Prerequisites

Before you install and configure the DNS service, you must create service credentials and API endpoints.

1. Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:

   $ source admin-openrc

2. To create the service credentials, complete these steps:

   • Create the designate user:

     $ openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt designate

   • Add the admin role to the designate user:

     $ openstack role add --project service --user designate admin

   • Create the designate service entities:

     $ openstack service create --name designate --description "DNS" dns

3. Create the DNS service API endpoint:

   $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
     dns public http://controller:9001/
