After you request approval from CA, you need to work with the CA toverify your ownership of the associated domain. After you complete theverification and the CA approves the verification, the status of your certificate willthen change.

If you do not complete the domain ownership verification, your certificate willremain in the Pending domain name verification state.

You can verify your domain ownership by any of the following methods:

● Verification by File● Verification by Email● Verification by DNS

NO TE

● IP address SSL certificates can only be verified by file.● DV and basic DV certificates (GeoTrust entry-level SSL certificates and DigiCert free SSL

certificates) can only be verified by DNS.

Prerequisites● Verification by file: You have obtained the account and password for logging

in to the server.● Verification by email: You have obtained the account and password for

logging in to the domain name administrator's mailbox. For details, see HowDo I Query and Verify the Email Address of the Domain Administrator?

Page 16: Getting StartedDomain Name This parameter is displayed when you purchase a multi-domain certificate. Enter one or more additional domain names that need to be associated with the certificate

After CA approves your application, you need to verify your domain ownership asdescribed in the order, or your certificate will remain in the Pending domainname verification state and will not be approved.

If you purchase a multi-domain certificate and select verification by file, you needto verify each domain separately by file.

Verification by file is usually performed by your server administrator. This sectiondescribes how to verify domain ownership by file.

Step 1 Log in to the management console.

Step 2 In the navigation pane on the left, click and, under Security, choose SSLCertificate Manager to go to the SSL Certificate Manager console.

Step 3 In the Operation column of the certificate for which domain name verification isto be performed, click Verify Domain Name.

Step 4 View the Record Value on the Verify Domain Name page, or log in to the emailyou provided during certificate application, and find the Record Value.

Figure 3-1 Verification by file

Step 5 Log in to your server.

Step 6 Create the specified file in the root directory of the website.

NO TE

The root directory of the website refers to the folder where the website programs are storedon the server. The root directory has the following names: wwwroot, htdocs, public_html,webroot, and more. Perform operations as required.

Example:

Assume that the root directory of the website is /www/htdocs.

1. Create the .well-known/pki-validation subdirectory in the root directory ofthe website.In this case, create the subdirectory in the /www/htdocs directory.

2. Create the whois.txt file in the .well-known/pki-validation subdirectory.3. Place the record value obtained in Step 4 in the whois.txt file.

Step 7 Check whether the configuration has taken effect.

1. Open a browser and access the URL: https://your domain/.well-known/pki-validation/whois.txt or http://your domain/.well-known/pki-validation/whois.txt.Replace your domain in the URL address with the domain name bound duringcertificate application.– If your domain name is a common domain name, perform the following

operations:

SSL Certificate ManagerGetting Started 3 Verify the Domain Ownership

Issue 3 (2020-04-28) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 13

Page 17: Getting StartedDomain Name This parameter is displayed when you purchase a multi-domain certificate. Enter one or more additional domain names that need to be associated with the certificate

For example, if your domain name is example.domain.com, the accessURL address is https://example.domain.com/.well-known/pki-validation/whois.txt or http://example.domain.com/.well-known/pki-validation/whois.txt.

NO TE

For a domain name starting with www, for example, www.domain.com, performthe following operations:1. Perform steps Step 1 to Step 7 to perform verification by file on the domain

name www.domain.com and check whether the verification configurationhas taken effect.

2. Access the URL address https://domain.com/.well-known/pki-validation/whois.txt, and check the value displayed.The value displayed must be the same as the value obtained in Step 4.

– For a wildcard domain name, perform the following operations:For example, if your domain name is *.domain.com, the access URLaddress is https://domain.com/.well-known/pki-validation/whois.txtor http://domain.com/.well-known/pki-validation/whois.txt.

2. Check whether the verification has taken effect.Check whether the verification URL address can be properly accessed in thebrowser and if the record value displayed on the page is the same as that onthe order progress page or in the email.– If the record value matches the one obtained in Step 4, the configuration

of domain name verification has taken effect.– If they are different, the configuration of domain name verification does

not take effect.If the configuration does not take effect, perform the following checks:

▪ Check whether the verification URL address exists in HTTPSaccessible addresses. If yes, use HTTPS to re-access the URL addressin the browser. If the browser displays a message indicating that thecertificate is untrusted or the displayed content is incorrect, disablethe HTTPS service for the domain name temporarily.

▪ Ensure that the verification URL address can be accessed at anyplace. Detection servers of some brands are located outside China.Check whether your site has images outside China or whether thesmart DNS service is used.

▪ Check whether the verification URL address contains 301 or 302redirection. If such redirection exists, cancel the related settings todisable the redirection.You can run the wget -S URL address command to check whetherthe verification URL address is redirected.

Step 8 After the verification is complete, additional time is required for the CA to verifyyour domain name. During this period, the certificate is in the Pending domainname verification state.

Page 18: Getting StartedDomain Name This parameter is displayed when you purchase a multi-domain certificate. Enter one or more additional domain names that need to be associated with the certificate

If you have verified the domain name, the CA will take 2 to 3 working days toverify your information. The certificate enters the Pending organizationverification state only after the CA has confirmed your domain ownership.

----End

Verification by EmailAfter you apply for a certificate, the CA will send a confirmation email to yourdomain name administrator's email address. Perform the confirmation in theemail as prompted. The certificate issuing will enter the next stage after thedomain name is verified.

If you purchase a multi-domain certificate and select verification by email, anddifferent email addresses are used, you need to perform verification by email foreach domain name.

This section describes how to verify domain ownership by email.

Step 1 Log in to the mailbox of the domain name administrator.

Step 2 Open the domain name confirmation email from the CA.

Step 3 Click the confirmation link in the email to complete the domain name verification.

After the verification is complete, additional time is required for the CA to verifyyour domain name. During this period, the certificate is in the Pending domainname verification state.

If you have verified the domain name, the CA will take 2 to 3 working days toverify your information. The certificate enters the Pending organizationverification state only after the CA has confirmed your domain ownership.

----End

Verification by DNSFor verification by DNS, you need to verify domain ownership on your domainname management platform by resolving a specific DNS record.

As an example, this part describes how to verify domain ownership using HUAWEICLOUD DNS. The process is similar on other platforms.

If you purchase a multi-domain certificate and select verification by DNS, youneed to perform verification by DNS separately for each domain name.

Page 19: Getting StartedDomain Name This parameter is displayed when you purchase a multi-domain certificate. Enter one or more additional domain names that need to be associated with the certificate

NO TICE

You need to modify DNS records on your domain management platform for theDNS record to take effect.

● If you are managing your domain name on HUAWEI CLOUD, modify the DNSrecord on HUAWEI CLOUD.

● If your domain name is hosted on other platforms, such as www.net.cn,www.xinnet.com, and www.dnspod.cn, verify your domain name by either ofthe following methods:

● Method 1: Go to the platform hosting your domain name and completethe DNS verification by following the resolution method required by theplatform. For example, if the domain name is hosted on Alibaba Cloud,perform related configurations on the DNS console of Alibaba Cloud.

● Method 2: Use HUAWEI CLOUD Domain Name Service (DNS) to hostyour domain name, and then perform the verification by following theinstructions in this topic.

We recommend the second method so that you can complete verificationquickly and get your certificate issued as quickly as possible.

Obtaining the Host Record and Record Value of a Certificate

Step 1 Log in to the management console.

Step 2 In the navigation pane on the left, click and, under Security, choose SSLCertificate Manager to go to the SSL Certificate Manager console.

Step 3 In the Operation column of the certificate for which domain name verification isto be performed, click Verify Domain Name.

Step 4 On the Verify Domain Name page, view the values for Host Record, RecordType, and Record Value.

Page 23: Getting StartedDomain Name This parameter is displayed when you purchase a multi-domain certificate. Enter one or more additional domain names that need to be associated with the certificate

● If the command output does not contain a TXT record and Non-existentdomain is displayed, the configuration does not take effect.

Figure 3-6 Non-effective domain name verification configuration

If the configuration of domain name ownership verification does not takeeffect, rectify the fault based on the following possible causes until theverification takes effect:– It requires a long period of time for the configuration to take effect.

Check whether the effective time (TTL) is too long. It is recommendedthat you set the TTL to 5 minutes. This value varies depending on thecloud service provider. In HUAWEI CLOUD DNS, the default value is 5minutes, so the configuration takes effect within 5 minutes by default.

– The record configuration is incorrect.Check whether the Name or Type is correct.

NO TICE

Check whether full domain names are supported. If not, delete the suffixof the root domain name.

----End

Follow-Up ProcedureIf you have applied for an OV, OV Pro, EV, or EV Pro certificate, once domain nameverification is complete, the CA will send you an organization verification email.Then, the CA will contact you based on the verification mode you selected tocheck whether the enterprise or organization has initiated the certificateapplication.
