If your site has a CAA record enabled, it may necessitate an extra step during the SSL certificate validation process.

How to Check Your CAA Record:

To determine if your domain has a CAA record, you can use the following tool: https://dnschecker.org/#CAA/

Resolving CAA Record Issues:

If you’re encountering issues related to CAA records when validating your SSL certificate, follow the detailed guide provided by AWS: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/troubleshooting-caa.html

Recommended CAA Records for AWS:

To avoid potential issues, you might need to add specific CAA records if you’re using AWS. Here are the recommended CAA records to add to your DNS registrar:

  • amazon.com
  • amazontrust.com
  • awstrust.com
  • amazonaws.com

By adding these records, you authorize AWS services to request and renew SSL certificates for your domain, ensuring a smoother validation process.
