You can execute this operation no more than once per second.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  verify-domain-identity
--domain <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--domain (string)

The domain to be verified.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Examples

To verify a domain with Amazon SES

The following example uses the verify-domain-identity command to verify a domain:

aws ses verify-domain-identity --domain example.com

Output:

{
   "VerificationToken": "eoEmxw+YaYhb3h3iVJHuXMJXqeu1q1/wwmvjuEXAMPLE"
}

To complete domain verification, you must add a TXT record with the returned verification token to your domain’s DNS settings. For more information, see Verifying Domains in Amazon SES in the Amazon Simple Email Service Developer Guide.

Output

VerificationToken -> (string)

A TXT record that you must place in the DNS settings of the domain to complete domain verification with Amazon SES.

As Amazon SES searches for the TXT record, the domain’s verification status is “Pending”. When Amazon SES detects the record, the domain’s verification status changes to “Success”. If Amazon SES is unable to detect the record within 72 hours, the domain’s verification status changes to “Failed.” In that case, if you still want to verify the domain, you must restart the verification process from the beginning.
