For more information about how SSL/TLS verifies server identities to protect your websites, see cPanel's Guide to SSL

CAA Records in Zone Files

Certificate Authority Authentication Records (CAA)in a domain’s zone file restrict which Certificate Authorities (CA) may issue certificates for that domain.

If no CAA records exist for a domain, all CAs can issue certificates for that domain.

If conflicting CAA records exist, remove the existing CAA records or add one for the desired CA.

You can manage your CAA records in the Zone Editor interface. For more information see Certificate Authority requirements
