infoblox_zone_auth Resource

The infoblox_zone_auth resource enables you to perform the create, update, and delete operations on the forward-mapping and reverse-mapping authoritative zones in a NIOS appliance. The resource represents the ‘zone_auth’ WAPI object in NIOS.

The following table describes the parameters you can define in the infoblox_zone_auth resource block:

Parameter	Required/Optional	Description

Parameter	Required/Optional	Description
`fqdn`	Required	Specifies the name of the DNS zone in FQDN format. For a reverse mapping zone, specify the IP address in CIDR format. For other zones, specify the value in FQDN format. This value can be in Unicode format. Example: Reverse-mapping zone: `10.1.0.0/24` Forward-mapping zone: `zone1.com` Note that once the zone is created, the zone name (`fqdn`) cannot be updated.
`view`	Optional	Specifies the name of the DNS view in which the zone exists. If a value is not specified, `default` is considered as the DNS view name.
`zone_format`	Optional	Determines the format of the DNS zone. Possible values are: `FORWARD`, `IPV4`, `IPV6`. The default value is `FORWARD`.
`ns_group`	Optional	Specifies the name server group that serves DNS for this zone.
`restart_if_needed`	Optional	Restarts the member service if set to `true`.
`soa_default_ttl`	Optional	Specifies the Time to Live (TTL) value of the SOA record of this zone. This value is the number of seconds that data is cached. The default value is `28800` seconds.
`soa_expire`	Optional	Defines the time, in seconds after which the secondary server stops giving out answers about the zone because the zone data is too old to be useful. The default value is one week. The default value is `2419200` seconds.
`soa_negative_ttl`	Optional	Specifies the negative Time to Live (TTL) value of the SOA record of the zone. It indicates how long a secondary server can cache data for 'Does Not Respond' responses. The default value is `900` seconds.
`soa_refresh`	Optional	Specifies the interval at which a secondary server sends a message to the primary server for a zone to check that its data is current, and to retrieve fresh data if it is not current. The default value is `10800` seconds.
`soa_retry`	Optional	This indicates how long a secondary server must wait before attempting to recontact the primary server after a connection failure between the two servers occurs. The default value is `3600` seconds.
`comment`	Optional	Describes the authoritative DNS zone.
`ext_attrs`	Optional	Specifies the set of NIOS extensible attributes that will be attached to the DNS view.
