Troubleshoot custom domains

When adding a new custom domain, no products appear in the Products dropdown.

This happens when you either don’t have a product that supports custom domains, or you have already configured a custom domain for every supported product.

You can only add a custom domain for Jira Service Management help center.

‘Unable to find matching CNAME records. Check your DNS entries for this domain’ error.

This error happens when we can’t detect one or all of the required CNAME records on your DNS.

Users will get a 404 error when trying to access your product using the custom domain.

To resolve this, make a note of the required records (you can get this from the details view), then check your DNS provider.

‘We suspended this domain because <reason>’ error.

These errors happen when we detect changes to your DNS that may be suspicious.

In some cases the changes may be legitimate, but we suspend your custom domain immediately as a precaution.

If the domain was suspended because a 3rd party certificate was created, you will need to delete the existing domain and create a new one, with a different fully qualified domain name. The suspended domain can’t be reused.

If the domain was suspended for some other reason, contact our support team for assistance.

Status is still ‘provisioned’ after records have been added to DNS provider.

Generally it takes several hours for DNS records to propagate, but may take longer depending on your DNS provider.

If the status has not changed to ‘inactive’ after 24-48 hours:

• Check that you’ve added all the required records correctly.

• Check whether your DNS uses CAA records to control which Certificate Authorities can issue certificates for your domain. You will need to add a CAA record for amazon.com to resolve this. Learn more about CAA problems

If the status is still Provisioned after 60 days we delete the custom domain request.

‘A certificate already exists for that domain’ error.

This error happens when we attempt to create the SSL certificate for your custom domain, but detect an existing one that matches the domain you specified.

Usually this is because a wildcard domain, such as *.example.com has been set up at your company. You may need to work with your network administrator to resolve this.

‘We’re unable to create the custom domain. This may be because the product is no longer available, or the domain is already in use’ error

This error can happen when something changes between selecting the product and entering your domain details, and creating the custom domain.

For example, the target product is removed, or its plan changed to Free , another admin creates a domain for the same product, or we detect that the fully qualified domain name is now in use.

Unable to assign a product to a custom domain or change the assigned product

You can only update the associated product if the custom domain is in ACTIVE, INACTIVE, or PROVISIONED status.

Trouble recreating a domain after it was deleted

Deleting a custom domain can take about ten minutes, and you won’t be able to recreate the domain, or assign the product to another domain until the process is complete.
