    CAA records

    As dig shows it

    Answer

    Findings

      Capabilities and processing

      Enter a name or paste CAA records (dig or zone file lines). A name is sent to our server, which asks a public resolver; pasted records are read in your browser.

      CAA records at the name, or inherited from the closest parent that has them: the CAs allowed for normal and wildcard certificates, the reporting address, and a comparison with current certificates in the Certificate Transparency logs.

      Example workflow

      The sample domain allows two CAs, while the logs show current certificates from four: two of them will fail at their next renewal.

      Limits and interpretation

      Without CAA records, any CA may issue. Unknown critical tags stop all issuance. Nothing is stored.
