Validate domains on a pending DV TLS certificate using Persistent DNS TXT record

In CertCentral, go to the certificate's Order # details page.

On the certificate’s Order # details page, in the Certificate status section, check whether the certificate is waiting for domain validation to be completed.

Under What do you need to do, select the Prove control over domains link.

In the Prove control over domain window, in the Domain control validation (DCV) method menu, select Persistent DNS TXT Record and then select Save.

In the Prove control over domain window, go to 3. Add the DigiCert-provided persistent URI.

For DV certificates, CertCentral only supports the Account URI.

The Account URI lets you use the same persistent URI to validate any domain on the order and in your CertCentral account

Under Your persistent URI, select Copy. Add it to the persistent DNS TXT record in the next step.

Go to your DNS provider's website and create a new DNS record for your domain.

For provider-specific instructions, refer to your DNS provider’s documentation for creating or updating DNS TXT records.

In the record Type field, or its equivalent, select TXT.

In the Host field, sometimes labeled Name or Hostname, enter _validation-persist.

Some DNS providers automatically append your domain name. Others may require the complete hostname, for example:

_validation-persist.example.com

In the Value field, sometimes labeled Content or TXT value, enter the persistent URI value you copied from CertCentral.

Example:

digicert.com; accounturi=https://digicert.com/account/{{your_persistent_uri_value}}

Select a Time-to-Live (TTL) value or use your DNS provider's default TTL value.

Save the persistent TXT record.

In CertCentral, return to the certificate’s Order # details page.

In the Certificate status section, under What do you need to do, select the Prove control over domains link.

In the Prove control over domain window, go to 5. Complete domain validation and select Check record.
