Before creating a third-party DNS provider in the Cloud Services Infoblox Portal, you must deploy a host NIOS-X Server and associate the Microsoft Active Directory (AD) Sync service with it.

• For the procedure for creating a hostNIOS-X Server, see Deploying Hosts for BloxOne NIOS-X Servers for Universal DDI.

• For information about adding the Microsoft AD Sync service, see Creating Services. Associate the newly created host NIOS-X Server with the Microsoft AD Sync service. For information on deploying hostsNIOS-X Servers, see Deploying HostsNIOS-X Servers.

To create a new third-party provider for Microsoft AD, do the following:

1. Go to Manage Configure > Networking > DNS > Third-party DNS Providers.

2. Click Create > Microsoft Active Directory.

3. Configure the following options on the Create Third-party DNS Provider screen:

   • Name: Create a name.

   • Description: Create a description.

   • Credentials: Choose the credentials. Alternatively, click Create New Credentials and configure the following:

     • Name: Create a name.

     • Description: Create a description. Click Next.

     • Configure the following settings on the Microsoft Active Directory Credentials screen:

       • Domain\User Name: Specify the domain name and the user name for the AD server.

       • Password: Specify the password for the AD server.

     • Click Next.

     • Review the configuration settings, and click Save.

   • Active Directory Server: Specify the IP address or FQDN. If you are using the FQDN as the value, make sure the BloxOne host NIOS-X Server can resolve it.

   • Service Instance: Choose the Microsoft AD Sync service’s instance you want to associate with the third-party DNS provider.

   • Sync Interval (min): Specify the sync interval, in minutes. The default value is 180 minutes. If you have a large amount of data, we recommend setting the sync interval to a value between 180 and 1440 minutes (inclusive).

4. Click Next.

5. Review the configuration, and click Save & Close.
