CNAME entry not working on NameCheap using Amazon Certificate Manager

Question

I am trying to set up a few SSL certificates in Amazon Certificate Manager, but I am trouble getting them verified after adding the CNAME in Namecheap.

Here is an example of the CNAME verification entries at Amazon Certificate Manager

Here is an example of another domains CNAME entry at Namecheap

If I put the entire value of the Name entry into Host at Namecheap, the verification fails. I also get an error on some long domains I have, as the Name entry exceeds 60 characters.

Can anyone assist with the correct parts needed to verify via DNS using Namecheap?

Answer 1

In the CNAME record enter - _cff0cda88701846cbe7a34cd737378e2 as the host field and - _490287b8f448e2cca3862ebb4a51591.acm-validations.aws in the value field.

Once done wait for at least 1 hour for the changes to reflect.
