Delegate Subdomain to Azure via CNAME

votes

the company I’m working for provided me a subdomain. test.mycomp.com . I want to add it to my azure web app via custom domain.

The azure system recommends a CNAME delegation and provided me the information to enter web-zeudz-staging.azurewebsites.net in the dns management as CNAME.

After doing so and verifiying via DNS Lookup, Azure always gives me „Domain Ownership Error“. What can I do to make this work?

Is your DNS provider also a CDN provider, for example cloudflare? If so, turn off the CDN/proxy function so it's a DNS only record and try again.

If you don't have any control over the CDN function you can use txt record validation. Create your TXT record awverify.subdomain.test.mycomp.com with value web-zeudz-staging.azurewebsites.net and validate again. It should succeed.

There's also a CNAME awverify method but you need CDN disabled for that too.

I find it strange that your company doesn't have the option to enable/disabled CDN for any given DNS entry though.
