Unable to setup DKIM TXT-Value as DNS-Record
I have a domain name which DNS is edited via Google Cloud DNS. And I have a Google Apps for Work Account with that domain name.
I wanted to set up DKIM-authentication but when I try to save the corresponding TXT-Record I get the error that the Tag is invalid.
I did the same before and it worked perfectly. I checked the old setup and I saw that the old DKIM-record was about half the length. The new one seems to be too long for a TXT-record in the Google Cloud Platform.
Does anyone have a solution?
Answer
yeah, you have to split the record as described in this article:

If your domain provider limits the size of the TXT record value to 255 characters, you can't enter the DKIM key as a single entry in the DNS records. In this case, split the key into multiple quoted text strings and enter them together in the TXT record value field. For example, split the DKIM key into two parts as follows:
"v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAraC3pqvqTkAfXhUn7Kn3JUNMwDkZ65ftwXH58anno/bElnTDAd/idk8kWpslrQIMsvVKAe+mvmBEnpXzJL+0LgTNVTQctUujyilWvcONRd/z37I34y6WUIbFn4ytkzkdoVmeTt32f5LxegfYP4P/w7QGN1mOcnE2Qd5SKIZv3Ia1p9d6uCaVGI8brE/7zM5c/" "zMthVPE2WZKA28+QomQDH7ludLGhXGxpc7kZZCoB5lQiP0o07Ful33fcED73BS9Bt1SNhnrs5v7oq1pIab0LEtHsFHAZmGJDjybPA7OWWaV3L814r/JfU2NK1eNu9xYJwA8YW7WosL45CSkyp4QeQIDAQAB"
The two quoted strings have to stay on the same line - in the same box in the Cloud DNS interface rather than in two separate boxes.
