DNS Validation

MTG CLM supports DNS CNAME validation for PSW Sectigo TLS server certificates. This validation method requires creating DNS CNAME records for your domain, in order to prove domain ownership. DNS CNAME validation enables certificate issuance for wildcard domains and scenarios where HTTP-based validation cannot be performed.

Domain validation and other validations are still performed outside the MTG CLM platform. MTG CLM serves solely to request the certificate. For a successful certificate request, the requirements regarding validation must be met.
