DigiCert also offers a continuous validation service to ensure domains are always ready for issuance of public DigiCert certificates without the need for a DNS connector. To learn more, see Domain validation service.

Add the connector

To add a DNS integration connector in Trust Lifecycle Manager:

  1. In the Trust Lifecycle Manager menu, go to Integrations > Connectors.

  2. Select the Add connector button.

  3. In the DNS integrations section, select the tile for the DNS provider to connect to:

    • If the DNS provider has its own tile, select it.

    • If the provider does not have its own tile, use the Others tile to search for and select the provider by name.

    Complete the Add connector form as described in the following steps.

  4. Enter a friendly Name for this connector.

  5. Select a Business unit for the connector. Only users assigned to this business unit can manage the connector.

  6. Fill in the requested credentials to connect to your DNS account. Required credentials vary by provider.

  7. (Optional) Select the checkbox to Make this the default integration for domain validation purposes. If enabled, any automated systems that do not have a specific DNS integration assigned will use this default integration.

  8. (Optional) Fill out the Assign this DNS integration to your systems section to select specific network appliances, cloud services, or DigiCert agents in your Trust Lifecycle Manager account that should use this DNS integration for domain validation. DigiCert agents can be assigned individually or via agent groups.

  9. Select Add to finish adding the new DNS integration.
