A DNS TXT record authorizes a domain to be hosted in a CDN service. You must create a DNS TXT record in the zone that authorizes Cloud Manager to deploy the CDN Service with the custom domain and associate it with the backend service. This association is entirely under your control and authorizes Cloud Manager to serve content from the service to a domain. This authorization may be granted as well as withdrawn. The TXT record is specific to the Domain and the Cloud Manager environment.
You must fulfill these requirements before adding a TXT record.
When you initiate domain verification, Cloud Manager gives you the name and TXT value to use for verification. Add a TXT record to your domain’s DNS server using the specified name and value.
_aemverification.[yourdomainname]
as the Name value, and add the TXT value exactly as it appears.Refer to the examples in this table.
Domain | Name | TXT Value |
---|---|---|
example.com |
_aemverification.example.com |
Copy the entire value displayed in Cloud Manager UI. This is specific to the domain and the environment. For example:adobe-aem-verification=example.com/[program]/[env]/..* |
www.example.com |
_aemverification.www.example.com |
Copy the entire value displayed in Cloud Manager UI. This is specific to the domain and the environment. For example:adobe-aem-verification=www.example.com/[program]/[env]/..* |
When you are done you can verify the result by running the following command
dig _aemverification.[yourdomainname] -t txt
The expected result should display the TXT value provided in Cloud Manager UI.
For example, if your domain is example.com
, then run:
dig TXT _aemverification.example.com -t txt
There are a number of DNS lookup tools available. Google DoH can be used to lookup TXT record entries and identify if the TXT record is missing or erroneous.
