Limit virtual subserver creation

Submitted by RedKnot on Fri, 08/31/2012 - 06:41

I'm not sure how to create the following restrictions.

I would like to allow aliasses to be any domain.

foo.com could be an alias of bar.nl, foo.bar.nl could be an alias of bar.nl also.

I would like to restrict subservers to be in the parent domain.

foo.bar.nl could be a subserver of bar.nl. foo.com should not be a subserver of bar.nl

Thanks, Martijn

Hmm, to my knowledge there isn't a way to do that, and I've poked around a bit without being able to find an option to do that.

However, Jamie would be able to confirm that.

Jamie, is it possible to set it so that only the user with the example.com domain can create sub.example.com Sub-Servers?

No, you can't do that currently - the closest you can get is limiting users to only being able to create sub-servers and aliases under their top-level virtual server. This can be done at Administration Options -> Edit Owner Limits, and can also be set at the plan level.

Isn't there a switch to disallow sub-servers whose domain name is not under the parent server domain?

Just found it: In the Account Plans, there is "Allow sub-servers not under this domain?"

Except I'm interpreting Martijn's intention incorrectly. :)

Hi,

I think that option can do the opposite from what I want. I want to force subserver to be under the domain of the parent server (some sort of parent-child relation). And I want aliases to be under different domainnames.

So like this for subservers

foo.com (parent domain) bar.foo.com (subserver) test.foo.com (subserver)

And like this for aliases foo.com (parent domain) foo.net (alias) bar.com (alias)

Thanks, Martijn

Unfortunately there is no option to do exactly what you want - the "allow subservers not under this domain" option can be used to force all domains to be under the parent, but doesn't allow aliases that violate this rule.
