    • BR_3_2_2_4_2

      public static final DcvMethod BR_3_2_2_4_2
      Email to Domain Contact.
      This method involves sending an email to a domain contact, as listed in the WHOIS database for the domain. The email will contain a random value that the recipient can use to confirm control over the domain.

    • BR_3_2_2_4_4

      public static final DcvMethod BR_3_2_2_4_4
      Constructed Email to Domain Contact.

      This method involves sending an email to a constructed address based on the domain, such as [email protected]. The email will contain a random value that the recipient can use to confirm control over the domain.

      The constructed emails are:

      • admin@
      • administrator@
      • webmaster@
      • hostmaster@
      • postmaster@

    • BR_3_2_2_4_7

      public static final DcvMethod BR_3_2_2_4_7
      DNS Change.

      This method requires the domain owner to create a specific DNS record. The presence of a random value or request token in the record is then verified to confirm control over the domain.

    • BR_3_2_2_4_14

      public static final DcvMethod BR_3_2_2_4_14
      Email to DNS Txt Contact.

      This method involves sending an email to an address specified in a DNS TXT record. The DNS TXT record must be located at _validation-contactemail.<domain>. The email will contain a random value that the recipient can use to confirm control over the domain.

    • BR_3_2_2_4_18

      public static final DcvMethod BR_3_2_2_4_18
      Agreed-Upon Change to Website v2.

      This method requires the domain owner to place a random value or request token in a specific file at a predetermined location on their web server. The presence of this file containing the given random value or request token confirms control over the FQDN.
