Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) is a type of DNS record that allows the owner of a domain to specify which certificate authority (or authorities) are allowed to issue SSL/TLS certificates for their domain(s). This quick answer shows you how to set up CAA records on your Linode.


## Add a Single CAA Record

1. From your Linode's dashboard, select **DNS Manager** at the top of the page.

2. Select the domain you want to add the record to, or add a domain if you don't already have one listed.

3. Under the **CAA Records** section, select **Add a new CAA record**.

4. Here's an explanation of the form fields:

**Subdomain**: This field indicates the domain or subdomain you want the CAA record to cover. To apply it to your entire website (`example.com`), you can just leave this field blank. To limit the record's application to a subdomain on your site, (`subdomain.example.com`), enter that into the form field.

**Tag**:

- *issue* - Authorize the certificate authority entered in the *Value* field further below to issue TLS certificates for your site.

- *issuewild* - Same as above, with the exception that you were issued a wildcard certificate.

- *iodef* - URL where your CA can report security policy violations to you concerning certificate issue requests.

**Value**: If the *issue* or *issuewild* tag was selected above, then the value field takes the domain of your certificate issuer (for example: `letsencrypt.org`). If the *iodef* tag was selected, the value field takes a contact or submission URL (`http` or `mailto`).

**TTL (Time to Live)**: Time in seconds that your new CAA record will be cached by Linode's DNS name servers before being refreshed. The *Default* selection's TTL is 300 seconds, which is fine for most cases. You can use `dig` to view the remaining time your DNS records will be cached until refreshed. Replace *linode.com* with your site's domain or subdomain in the command below:

root@debian:~# dig +nocmd +noall +answer example.com
example.com. 167 IN A 203.0.113.1

5. Select **Save Changes** when finished. The CAA record should be fully propagated within the TTL duration.


## Add Multiple CAA Records

Multiple CAA records must be added individually. If your site `example.com` was issued a TLS certificate by Let's Encrypt, but your subdomain `shop.example.com` uses a Symantec certificate, you would need two different CAA records. A reporting URL for the *iodef* tag would also need its own record. Those three would look something like this:
