How to use the Loopia Plugin

This plugin works against the Loopia DNS provider. It presumes that you have already set up an account and registered or transferred the domain(s) you are targeting. You will also need to be subscribed to their Advanced DNS product.

Setup

From the customer zone, click API user and then Create API User. Configure an appropriate Username and Password and select Advanced privileges. When complete, open the details for the user you created and select the following privileges:

  • addSubdomain
  • addZoneRecord
  • getDomains
  • getSubdomains
  • getZoneRecords
  • removeSubdomain
  • removeZoneRecord

Keep in mind, the username you selected will end with @loopiaapi and you will need to include the full username@loopiaapi value in the plugin parameters later.

Using the Plugin

The username is used with the LoopiaUser parameter and the password is used with the LoopiaPass SecureString parameter.

Warning

The LoopiaPassInsecure parameter is deprecated and will be removed in the next major module version. If you are using it, please migrate to the Secure parameter set.

$pArgs = @{
    LoopiaUser = 'username@loopiaapi'
    LoopiaPass = (Read-Host 'Password' -AsSecureString)
}
