Manage domains#

Important

The domains feature is an early availability feature. To use it, enable the managed users feature preview in your user profile.

Verified domains let you manage users in your organization.

There are two ways you can verify a domain:

  • by adding a DNS TXT record to the domain (recommended)

  • by uploading an HTML file to your website

Note

After adding a domain, your organization users will automatically become managed users.

Add a domain using a DNS TXT record#

  1. In the organization you want to add a domain to, click Admin.

  2. Click Domains.

  3. Click Add domain.

  4. Enter a Domain name.

  5. In the Verification method, select Add a DNS TXT record to your domain host.

  6. Click Add domain.

  7. In the Verification method column, click DNS TXT record.

  8. Copy the TXT record value.

  9. In another browser tab or window, log in to your domain hosting provider.

  10. Go to the DNS settings.

  11. In the DNS settings for your domain provider, create a TXT record with the following:

    Field name

    Value

    Name

    _aiven-challenge.{your domain}

    Record value

    The TXT record value you copied in the format token=<random_string>,expiry=never

    Type

    TXT

  12. In the Aiven Console, open the Actions menu and click Verify.

It can take up to 72 hours for your DNS records to update the domain to be verified. If the domain is still not verified after that time, you can retry it by repeating the last step.
