ECS Enterprise Self-Service: Adding a Domain from Microsoft Windows Server 2012
How to register a new domain and perform an automatic DNS Validation in you ECS Enterprise account
Requirements:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2012
- DNS Server has been setup and function properly
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 Windows Server 2012
1. Login to your DNS server as administrator.
2. Launch the DNS Management Console. Select Server Manager>DNS . Right Click on your Server name and select DNS Manager .
3. On the DNS Manager window, expand your DNS name. Then expand your Forward Lookup Zones . There you should see your domain name zone. In this example :entrustcertlab.com
4. Right click on your domain name and select Other New Records to add a new TXT record.
Scroll down and select Text (TXT) and click Create Record button.
5. Create your TXT 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:
Format:
| Record Name: |
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. |
| Fully qualified domain name (FQDN): | Auto populated |
| Text: | Random value from your token information. Example: 261E-8A0A-3A93-2AD2-FA05-153E-86D8-23F1 |
Click OK to save your new record and Done button to go back to DNS Manager screen.
6. Your TXT record will now show up in your zone records.
Your TXT record has been added.
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.
