VitalQIP Product Description
Features
3.17 Ability to Change DNS Options on Multiple Domains Simultaneously
VitalQIP software allows the administrator to pick multiple zones (domains/reverse zones) and specify a
set of DNS options that will be applied to all those zones without having to open each domain
individually. The ability to modify multiple domains simultaneously can greatly reduce operational
expenses of configuring the network.
3.18 Push to Remote Server
VitalQIP software removes database dependency from remote servers. A new remote server configuration
mechanism has been implemented to eliminate database communication between Remote and Enterprise
Servers. With VitalQIP software, each Remote Server runs as a service. This service can transfer entire
configuration files that are generated by the database, and load them onto the Remote Server. This new
functionality reduces overall traffic and improves file generation times for the remote servers.
Configuration options are added to allow for data compression, encryption, and authentication.
3.19 Enhanced Go To/Search For Fully Qualified Domain Names
VitalQIP administrators can indicate whether go to/search results should utilize FQDNs (Fully Qualified
Domain Names) or relative host names. This facilitates locating an object, which has a common host
name in many different domains. This enhancement to the Go To/Search feature also reports FQDN
results when required.
3.20 ACL Policy templates
VitalQIP supports the ability for an administrator to more easily enter access control lists for BIND 8 and
BIND 9 DNS servers in named.conf. Also, administrators can assign ACLs to specific DNS servers. The
screen shot below on the left illustrates the creation of the ACL template, whereby networks, IP hosts or
addresses can be associated with a template, while the screen shot on the right illustrates the assignment
of a set of templates to a particular DNS server zone.
3.21 Login Service Authentication Callout
VitalQIP Administrator's logins can be authenticated with third party authentication services such as
Radius. VitalQIP supports the ability to authenticate administrators though a "callout" by providing login
ID, password, database, and product type to be authenticated and then only providing access to the
VitalQIP administrative GUI after successful authentication. The callout return provides the ability to
change the login name for added database access security and to customize the failure result message,
e.g., instructing the user to contact the help desk.
3.22 Redundant Schedule Service
Schedule Service redundancy has been implemented in VitalQIP to provide a high level of fault tolerance.
With VitalQIP, the Schedule service can be configured to execute on multiple servers. When configuring
multiple Schedule Services, an improvement in throughput of scheduled tasks can be achieved. Also,
with VitalQIP the services and the user interfaces can provide failover to replicated databases without
administrative intervention. This feature also allows for the ability to prevent user and service access to
the database during planned maintenance by setting a global database state.
