Configure DNS server

Hello,

Today I have a server that is not part of my domain, but is in my IP Range, I need it to resolve an address https://plm.group.com/Windchill for server 192.168.20.2 to work https how do I do it inside the DNS server / DNS Database?

hi,

try following this guide, https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.2.11/administration-guide/960561 .

you would need a address (A) dns entry for you server.

yes you would need an a record for plm.group.com . The rest is a path on that server. 

However this has some caveats I ran into once:

 

First this will only work if your clients use the FortiGate as DNS Server.

Secondly FGT has to be authoritative DNS for the Domain.

Unfortunately this makes everything else on that domain unresolvable for your clients unless you manually add it to the zone on the FortiGate. 

 

So take care!
