Validating Domain For AWS ACM in GoDaddy


I have requested an SSL certificate from AWS and I opted for DNS validation. Now they are asking me to add a CNAME record to validate. They have provided me the following to be used:

Name: xxx.example.com.  [Host field on GoDaddy]
Value: xxx.acm-validations.aws. [Points to field on GoDaddy]
Type: CNAME

Now whenever I provide this using GoDaddy DNS interface, it throws an error saying for 'Points to' field:

Enter either @ or a valid host name such as: subdomain.example.tld

Did anyone encounter this issue on GoDaddy DNS entries?


Solution

  • The Host field should be filled with xxx (your subdomain) and the Points To field with xxx.acm-validations.aws (without dot).
