Features and Improvements
1. General features
- The temporary folder (previously ‘/tmp’) for all components (Application Server, BPE, Jetty) can now be set by configuration. For details of configuration settings please refer to documentation.
- Configurable waiting period before zones are deleted from name servers. In all use cases where zones are deleted from name servers (deletion of domains, outgoing transfers, change of name servers). In order to use the feature an update of the RNS agents to Version 6.1.20 is necessary.
- Parallel zone edits are now also possible for the following use case: A delete or expire order was started and the order is waiting for confirmation
- It is now possible to create zones with a customer primary and auto name servers as slaves
2. Validation of resource records:
- The strictness of record validation can be set by configuration. Configuration details: http://doc.dnsxperts.de/doku.php?id=domain_zone_management:domain_resource_records#configuration
- The validation of domain names executed according to RFC: ASCII characters (whithout whitespaces, control characters), length is checked.
- System allows now PTR records with identical names.
3. SOAP API
- The SOAP API now offers the feature “conversion of special characters”. If enabled, special characters in contact data are converted to ASCII characters, when NIC policies do not allow special characters. The feature can be enabled on a per-customer base.
- The SOAP API request CustomerInfo returns now only the number of domains for a customer. A list of domains can be retrieved by the CustomerDomainInventory request.
4. Usability and GUI
- Link to “order data” removed from context menu in domain inventory
- Several minor GUI optimizations
- Additional Search filter for availability check
- Whois panel: scrolling of pannel without scrolling of background page
- Improved validation of e-mail addresses in contacts
5. Order Processing
- DomiNIC now sends a mail to back office when a NIC sends a notification about deleted name servers (hosts) and the name servers are still assigned to an active domain in DomiNIC
- Core: notifications about system shutdown are ignored
