# InternetX

https://docs.wisecp.com/en/internetx

Connect InternetX to manage domain orders and AutoDNS records from WISECP services.

## Access the Screen

Open **Products → Domains → Domain Name Registrars → All Modules → InternetX**: `{admin}/module/registrars?module=InternetX`.

## What Is on the Screen

**Module Settings** contains connection and domain defaults. **Import** lists existing domains. This module has no extension price import.

### Prepare AutoDNS Access

1. Obtain an AutoDNS account with domain, contact and zone permissions. If access is restricted by IP, allow your WISECP server's outgoing IP.
2. Confirm your username, password and context using the [authentication documentation](https://help.internetx.com/display/APIXMLEN/Authentication). This module does not send a two-factor token.
3. Request a separate sandbox account from InternetX. Confirm both XML and JSON endpoints for that account; see [AutoDNS testing](https://help.internetx.com/display/APIXMLEN/Demo%2Bmode).
4. Check your balance and extension requirements before live sales. No separate WISECP server record is needed.

## Settings

- ****Server****: Required. The supplied configuration uses https://gateway.autodns.com/. This is the XML connection.
- ****Username****: Required; initially empty. AutoDNS API user.
- ****Password****: Required; initially empty. Password for that user.
- ****Context****: Default 4. AutoDNS uses 1 for demo and 4 for live, or your assigned PersonalAutoDNS context.
- ****Default Nameservers****: Optional multiline field; empty. Its contents are not applied to orders by this module. Use the four shared nameserver fields below.
- ****IP Address****: Optional; empty. Zone A-record address sent with registration or transfer.
- ****MX Record****: Optional; empty. Mail server hostname sent with registration or transfer.
- ****Domain Check URL****: Default https://api.autodns.com/v1/. JSON base URL for availability and DNS zones; keep its trailing slash.
- ****Domain Check Username****: Optional; empty. Falls back to Username.
- ****Domain Check Password****: Optional; empty. Falls back to Password.
- ****Admin Contact****: Disabled by default. This option does not change contact assignment in the current module; check all four service contacts.
- ****Sandbox / Test Mode****: Disabled by default. Switches only XML to https://demo.autodns.com/gateway/. Context, JSON URL and credentials do not change automatically.
- ****Disable SSL Verification****: Disabled by default; keep it disabled. Applies to the XML gateway. Repair certificate or CA errors instead of disabling verification.
- ****Default Nameservers****: Four initially empty shared fields. The first two have required markers; review the service's final nameservers before ordering.

## Tasks

### Connect and Test

1. In **Module Settings**, enter the sandbox credentials, context and both endpoint settings. Enable **Sandbox / Test Mode**.
2. Click **Test Connection** at the bottom. It requests XML details for test.com and accepts “Domain could not be found”; it purchases nothing.
3. Click **Save Changes**, then reopen the form. This test does not validate JSON availability, DNS access or purchasing permissions.
4. Keep test extensions unavailable for sale. Verify sandbox service operations before replacing all environment settings with live values.

### Assign Extensions and Prices

Under **Products → Domains**, select **InternetX** in the extension's **Registrar** field, then click **Update Extensions**. Open the row's **Pricing** window, enter costs and selling prices, and click **Save Changes**. Compare currency and each period with AutoDNS; automatic cost updates are unavailable.

### Import Existing Domains

In **Import**, find the domain, assign its customer and click **Import**. Define its extension first. Check the resulting service, contacts and dates. This creates a WISECP service; it does not transfer the domain between registrars. The provider list request is limited to 9,999 entries.

### Manage Domains

Registration, incoming transfer, renewal and date/status synchronization are implemented. Complete required contacts and registry-specific eligibility information. Confirm pending transfers in AutoDNS before retrying.

Open the domain under **Orders → Services**. **DNS** supports nameserver changes and records in an existing AutoDNS zone. DNS edits replace the zone's record set; record TTL changes are not preserved by this module.

**WHOIS** supports contacts and privacy where the registry permits. Shared contact changes can affect other domains. **Transfer** offers locking and **Get Transfer (EPP) Code**; .de/.eu code retrieval can create new authorization information.

Child nameserver management, DNSSEC, restore, URL forwarding and email forwarding are not implemented here. Customer controls also depend on permissions and purchased addons.

## Things to Consider

> **Environment and Charges**
> 
> The test switch does not isolate JSON operations. Verify both environments before DNS changes. Live registrations, transfers and renewals can incur charges. Premium availability has no purchase price in this module; confirm the amount with InternetX.

> **Troubleshooting**
> 
> Check context, account permissions, IP restrictions and both connection credentials. A successful XML test does not explain an empty DNS list: verify the JSON account and existing zone. Compare renewal dates and billing settings in AutoDNS regularly.

## Required Permissions

Setup requires **Domain Name Registrars** permission. Domain service actions require their corresponding permissions.
