Azure CDN HTTPS stuck at enabling -- validation request being sent to protected-by-gdpr email? any workaround?


So my 'enabling' HTTPS stage for my CDN endpoint has been stuck for 3+ days at 'enabling cdn' with the usual message of: a verification request will be sent to the email listed in your domain’s registration record (WHOIS registrant).

Now, I have the CNAME set as you can't even add it if it's not set to the right CDN endpoint. I have cancelled the process and restarted it after 2 days and now at the 2'nd attempt it's been hanging for 3 days.

The issue is the email for verification via the WHOIS will always go to something like protected-by-gdpr@gdpr-protected.com -- some type of placeholder domain as due to GDPR in Europe WHOIS data is no longer available.

This is not like 'WHOIS GUARD' that still leaves a way of getting contact, nor it is changeable, it is by default enforced across all domains as far as I can tell.

Now my questions is, what do I do to enable HTTPS on my custom domain if it doesn't care/look at the CNAME records?


Solution

  • I needed to add digicert to my CAA authorities in my domains DNS setting, because I already had a value present, it wouldn't let me issue certificates unless I added that there.
