Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) records stand for DNS entries for specific domains<\/a>. In this framework, authorized CAs get the power to provide usage access, which helps in limiting unlawful activities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple Steps to Add CAA Records<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To configure CAA records, you can proceed with the following straightforward steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Accessing DNS Zone Editor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Account Login > Access DNS Zone Editor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Select CAA under Record Type<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Manage DNS records section > Choose the CAA option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selecting the Right Values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you start adding or editing the CAA records, ensure you enter the correct values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Name (Host)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Main Domain: Use @.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Subdomains: Use store.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    – Flag<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Default: 0.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Use 1 to block validation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      – Tag<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      – Issue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      It gives authorization to CA to issue a certificate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      – issuewild<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      It enables CA to issue a wildcard certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      – iodef<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Using this URL, CA can submit its reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Use the above tags to set the necessary settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      – CA Domain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Mention the Certificate Authority (CA). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      – TTL (Time To Live)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Keep default values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      CAA Records: Addition & Deletion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      You should maintain consistency with CAA records. It is advisable to set them to default values without any change. When you delete any record, it could halt SSL certificate configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Record Updating:<\/strong> Search the TXT record > click edit icon > adjust the value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Record Deletion:<\/strong> Search the TXT record > select delete <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        When you complete an addition or update in your DNS zone settings, it is recommended to wait for 24 hours for successful DNS propagation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
