Validating SSL

Follow these steps to validate the domain

1) Now when you have Name & Value.

Go to your Godaddy account and select the domain you have entered at the last section.

Go to the DNS section.

Create CNAME record like this:

2)Now is the important part...

The Host will receive the AWS certificate manager's Name, BUT just the prefix, for example:

AWS name:

_904706782abb3d16301321f28db53e03.my-domain.com.

 

You should grab just this _904706782abb3d16301321f28db53e03 for godaddy's Host name. For the "points to" (on your GoDaddy account) input, you should grab the value of the AWS certificate manager. For example:

 

_0ba986089fff81c1b4f395a2ea75f42e.hkvuiqjoua.acm-validations.aws

 

By the way, the value comes with a dot at the end, GoDaddy will remove the dot at the moment you click enter. for example:

 

_0ba986089fff81c1b4f395a2ea75f42e.hkvuiqjoua.acm-validations.aws. will become to

_0ba986089fff81c1b4f395a2ea75f42e.hkvuiqjoua.acm-validations.aws

Finally, it should look like this:

So by following these steps we can validate our domains using Godaddy.
