Verifying your domain allows us to confirm that you own it and can help you manage access to your account.

Add your domain

Verify your domain

Add your domain

Go to Admin Console portal, navigate to Settings > Directory Setting > Domains > Add Domain.

 

Choose your domain verification method. For details, review the steps below.

Note：The format is yourdomain.com, Not http://yourdomain.com or https://yourdomain.com  

Verify your domain

You can verify domains in the following two methods:

  • HTTPS — Upload an TXT file to the root folder of your domain's website.

  • DNS record — Create a TXT record to your domain name system (DNS). (Recommended)

Verify over HTTPS

  1. From the HTTPS tab, download the foxit-domain-verification.txt file.

  2. Go to your domain's webserver, upload the TXT file to the root directory.

  3. Return to the Domains page, and click Verify.

Note that: Please visit example.com/Foxit-domain-verification.txt in the browser and check if the value of Foxit-domain-verification=xxxx is correct. If correct, the domain validation is successful. Please do not delete the Foxit-domain-verification.txt file from your domain, for security reasons we check the verification file regularly. mceclip6.png

 

Verify over DNS

  1. From the DNS tab, copy the txt record to your clipboard.mceclip3.png

  2. Go to your DNS host and find the settings page for adding a new TXT record.

  3. Select the option for adding a new record and paste the txt record to the Value field (may be named Answer or Description).

  4. Your DNS record may have the following fields:

    • Record type: 'TXT'

    • Name/Host/Alias: Leave the default that is set for your organization(It will typically be @ or blank)

    • Time to live (TTL): Set the TTL to 3600 or use the provided default

  5. Save the record.

  6. Return to the Domains page and click Verify.

  7. The next step is to wait, maybe 72 hours. Because it may take up to 72 hours for your domain to complete verification. You can use https://dnschecker.org/ to check that your domain DNS resolution is working. If you can see the "Foxit-domain-verification=" record, it means that DNS resolution has taken effect.

Once the DNS resolution is in effect, Click Verify to verify your domain until verification is successful. mceclip0.png

10. If the verification is successful, it will change the status to verified as shown below. mceclip1.png

    For step 9, it states that after 24 hours, the admin should click verify. Is this something that admins have to do if they already initially clicked "verify domain" to initiate the domain verification once the .txt is in the root of the DNS directory? Or is this a situation where admins should only do this if the domain has not been verified within the first 24 hours? At what point in this process will users automatically be switched to being prompted for SSO sign in?
