Menu names may vary according to the version used. Therefore, write the target on the screen, the service to be affected and the expected value after the transaction begins. Authorized name server addresses and registration TTL only local without verifying value DNS do not trust cache.

Before the process starts

  • Verify the name and type of service of the target account.
  • Note the current value with date information.
  • Do not test the current backup can be read.
  • Specify the contact person during maintenance.

Step by step app

  1. Which name server set of domain name uses WHOIS and authorized DNS Verify it with your query.
  2. Current registration name, type, goal and TTL Take screenshot or note of the value.
  3. Be careful not to combine the registration name twice as possible, to do typing and final point error in the target.
  4. Ratchet for the same name A, AAAA or CNAME Check records.
  5. Verify that the new response has been published directly from authorized servers.
  6. Local and general DNS Take into account that old responses can be seen until the cache is renewed.

Verification and troubleshooting

DNS or query the authorized source directly in the transactions containing the certificate; not only look at the cache of your own computer. Match the panel value with the actual request in the application setting.

  • Does the authorized server rotate new registration?
  • Is the certificate and routing correct?
  • Does the application connect to the expected target?

Safety and continuity notes

Save the changeholder and time if multiple managers are running. Stop simultaneous interventions, avoid the formation of conflict settings.

Return to the final successful situation instead of adding new settings in the unforeseen situation. Check the records at the trading time and repeat the same test with one variable.
