Resolver Form
Create a resolver identity: a name, the resolver group it joins, an optional description and the IP binding mode. Saving mints a one-time provisioning token and shows the install command for the resolver host.
Inputs
| Name | Description | Allowed values | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
Name | Unique identity name | Letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores; unique across scanners and resolvers | — |
Resolver group | The DNS vantage point this resolver serves | An existing resolver group | — |
IP binding mode | How strictly the identity is tied to its source address | IP, subnet, ASN or none | IP |
Description | Optional note | Any text | Empty |
Gotchas
- The install command is the standard scanner install command plus --role resolver, which gives the resolver its own system user, state directory, env file and systemd unit — the same host can already run a scanner too, side by side.
- The provisioning token expires in one hour and can be used once; regenerate it from the Resolvers page if it lapses.
