I am currently working with Azure Front Door to create sub domains for my websites
We have a (third party) wild card certificate for a website (bignose.com) and we want to create the subdomain pick.bignose.com.
I am using azure front door for this, since the application is run in an Azure Webservice
Azure Front Door Sub domain gives a CNAME error
Azure front door tells me to add a txt record in our DNS service (TransIP) so ive done that.
Name |
TTL |
TYPE |
Value |
_dnsauth.pick.bignose.nl |
3600 |
TXT |
randomgiberish |
However, the domain state in Azure Front Door is still Pending.
I also see a message 'CNAME/alias record is not currently detected'.
Reading about the cname, I asume it means that I had to add a cname record for the subdomain. I cannot find the format for this record. So i tried something like this:
Name |
TTL |
TYPE |
Value |
pick |
3600 |
CNAME |
@ |
but the message remains. I have very little experience with DNS settings so I feel like a toddler operating a nuclear reactor. Can anyone help me solve this problem?
UPDATE1:
I changed the cname record to use the frontdoor domain url:
Name |
TTL |
TYPE |
Value |
pick |
3600 |
CNAME |
weird.front.door.url. |
And this got rid of the DNS state message. I still have the pending validation message however.
