# Domain ownership validation

Available in Classic and VPC

To issue a certificate, you must validate ownership of all domains in your request. Global Edge dedicated certificates support only DNS validation.

## DNS validation prerequisites

To perform DNS validation when validating domain ownership, you need permission to change the CNAME record in the domain's DNS.

- Certificate Manager does not support changes to DNS records. Check with your domain name registrar, agency, or your own DNS management system to see how to make changes in advance.
- For domains registered with [Global DNS](https://www.ncloud.com/product/networking/globalDns) on NAVER Cloud Platform, you can change CNAME records using Global DNS.

## DNS validation method

After the certificate application is completed, validation values will be generated for each domain's CNAME record name and record value. To validate DNS:

1. Go to **Cloud Certificate** > **Certificate List** > **Certificate details** to check the DNS validation value for your domain. It appears in the following format:

| Record Name | Record Type | Record Value |
| --- | --- | --- |
| _acme-challenge.mydomain1.example.com. | CNAME | Generated token value |
  - **Record Name**: The validation value to enter as the DNS record name.
  - **Record Type**: Set the record type to **CNAME** in the DNS management system.
  - **Record Value**: The validation value to enter as the DNS record value.
2. Enter the DNS validation value through your domain's DNS management system.
  - Domains that successfully complete DNS validation will have their validation status change from **In progress** to **Succeeded**.

              Note

              

The certificate is issued after all domains included in the certificate have been successfully validated. Go to **Cloud Certificate** > **Certificate List** > **Certificate details** to check the validation status of your domains.
