Cloudflare for SaaS - Error 1014: CNAME Cross-User Banned

Hey there!

I’ve been trying to implement Cloudflare for SaaS to manage certificates for my SaaS customers. They already have CNAMEs pointed to my zone, but when I enable the proxy on the A record, my customers URLs respond with error Error 1014: CNAME Cross-User Banned.

The docs already mention using CF for SaaS to avoid this kind of behaviors’, but we’ve been experiencing issues on this implementation.

Can you guys shed some light on this issue? Thanks a bunch!

Hey!

By default, Cloudflare prohibits a DNS CNAME record between domains in different Cloudflare accounts.

You need to follow the steps to configure SSL for SaaS.

If you are not an Enterprise customer, go to SSL/TLS > Custom Hostnames to enable Cloudflare for SaaS.

Take Care!
