Adding domains

FortiPhish uses DNS tokens to verify you are the domain owner. Create the token in FortiPhish, and then add it to your domain's DNS settings. After the DNS settings are configured, verify the token in FortiPhish.

To add a domain:
  1. Go to Domains.

  2. In the Domain Name field, enter the domain address. For example, domain.com.
  3. Click Add Domain. FortiPhish generates a DNS token.

To add the token to your domain:
  1. Log in to your domain.
  2. Go to the domain settings, and navigate to the DNS management area.
  3. Change the text record setting to TXT.
  4. Enter the token you created in FortiPhish.
  5. Test the token with nslookup.
Note

DNS settings will vary depending on your domain provider. For information, refer to the product documentation.

The following images shows the DNS settings in AWS.

To test the token with the command prompt:

nslookup

set type=text

<domain.com>

Example:

C:\Users\Admin_>nslookup

Default Server: dns.google

Address 8.8.8.8

>set type=txt

>yourdomain.com

Server: dns.google

Address 8.8.8.8

<token>

Note

DNS propagation delay can take up to 48 hours. Please allow some time for the DNS token to be reflected in the DNS cache.

To verify the token in FortiPhish:
  1. Go to Domains.
  2. Under Actions, click the Verify button. The domain Status changes to a green check mark.
