How register a new domain and perform an automatic DNS Validation in you ECS Enterprise account
A. Registration of the new addition domain to your Entrust Certificate Portal
1. Login to your ECS Enterprise account.
2. On the dashboard click Administrator > Domain Management .
3. Type your new domain name, then select the Client. After that select the verification method to DNS . Click Add to Request button.
4. Click Submit Request button on the corner of the bottom screen.
5. You will see your new domain request has been listed on the Pending domains list. Go to your new addition domain and click on the icon next to Install token to generate your DNS code.
You should see the random value for your DNS Server like the example below.
NOTE: The DNS Entry name and Random value are different from one request to another. Please DO NOT copy the codes or domain example below to your DNS Server.
B. Step by step to add a TXT record into the active DNS zone on FreeDNS
1. Login to your account using your designated credential issued by Afraid.org FreeDNS
2. You will be directed to the dashboard.
3. On the dashboard area, click on Domains link to go to your domain section. Click on Manage (next to the domain name) to open your zone information.
4. Your zone record should be showing on the screen now.
Click on Add to add a New Record. Scroll down the type field to select the option for TXT (Text). Create your record using the Install DNS token information from Section A above.
NOTE : PLEASE DO NOT enter the token information from the sample below, you MUST use the one that issued to you from the steps on section A above.
Example Install DNS Token information:
Enter the information above to your TXT Record.
Subdomain: |
The DNS Entry name from your token information. Example: _pki-validation
Note: You don’t need to copy entire domain name since the root domain has already auto populated on Google Cloud DNS. |
Destination: | Random value from your token information. Example: 91BC-E8C0-E921-A3FE-4760-1593-CFCC-2F3F |
TTL: | Leave it as Automatic |
Click Save! Your new TXT record will be saved and added to your record.
At this point you have registered your domain with automatic DNS validation. As soon as your random value has propagated, the Entrust verification system will automatically capture and approve the domain for use. Note the time this will take will vary, depending on the propagation time of your DNS server.
