Custom Domain Validation on Azure Front Door

Question

It has been more than 24 hours since I plugged in my custom domain on Azure Front Door but it keeps saying validation state pending even though through nslookup I see the CNAME being shown in the dns.google

Hello Dhruv

If you are using Azure FrontDoor premium/standard, can you try doing a nslookup for your TXT record and see if it is propagating and also validate that you have entered the correct record value in azure portal. You can try this command nslookup -type=TXT dnsauth.<your_subdomain>. If TXT record does not show up, please check with your DNS service provider. Alternatively, you can also use this website to lookup your TXT record. As documented here If it is in ‘Pending’ even after the TXT record is updated in the DNS provider, please try to click ‘Regenerate’ to refresh the TXT record and add the TXT record to your DNS provider again.

In the Azure Portal, try regenerating the TXT or CNAME records and updating them in your DNS provider. This often resolves stuck validation states.

Also, please share your custom domain name in a private message so we can verify it with our team internally.
