Question

How to add a CAA DNS record to a domain on Plesk?

Answer

DNS records can be added through the panel or command line if Plesk DNS is used. If the domain uses external DNS servers, the record should be added outside of Plesk.

Plesk Panel

  1. Log in to Plesk

  2. Go to Domains > example.com > DNS Settings, and press Add Record

  3. Set Record type to CAA, enter the required values, and hit the OK button

  4. Apply the changes with the Update button:

Linux CLI

  1. Connect to the server via SSH

  2. Run the following command:

    # plesk bin dns --add example.com -caa caa_value -tag issue

    Available options for the CAA record tag are issue, issuewild or iodef

Windows CLI

  1. Connect to the server via RDP

  2. Start a Command Prompt or PowerShell as Administrator

  3. Run the following command:

    plesk bin dns --add example.com -caa caa_value -tag issue

    Available options for the CAA record tag are issue, issuewild or iodef

    I want to add

    CAA 0 issue "letsencrypt.org"

    However I am unable to do that as 0 is not accepted I get "The specified TTL value is invalid"

    But is I remove the 0 and click submit Plesk will accept the config.

    Bragi Austson Thanks for your comment. Zero is not valid; it can be from 1 second to 2147483647 seconds. If nothing is entered, it will apply whatever is the default.
