CAA Records. A Certificate Authority Authorization (CAA) DNS record specifies which Certificate Authorities (CAs) are allowed to issue certificates for a domain. If your root domain uses CAA records, you'll need to add new records to allow us to issue certificates for the custom domain on your behalf.
