Domain Verification

Modified on Wed, 27 Nov, 2024 at 10:24 AM

The first configuration step is to verify your domain in the Admin Portal tenant. You need to add DNS TXT records for each email domain you wish to send training campaign email notifications to. This is required to prove ownership of the domains you wish to send emails to.  You can only add users with email addresses that use a verified domain(s).


This task must be completed before customizing your URL domain or importing users into the system.


If you do not have access to change your DNS records, you may need to reach out to another resource within your organization.


Customers can verify up to 40 email domains.


Domain names must contain:

Lowercase only

At least one letter

At least three characters

No more than 64 characters

Only characters supported in domain names (e.g. hyphen)

If your domain does not verify after 72 hours, please verify if your DNS TXT record is available using Google Dig: https://helpdesk.ftnt.info/en/support/solutions/articles/73000540318-how-to-verify-your-dns-txt-and-a-records-have-been-added-correctly-and-have-been-successfully-propa


If the DNS TXT record is not available using Google Dig, you will need to verify your DNS TXT record exists. You may also have issues if the DNS TXT token is missing characters or contains leading or trailing spaces. The token must match exactly and is case sensitive.


If you make a mistake, you can delete the registered domain by selecting the trash can icon to the right of the entry.
