In this method, you set up a redirect on your HTTP server using the URLs we provide. This method is available for hosts (single hostnames).

Use this method when:

• You don’t have access to a DNS zone.
• You’re using multiple CDNs. In this Multi-CDN scenario, you need to manage domain validation through URLs on the origin server.

Don't use this method when:

• You want to validate a domain with a WILDCARD or DOMAIN validation scope.
• You don’t want to manually obtain the new challenge tokens from ​​Akamai​ and add them to your origin server.

How to

To validate a domain using HTTP redirects, first submit your domain for validation in Domain Ownership Manager and then update your server configuration.

2. Update your HTTP configuration

1. View the domain details.
2. In Domain validation details, navigate to the HTTP redirect tab and copy the Source URL and Destination URL values with the challenge token.
3. On your HTTP server, create a HTTP 301 redirect using the URLs from the Domain Ownership Manager's UI.

Check the domain status to monitor the validation progress. After it completes, your domain status changes to Validated.
