provides users with a convenient option they’re likely to find appealing.

DomiNIC 8.5.0 introduces 2 new themes.

The new “Sidebar” theme optimizes screen space for efficient usage.

The new “rounded” theme features a fresh and contemporary design.

Color customization for themes

All pre-installed themes provide color customization options, allowing clients to align the appearance with their corporate style.

Light/Dark Theme Toggle for all pre-installed themes

Users have the option to toggle between light and dark modes for the Graphical User Interface

Management page for user-defined fields

User-defined fields allow our clients to define additional data fields for domains, certificates, orders and customers. These fields can be used to enter/preallocate and store contract data, product details, or technical data. The new management page enables DomiNIC administrators to create and manage these fields. It offers configuration options for all field details, such as field type, display format, and input validation settings.

Support for Akamai Edge DNS

Akamai Edge DNS provides highly secure premium  DNS services. DomiNIC users now have the option to choose this service in addition to our existing connection to RCode Zero DNS.
