When creating a third-party DNS provider in the Cloud Services Portal, you can use existing or new credentials for it. Your provider of cloud services will use these credentials to connect to the DNS provider. Different third-party DNS providers use credentials in different formats.
To create a new third-party provider and use existing credentials for it, complete the following steps:
Go to Manage > DNS > Third-party DNS Providers.
Click Create > AWS or Microsoft Active Directory.
Configure the following options on the Third-party DNS Provider screen:
Name: Create a name.
Description: Create a description.
Sync State: Select Enabled or Disabled. Selecting Enabled will sync the DNS objects between the Cloud Services Portal and the provider.
Credentials: Choose the credentials.

Active Directory Server: Specify an IPv4 or IPv6 address. Alternatively, specify the FQDN.
