Add DNS record to uk.osgeo.org for BlueSky verification

[Nick Bearman]

Hi, We have a Blue Sky account - @osgeouk.bsky.social, ​https://bsky.app/profile/osgeouk.bsky.social and we can get the account verified to our domain.

To do this we need to add the following DNS record to the domain:

Host: _atproto Type: TXT Value: did=did:plc:zr6752kelaiur55tmz4t4mhp

Instructions are at ​https://bsky.social/about/blog/4-28-2023-domain-handle-tutorial

If you need more info, please let me know.

Best wishes, Nick.

Nick,

I added the record, but I think since uk is a subdomain the host has to be

uk._atproto

Anyway give it a try and see if it works. Feel free reopen this ticket if it doesn't work

Thanks Regina.

I'd not realised that I needed to put the domain name in, so the request should have been:

Add the following DNS record to your domain: Host: _atproto Type: TXT Value: did=did:plc:zr6752kelaiur55tmz4t4mhp

This should create a domain record at: _atproto.uk.osgeo.org

Currently it says Unable to resolve handle.

Can you give it another try now? I think I had it backward before.

Thanks Regina - yes it all works! :-D
