ACM certificate DNS validation - guidance

Question

Hello

I have created a certificate for a domain registered under GoDaddy.com

Through https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/dns-validation.html I am following process.

To verify that I own the domain, I need to update DNS records in GoDaddy.com?

Or is it "CNAME record" field for DNS Zone

Please clarify

Accepted Answer

Hello Harsha,

Yes! we need to add the CNAME DNS record which is populated post creating the ACM certificate. Once this CNAME is added at the domain Hosted Zone, ACM will validate the same.

ex.,
Domain Name 	Record Name 	                                                                    Record Type 	        Record Value
example.com 	_a79865eb4cd1a6ab990a45779b4e0b96.example.com. 	CNAME 	     _424c7224e9b0146f9a8808af955727d0.acm-validations.aws.

Considering the above example, you need to add the record as below (Note to remove the tail domain name while adding, else it will add as double)
_a79865eb4cd1a6ab990a45779b4e0b96.example.com
and in the value 
 _424c7224e9b0146f9a8808af955727d0.acm-validations.aws.
