Other Records

There are more records which are disabled by default in DirectAdmin. However, you can enable them manually if you want to.

# CAA RECORDS

DNS Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) is an Internet security policy mechanism which uses resource records in the Domain Name System (DNS) to allow domain name holders to specify which certificate authorities are authorized to issue certificates for that domain, and which types of certificates they are able to issue.

You can manually enable CAA record in DirectAdmin by following this guide.

 

# TLSA RECORDS

TLSA records are used to specify the keys used in a domain's TLS servers.

The TLSA record identification (record name) is made of of 3 parts:

  • Port number: The port number that the TLS server listens on.
  • Protocol: The protocol used (udp, tcp, sctp, or user defined).
  • Server host name: Host name of the TLS server.

You can manually enable TSLA record in DirectAdmin by following this guide.
