Amazon SES - Registry.br DNS Server domain verification

Question

I am using the DNS service of the.br registry, I did a domain verification through the SES that asked me to insert the following code in the TXT line:

/xYz24aNPG4mH2k+amyZer8aDRdqcyQ9ZWZ2w1Fcn6w=

However, when trying to insert it into the DNS of the.br record the following "replace":

/xYz24aNPG4mH2kamyZer8aDRdqcyQ9ZWZ2w1Fcn6w=

And Amazon can’t verify my domain, how can I resolve this issue?

OBS: the sign of + (plus, plus) is what goes missing from the TXT

OBS2: this is not the real number generated by Amazon SES

Answer 1

Always insert TXT records between double quotes.

Add as follows:

"/xYz24aNPG4mH2k+amyZer8aDRdqcyQ9ZWZ2w1Fcn6w="

and check the result using dig:

dig seudominio.com.br TXT

If you are using aws, I recommend using the route53.

Answer 2

the.br record does not allow symbols like the +, neither quotes, nor several other characters, only Letters, Digits and Hifem (LDH). Below an email I sent on 09/06/2014 to there and the return:

ME:

Good morning,

I am trying to create a TXT record to enter DKIM information, but the.br registry editor does not allow you to type superscript ("_") and or semicolon (";"). How can I enter the following entry?

domain: immobiliariaxxx.com.br key: Mandrill. _domainkey type: TXT value: v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=Migfma0gcsqgsib3dqebaquaa4gnadcbiqkbgqcrlhiexvd55zd/IQ/J/mRwSRMAocV/hMB3jXwaHH36d9NaVynQFYV8NaWi69c1djDSAQzGt7yAioXqLj7Z4D2SAoOLgrKsn8YnckGs9i3B3tVFB+Ch/4mPhXiNfNdynHWBcPcbJ8kjEQ2U8y78dHZj1eRXXXVvYob2aKynOaKyn8/lQIDAQAQAB;

Dear Mr.,

Our servers provide a basic service per hour only supports basic DNS (LDH - letters, digits and hyphen) even "Labels" in the "Advanced" configuration interface.

The solution for this case, of more advanced use of DNS, is the delegation from the domain to other DNS servers where you have full control of the "zone".

Sincerely yours,

as they themselves said, for these cases have to use other DNS Provider, as the Route53 or even create a basic account in the service of cheaper hosting as you find, as the Kinghost (it is not to use the hosting itself, only for DNS management, but it is already as a bonus the hosting). Cloudfare does this service for free and is relatively well known, but I don’t know what the cons of using it are (It may be that you pass an idea of amateur site if your site falls and appears in place, or that in the future they put a banner on your site, or that access is routed to their server, harming latency, etc - I do not know).

But I strongly recommend sending an email to the.br record, so that they see that this is a real demand and so they have this feature of putting "special" characters (characters other than HDL).

I hope in the future this my post can be removed or updated with the news that Registro.br supports extra-LDH characters, but until then we can only complain with them and use another service.
