Best answer
To add the CAA record, follow these steps:
Log into the Hurricane Electric Free DNS Management panel.
Select the domain you want to add the CAA record.
In the "Managing Zone" panel, click on
Additional
->
New CAA
links. It will show a popup window "Type 'CAA Record".
In the Name (
A name may only contain A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _, -, and .. '@', '*', or the hostname may be used where appropriate.
) field, enter the domain or hostname. If you are adding CAA for the domain, just add @.
In the 'CAA data' (
CAA records MUST contain a [FLAG] [iodef|issue|issuewild] "[VALUE]"
) field, you need to provide 3 values: FLAG,
iodef|issue|issuewild, certificate issuer.
E.g., If I want to use "issue" for "letsencrypt", I will write the following in the CAA data field.
0 issue "letsencrypt.org"
Click on the submit button and it should not give any error.
