Not Authenticating
DNS records
After copying the DNS records found in the screenshot to Cloudflare, still I get error authenticating Follow Up Boss. Any idea?
This domain is NOT using Cloudflare name servers.
[…]
Because your domain does not use Cloudflare name servers, any changes you’re trying to make through Cloudflare won’t propagate at all.
Contact your authoritative DNS provider, - which seems to be Go Daddy (with the two name servers, ns19.domaincontrol.com and ns20.domaincontrol.com), and ask them for further advice on how to set up the mentioned DNS record(s) from their end.
Hi DarkDevil. I apologize. The concerned domain is sanderscott.com, not livingintraversecitymichiganarea.com.
and sanderscott.com is using Cloudflare nameservers.
We’ve already tried authenticating other platforms such as Constant Contact and ClickFunnels with no problem at all. We only encounter much delay with Followup Boss.
No worries, - that mistake is changing it a bit though:
For the first one, the one that is named “878._domainkey”, you’re actually having two DNS records, with that name.
A DNS lookup gives these:
$ dig TXT 878._domainkey.sanderscott.com
878._domainkey.sanderscott.com. 300 IN TXT "k=rsa; t=s; \010 p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDrkQX7ItIbA2MsTR2qFgIjNIDpyHwF9JqCMib6QwcSpvzTseZgkWoE2d/U+BK4t4XfyrL+U7p+aUfVX2pIvz6cqsg2PLJKtoYJImpbvSdCLhRpkfR1YY28qpBd/lh84eakHEWVMzgqpCtrD1PndQZ2ovn5auT405NXRWIAdKITJwIDAQAB"
878._domainkey.sanderscott.com. 300 IN TXT "k=rsa;t=s;p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDrkQX7ItIbA2MsTR2qFgIjNIDpyHwF9JqCMib6QwcSpvzTseZgkWoE2d/U+BK4t4XfyrL+U7p+aUfVX2pIvz6cqsg2PLJKtoYJImpbvSdCLhRpkfR1YY28qpBd/lh84eakHEWVMzgqpCtrD1PndQZ2ovn5auT405NXRWIAdKITJwIDAQAB"
Other than that, if we’re looking away from “878._domainkey”, everything else seems to be configured exactly as in your screenshot.
So I will suggest you to verify these two DNS records, and then delete the incorrect one.
They are actually the same records. One was added manually. The other was via automation (Entri). I already deleted the latter, which no space/s. Im not really sure what exactly is the error, since as you’ve mentioned, everything looks exactly configured. But, the FUB still isn’t authenticated even after redoing it for the nth time.
I guess it just appears that way, due to a display issue:
The actual DNS record is now reading:
$ dig TXT 878._domainkey.sanderscott.com
878._domainkey.sanderscott.com. 300 IN TXT "k=rsa; \010 t=s; \010 p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDrkQX7ItIbA2MsTR2qFgIjNIDpyHwF9JqCMib6QwcSpvzTseZgkWoE2d/U+BK4t4XfyrL+U7p+aUfVX2pIvz6cqsg2PLJKtoYJImpbvSdCLhRpkfR1YY28qpBd/lh84eakHEWVMzgqpCtrD1PndQZ2ovn5auT405NXRWIAdKITJwIDAQAB"
I suspect the two “\010” may have been due to a copy-paste error.
Can you click “[Edit]”, and see if you can get them away?
Alternatively, if they are not showing up, then try replacing the contents of the text box with this:
k=rsa;t=s;p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDrkQX7ItIbA2MsTR2qFgIjNIDpyHwF9JqCMib6QwcSpvzTseZgkWoE2d/U+BK4t4XfyrL+U7p+aUfVX2pIvz6cqsg2PLJKtoYJImpbvSdCLhRpkfR1YY28qpBd/lh84eakHEWVMzgqpCtrD1PndQZ2ovn5auT405NXRWIAdKITJwIDAQAB
Done. Thanks.
Should there be no space between ; and t, and ; and p?
According to the Internet standards, the space(s) between the “key=value” pairs, as in your example, shouldn’t matter.
However, if it was in the middle of a value, e.g. “k=r sa” instead of “k=rsa”, things would likely break.
That said, -
Bad implementations have been seen before, - so I won’t be able to guarantee how strict Follow Up Boss’s (or anyone else’s) systems may have been made, in regards to that, and whether they break with (or without) them.
Copy. It will take 48 hours to verify. Will update you once there’s still action required. Thanks a lot!
Hi there,
I have an update. There is still an error. Still not authenticated. Don’t know whats wrong really.
Have you asked Follow Up Boss about what they see from their end?
