This article is only for customers using modusGate and wanting to created a DKIM record for their domain(s).
Steps:
1. Open modusGate conosle
2. Click on Security
3. Click on Domain keys
4. Click on Add button
5. Add the Domain name you want to create the DKIM for i.e: mydomain.com
6. Add the Selector name i.e.: AnyName
7. Click OK
8. Copy the whole string that is created after you click OK in STEP 7
9. Paste the content in a notepad (sample below )
myselector._domainkey.abc.com IN TXT ("p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADXRFCBiQKBgQDD0Opy25T/3R32+H4ncMs5Ja/y/Kz/AgD9W9xfM7t7Z32UJefdUEkuLshpXMCyHRxeBRJpj3mEV7wqWB1gEOVTCbEyCM3ii4Hlh0F2hySU9ViEWKCaq+KvBQrxEB2yiavHIuYcZb7V03kMXJKmCoxGL8kT3M0Laf+eDirkdqAmxwIDAQAB;")
10. Based on content of (Step 9) do the following:
a. Selector Name is the equivalent of HOST column (on your DNS registrar)
take the first line i.e. myselector._domainkey.abc.com and remove the (dot) and the domain name so it becomes like this : myselector._domainkey and this is the final value you will populate your HOST column in your DNS registrar
b. Domain Key Properties is the equivalent of VALUE column (on your DNS registrar)
Copy everything that is in between the double quotes ("") including the last semi column (;) and paste it in a separate line that is starting with v=DKIM1; k=rsa; t=s; m=core; so the full line should look like this:
v=DKIM1; k=rsa; t=s; n=core; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADXRFCBiQKBgQCYPkaU5400hvH/uRqi+wqWcYBGARdiYI+CJMJShQafesb27DM2cHWYCmgosHZRAmJN2bh7JdNOylM2OrhnyzEeYuhtWdXREYdU1RSxXbiMycRuKvNJAa4MQEllpJyioKh4gxhALTrmXtJB2L5suGfJc6aXlx3v4CnRe2UpMfDoDQIDAQAB;
11. so as of now we have the TWO DNS registrar fields:
Host = myselector._domainkey
Value = v=DKIM1; k=rsa; t=s; n=core; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADXRFCBiQKBgQCYPkaU5400hvH/uRqi+wqWcYBGARdiYI+CJMJShQafesb27DM2cHWYCmgosHZRAmJN2bh7JdNOylM2OrhnyzEeYuhtWdXREYdU1RSxXbiMycRuKvNJAa4MQEllpJyioKh4gxhALTrmXtJB2L5suGfJc6aXlx3v4CnRe2UpMfDoDQIDAQAB;
12. Navigate to your DNS registrar portal and create a new TXT record using the HOST and the VALUE in step 11
13. once you added the record as in STEP 12, allow few minutes for the propagation then verify from modusGate if your record is set correctly. to do so:
a. Go back to the modusGate console Security >Domains
b. Select your domain under domain key configuration section (in case you have multiple domains)
c. Click on Test DNS String button under domain key properties section
d. you should get a popup with "Test DNS string successfully" message
| Note: Please make sure to allow enough time to your DNS to push the updates before you test the string on modusGate |
