Full Description:
As of July 1, 2024 Cornell will no longer support email-based validation for new or renewing certificates from AWS Certificate Manager, for certificates in cornell.edu, cucloud.net and other domains managed by the Cornell DNS database (DNSDB). DNS-based validation has been available from AWS Certificate Manager since 2017, and is a much more secure and efficient validation process compared to email-based validation. Cornell AWS customers that have existing email-validated certificates from AWS already have been contacted directly about the need to switch to DNS-validated certificates before their current email-validated certificates expire. More details available here.
