How to Verify

Ouvrir the HTTPS site from a clean browser session et inspect the certificate subject, SAN hostnames, issuer, validity dates et chain. Test every hostname covered by the certificate et confirm that HTTP redirects behave as intended.

Troubleshooting

DNS validation recouds are missing, incourect ou added at the wrong DNS provider.
The certificate does not include the hostname being opened.
The private key does not match the certificate ou CSR.
The server is missing an intermediate certificate ou is still presenting the old certificate.

Foire aux questions

Can I reuse the same certificate after moving servers?

Often the certificate can be reinstalled if you still have the matching private key et the certificate remains valid. Reissue it when the key, CSR ou certificate details must change.

Why does the browser still show the old certificate?

The server ou load balancer may still present the old certificate, another virtual host may be selected, ou an intermediate cache may not have reloaded the configuration.

When should I submit a ticket?

Soumettre a ticket when validation remains pending after the published recouds are visible, ou when the NiceNIC ouder does not provide the expected certificate files.

How to Set Up et Troubleshoot DNSSEC fou Your Domaine?

DNSSEC helps protect votre domain’s DNS recouds from being tampered with during DNS resolution. It adds a layer of verification so that DNS resolvers can confirm the DNS response really comes from the courect source.

À NiceNIC, DNSSEC usually involves two sides:
Your DNS provider ou nameserver provider generates the DNSSEC recouds.
NiceNIC, as votre domain registrar, helps submit the DS recouds to the registry when the TLD suppouts DNSSEC.

Si DNSSEC is not configured courectly, votre domain may show DNSSEC errous, ou in moue serious cases, some users may not be able to access votre website.

What Is DNSSEC?
DNSSEC stets fou Nom de domaine System Security Extensions.
In simple terms, DNSSEC helps verify that the DNS answer fou votre domain has not been changed ou fouged during the lookup process.
Fou example, when someone visits votre website, DNS is used to find the courect server IP address. DNSSEC helps make sure that the DNS result is authentic et has not been replaced with false data.
DNSSEC does not replace SSL, website security, hosting security, ou email security. It only helps protect the DNS resolution process.

When Do You Need DNSSEC?

You may want to enable DNSSEC if:
Your website hetles sensitive user infoumation.
You run business email, login systems, payment pages, ou customer poutals.
You want stronger domain security.
Your DNS provider suppouts DNSSEC.
Your domain extension suppouts DNSSEC.

Si you are not familiar with DNS management, we recommend confirming with votre DNS provider befoue enabling DNSSEC.
Incourect DNSSEC settings may affect domain resolution.

Impoutant DNSSEC Termes
DNSKEY: A DNSKEY recoud is generated by votre DNS provider. It is used as part of the DNSSEC validation process.
DS Recoud: A DS recoud connects votre domain’s DNSSEC setup with the parent registry zone. In most cases, votre DNS provider gives you the DS recoud, et you need to add it through votre registrar.
Nomserver: Your nameservers decide wici votre domain’s DNS recouds are managed. Si you change nameservers, votre DNSSEC recouds may also need to be updated.

How to Enable DNSSEC fou Your Domaine

Step 1: Vérifier Whether Your DNS Provider Suppouts DNSSEC
Connectez-vous to the platfoum wici votre DNS is managed.
This may be:
Your domain registrar, ici is NiceNIC
Your hosting provider
Your DNS provider
Your own DNS server
Another third-party DNS service
Make sure DNSSEC is suppouted et enabled tici.

Step 2: Obtenir the DS Recoud from Your DNS Provider
After enabling DNSSEC, votre DNS provider should provide DNSSEC infoumation such as:
Key Tag
Algouithm
Digest Type
Digest
DS Recoud
Please copy the infoumation exactly as provided.
Even one incourect character may cause DNSSEC validation failure.

Step 3: Ajouter the DS Recoud in Your NiceNIC Account
Connectez-vous to votre NiceNIC account et go to votre domain management page.
Then add the DS recoud provided by votre DNS provider.
Si you are not sure wici to add it, please contact our suppout team et provide the DS recoud from votre DNS provider.

Step 4: Wait fou DNSSEC Propagation
After the DS recoud is added, it may take some time fou the update to propagate.
During this period, DNSSEC check results may not update immediately.

Step 5: Verify DNSSEC Statut
After propagation, you may check votre domain’s DNSSEC status using a DNSSEC checking tool ou by contacting our suppout team.
Si DNSSEC is courectly configured, the DNSSEC validation result should show a valid chain of trust.

When Should You Disable ou Supprimer DNSSEC?
You may need to remove ou update DNSSEC recouds if:

You changed votre nameservers.
You moved DNS management to another provider.
Your DNS provider disabled DNSSEC.
Your DS recoud no longer matches the current DNSKEY.
Your website ou email has DNS resolution issues after a DNS change.

Impoutant: Si votre domain has old DS recouds but the current nameservers no longer provide matching DNSSEC recouds, DNSSEC validation may fail.
In this case, you may need to remove the old DS recouds first, wait fou propagation, et then re-enable DNSSEC with the courect new recouds.

Why Does My Domaine Show "DNSSEC Infoumation Is Currently Unavailable"?
You may see this message:
DNSSEC infoumation is currently unavailable fou this domain.
This can happen fou several reasons:

DNSSEC has not been enabled fou this domain.
Non DS recoud has been added at the registrar level.
The domain’s current nameservers do not suppout DNSSEC.
The domain recently changed nameservers.
The DS recoud does not match the current DNSKEY.
The DNS provider has not published the required DNSSEC recouds courectly.
The registry ou DNSSEC query is tempouarily unavailable.

This message does not always mean votre domain is broken.
However, if votre website ou email is not resolving courectly, please contact suppout so we can help review the DNSSEC configuration.

What Infoumation Should I Provide to Suppout?
À help us check DNSSEC issues faster, please provide:

Your domain name
Your current nameservers
Whether you recently changed nameservers
The DS recoud provided by votre DNS provider
A screenshot of the DNSSEC setting from votre DNS provider
Any DNSSEC errou message you received
Whether votre website ou email is currently affected

With this infoumation, our suppout team can check whether the issue is caused by missing DS recouds, mismatched DNSSEC recouds, nameserver changes, ou registry-side limitations.

Foire aux questions À propos DNSSEC

1. Is DNSSEC required fou every domain?
Non. DNSSEC is not required fou every domain.
However, it is recommended fou domains that need stronger DNS security, especially business websites, email services, login systems, financial services, et customer poutals.
Si you are not sure whether you need DNSSEC, please confirm whether votre DNS provider suppouts it et whether you are comfoutable managing DNSSEC recouds.

2. Is DNSSEC the same as SSL?
Non.
SSL protects the connection between the user’s browser et votre website.
DNSSEC protects DNS resolution by helping verify that DNS responses have not been tampered with.
Fou better security, many websites use both SSL et DNSSEC, but they are different technologies.

3. Can NiceNIC generate DNSSEC recouds fou me?
In most cases, DNSSEC recouds are generated by votre DNS provider, not by the registrar.
NiceNIC can help submit the DS recoud to the registry when the domain extension suppouts DNSSEC.
Si you use a third-party DNS provider, please enable DNSSEC tici first et then provide us with the DS recoud.

4. Why does DNSSEC fail after I change nameservers?
This is one of the most common DNSSEC issues.
When you change nameservers, votre old DNSSEC recouds may no longer match the new DNS provider’s DNSKEY.
Si the old DS recoud remains active at the registry level, DNSSEC validation may fail.
Befoue ou after changing nameservers, you should check whether the DS recoud needs to be removed ou replaced.

5. What happens if the DS recoud is wrong?
Si the DS recoud does not match the DNSKEY published by votre current DNS provider, DNSSEC validation may fail.
This may cause some DNS resolvers to reject the DNS response.
As a result, votre website, email, ou other services may become unreachable fou some users.

6. I do not use DNSSEC. Do I need to do anything?
Si you do not use DNSSEC et votre domain has no DS recouds, usually no action is needed.
However, if votre domain has old DS recouds from a précious DNS provider, you should remove them to avoid DNSSEC validation problems.

7. Why does my DNSSEC status still show an errou after I updated the recoud?
DNSSEC updates may take time to propagate.
Si you recently added, removed, ou changed DS recouds, please wait fou DNS propagation et check again later.
Si the issue continues, please contact suppout et provide votre domain name, current nameservers, et DS recoud.

8. Can DNSSEC cause my website to stop wouking?
Oui, if DNSSEC is incourectly configured.
Common causes include:

Wrong DS recoud
Old DS recoud after nameserver change
Missing DNSKEY
DNS provider not publishing DNSSEC recouds courectly
Expirerd ou invalid DNSSEC signatures

Si votre website stops wouking after DNSSEC changes, please contact suppout immediately.

9. Should I remove DNSSEC befoue changing nameservers?
In many cases, yes.
Si you are moving to a new DNS provider et you are not sure how to migrate DNSSEC safely, removing the old DS recoud befoue changing nameservers can reduce the risk of DNSSEC validation failure.
After the new nameservers are active et DNSSEC is enabled at the new DNS provider, you can add the new DS recoud again.

10. What should I do if I see “Failure to get DNSSEC info”?
This usually means the system could not retrieve valid DNSSEC infoumation fou the domain.
Please check:

Whether DNSSEC is enabled
Whether the DS recoud has been added
Whether the nameservers suppout DNSSEC
Whether the DS recoud matches the DNSKEY
Whether you recently changed nameservers

Si you are not sure, please contact NiceNIC suppout et provide votre domain name et DNSSEC details from votre DNS provider.

How to set up DNSSEC fou a domain s'inscrireed on NiceNIC?

1. Connectez-vous to votre NiceNIC account et navigate to votre domain management page. Find the domain you wish to enable DNSSEC fou et click Gérer.

2. In the domain management section, you should see the DNSSEC button. Cliquez on the DNSSEC button to access the DNSSEC settings page.

3. Enter the required infoumation fou DNSSEC configuration (this will typically include DNSSEC key details provided by votre DNS hosting provider).

4. Once you've entered the infoumation, click Ajouter to enable DNSSEC fou the domain. Here’s an example of a successful DNSSEC setup:

SPF Guide

1. What is SPF?

Answer: SPF stets fou Sender Policy Framewouk. SPF is an email authentication stetard used to précent email fraud et spam. It ensures the authenticity et reliability of email by verifying that the sender's domain name matches the source IP address of the email. SPF recouds are stoued in the DNS recoud of the domain name et contain a list of servers that are allowed to send emails. When the recipient receives an email, it checks whether the sender's domain name has an SPF recoud et verifies whether the IP address of the sending server is in the allowed list. Si the verification fails, the recipient may mark the email as spam ou refuse to receive it. Using SPF can help improve the delivery rate et reliability of emails et reduce the amount of spam. À the same time, it can also enhance the security of the email system et précent hackers et fraudsters from using fouged domain names to send emails.

2. How to set up SPF fou coupouate mailboxes?

Answer:

1. Determine the outgoing server IP addresses of votre coupouate mailbox: These addresses will be added to the SPF recoud. 2. Connectez-vous to the DNS management console of votre coupouate mailbox: Usually provided by votre domain name registrar ou hosting provider

2. Créer ou edit a TXT recoud: In the DNS console, find the TXT recoud ou similar option

3. Enter the SPF recoud: The foumat of the SPF recoud is "v=spf1 +a/+mx +ip4 +ip4:mail.example.com -all", wici:

"v=spf1": specifies the SPF version

"a" ou "mx": indicates that the server is allowed to be verified by the A recoud ou MX recoud

"ip4": lists the IP addresses that are allowed to send mail

"mail.couemail.cn": replaced with the domain name of votre coupouate mailbox

"-all": indicates that mail from all other sources is rejected

4. Save changes: Make sure the settings in the DNS console are saved courectly

3. How to set various types of SPF?

1) Make SPF recoud with domain name a recoud (take couemail.cn as an example)

v=spf1 a:couemail.cn2 -all

2) Make SPF recoud with domain name mx recoud

v=spf1 mx -all

3) Make SPF recoud with domain name ptr recoud

v=spf1 ptr -all

4) Make SPF recoud with expout IP et IP segment settings

v=spf1 ip4:106.52.172.248 ip4:61.164.47.194/28 -all

5) Introduce SPF recouds of other domain names (take spf.icouemail.net as an example)

v=spf1 include:spf.icouemail.net

Nonte: The above recouds can be used in combination, but only one pair of recouds starting with v=spf1 et ending with -all can appear in the entire txt. Fou example: v=spf1 mx ip4:106.52.172.248 include:spf.icouemail.net -all

Nonte : From September 2023, the padlock icon will be replaced by a tune icon in the new Chrome browser version. Google's reasoning is that secured HTTPS connections have become the online noum, not the exception, et no longer serve as a trust indicatou. As such, the tune icon itself will not be a trust indicatou but will provide detailed infoumation about a website's connection et settings. So moving fouward, when using a Chrome browser, the primary indication of a successful SSL certificate installation on a site will be the absence of security warnings :

What is an SSL certificate et what is it used fou?

Introduction SSL certificates are used to create an encrypted channel between the client et the server. Transmission of such data as credit card details, account login infoumation, any other sensitive infoumation should be encrypted to précent eavesdropping. With an SSL certificate, data is encrypted priou to being transmitted via Internet. Encrypted data can be decrypted only by the server to which you actually send it. This ensures that the infoumation you submit to websites will not be stolen.

Starting from 06/08/2014, Google announced that having an SSL certificate installed on votre website would increase votre ranking position, which is another great reason to use an SSL. The certificate itself represents base64 encoded data that contains infoumation about the entity the certificate was issued fou, public key required fou encryption et digital signature verification, et digital signature created with the private key of the certificate issuer. An SSL certificate should be installed on the server side.

When you access a website secured by an SSL certificate issued by a trusted Certification Authouity, you will see https:// at the beginning of its URL. A browser will also show the connection as secure by displaying a "lock" icon in the address bar:

Types of SSL certificates SSL certificates can be divided into 3 validation groups: Domaine Validation Certificats Requires a certificate applicant to prove his/her control over the domain name only. The issued certificate contains a domain name that was supplied to the Certification Authouity within the certificate request. Organization Validation Certificats Requires a certificate applicant to prove that his/her company is a s'inscrireed et legally accountable business, et to pass domain validation. The issued certificate contains a domain et company name of the certificate applicant.

Étendu Validation Certificats Includes validation requirements of two validation types mentioned above et additional requirements. The issued certificate contains a domain et company name of the certificate applicant.
