[cabfpub] Ballot 169 - Revised Validation Requirements

[Ben Wilson]

Geoff,
That proposal (to replace "Authorization Domain Name" with "FQDN" in the body of proposed subsection 3.2.2.4.6) was considered and rejected by the working group.
Cheers,
Ben

I guess you could change “Authorization Domain Name” to “FQDN”, so the start of 3.2.2.4.6 would read:

Confirming the Applicant's control over the requested FQDN by confirming one of the following under the "/.well-known/pki-validation" directory, or another path registered with IANA for the purpose of Domain Validation, on the FQDN that is accessible by the CA via HTTP/HTTPS over an Authorized Port: 

That is, if you’re validating shop.example.com, the web site change has to actually be at shop.example.com, it will not suffice to make the change at example.com.

Another alternative would be to at least require HTTPS on port 443 if you’re validating at other than the FQDN:

Confirming the Applicant's control over the requested FQDN by confirming one of the following under the "/.well-known/pki-validation" directory, or another path registered with IANA for the purpose of Domain Validation, on the FQDN that is accessible by the CA via HTTP/HTTPS over an Authorized Port, or on the Authorization Domain Name via HTTPS over port 443:
