Add a DNS integration for domain validation

Add a DNS integration to automate domain validation checks during certificate lifecycle automation events. DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager supports a variety of DNS providers and also lets you add your own custom scripts to demonstrate control over your domains.

When adding the connector for a new DNS integration, you can assign it to specific network appliances, cloud services, or DigiCert agents to use for domain control validation. Or you can mark it as the default DNS integration to use for domain validation by any automated systems that do not have a specific DNS integration assigned.

Add the connector

  1. From the Trust Lifecycle Manager main menu, select Integrations > Connectors.

  2. Select the Add connector button.

  3. In the DNS integrations section, select the tile for the DNS service you want to use or select the Custom DNS option to add your own custom script.

  4. Enter a friendly Name for this DNS integration.

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

  6. Fill in the requested DNS service credentials. These vary by DNS provider.

    If you selected the Custom DNS option, add your custom script. To learn more, see Create a customized DNS script.

  7. Optionally select the checkbox to Make this the default integration for domain validation purposes.

  8. Optionally fill out the Assign this DNS integration to your systems section to select any of your existing network appliances, cloud services, or DigiCert automation agents that should use this DNS integration for domain validation. DigiCert agents can be assigned individually or via agent groups.

  9. Select Add to save the new DNS integration.
