azure bicep deploy custom domain conflict-CodePudding

I am deploying azure front door using bicep. It is erroring out

We couldn't create your custom domain. Another custom domain with the same host name already exists

we cannot delete the existing domains because we already added the _dnsauth record

is there a way around this?

CodePudding user response：

Delete the existing domains because we already added the _dnsauth record?

Yes, we can delete existing domain associations first; later, we'll need to update TXT records on the provider's DNS side with the new domain. If we add without specifying a CNAME, we will receive this message.

A CNAME record for '.com' that points to '.azurefd.net' could not be found. Before you can associate a domain with this Front Door, you need to create a CNAME record with your DNS provider for 'chfrontdrtestdemo.com' that points to '.azurefd.net'.**

is there a way around this?

Yes, we have a workaround. First, we need to delete the existing domain association, and later we need to add a new CNAME entry. After that, we need to add the new domain association along with the txt entry mentioned below.

Step1: Delete the existing domain association from Front Door enter image description here

Step2: Add new domain association and register the same with DNS provider.. enter image description here

NOTE: During the domain validation process. If "Validation state" is "Pending" and when we click on that link, it turns into "Validate the custom domain." The panel gives the information for the DNS record required in order to validate the domain. It's a TXT record for _dnsauth.>.>.com with a specific record value. We should register this TXT record value at the DNS provider; otherwise, it won't be successful.
