Adding CAA record on CWP

[itmonitor]

Hello,

How to add a CAA record on CWP? Is it through a CNAME, TXT, PTR or other? Where do I add it in CWP.

Any advice is welcome

Good point.
CWP seems not have CAA record in DNS functions.
CAA records are growing in importance in global internet, as several authorities begin to emerge offering free certificates, posing security problems to domain owners.

May be you have do it only manually, at the moment.

Thank you. How to do it manually?

Edit your zone file in '/var/named' directory.
For example, for a "example.com" domain, the file '/var;named/domain.com.db'.

And add the following at the final of that file, for exemple to the Let's Encrypt certificate authority,:

Code Select Expand


example.com.  CAA 0 issue "letsencrypt.org"


If you want to allow Let's Encrypt for wildcard certificates, then you can use issuewild:

Code Select Expand


example.com.  CAA 0 issuewild "letsencrypt.org"


Save the changes, and restart named:
(for CentOS 7)

Code Select Expand


# systemctl restart named


(for CentOS 6.*)

Code Select Expand


# service named restart

it works. Thank you.

Thank you Netino.
That saved me a lot of time as trying to add CAA through panel was not possible.
