Configure the DNS for the CDN created CNAME for a domain registered by IBM

  • 1.  Configure the DNS for the CDN created CNAME for a domain registered by IBM

    Posted Wed April 06, 2022 09:19 AM

    I have created a static website in an IBM Cloud object storage bucket. Currently it is just the index.html file. I have been unable to configure the DNS for the CDN created CNAME for a domain registered by IBM.

    I have created CDN resources for www.whateversam.com and www.simplesamples.net.

    The domain name whateversam.com is registered by IBM. The CDN status is CNAME configuration required. CentralOps.net shows only about 4 DNS records for it and the domain name is suffixed onto the CNAME.

    The domain name simplesamples.net is registered by Google. The CDN status for it is Running. CentralOps.net shows more than 2 dozen DNS records for it and the domain name is not suffixed onto the CNAME. When I browse to www.simplesamples.net I get an XML file. When I browse to www.simplesamples.net/index.html I get an XML file. So I am almost there, I need to figure out how to configure the default file. If you do not get an XML file when you browse to www.simplesamples.net then I have figured that out.

    So the main problem is that if I register a domain with IBM then I have been unable to configure the DNS. The following is the DNS Zone.

    $ORIGIN whateversam.com.
    $TTL 900
    @ IN SOA ns1.softlayer.com. sam.xxxxxxxx.xxx. (
                           2022040506        ; Serial
                           7200              ; Refresh
                           600               ; Retry
                           1728000           ; Expire
                           3600)             ; Minimum
    
    @                      86400    IN NS    ns1.softlayer.com.
    @                      86400    IN NS    ns2.softlayer.com.
    
    
    www                    900      IN CNAME cdnakacf58pe0sgl.cdn.appdomain.cloud

    How do I configure the DNS when the registrar is IBM?
