DKIM TXT record value invalid

[msaadany]

Hi,

When trying to create a DKIM TXT record using the cloud console with the following data:
DNS Name: google._domainkey
TXT Data: v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAicoGS0ILA/EOQ+Pr+fTZmaAPdEBXXkfZRoSgVB6hiCBVAFWIFLq2YmGIkpyn5mnkXkGD1Kd8NNkA3jt5I1xRRLMLC7nzdcyIg6cecwDjS7aeLB6qdkO0bxA7diPX9NNpmUM14TPUK2wsCREPjKxJhn7+BahapZbq7A4KHYgP5+BpX/E2unuR08a/zd/9VUooi1IAoecLFfBK8LUz6u+HpTozSEFeU5aHg07PYJV3juxKdaRqi8F9K+7qsomTIreYn9tk+qLI79Ys+c9csK5NYv06P0y6wzcz18J/ExwS3NcHipDtCdgVk2xjlL7FfkbU5pGt9jiR9skVGkeRvzPUcQIDAQAB

I get and error in the TXT Data field > "Invalid record data".

Thank you

The console tokenizes TXT Data into strings for DNS wire format. Because of that the individual strings cannot exceed 255 characters in length, or "Invalid record data" results.

Your p= tag string is too long (394 characters). DKIM clients concatenate all of the strings in the client before parsing tags, so to workaround the limit all you need to do is add whitespace within the p= tag such that each string fits within the 255 character limit.

For example:

v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAicoGS0ILA/EOQ+Pr+fTZmaAPdEBXXkfZRoSgVB6hiCBVAFWIFLq2YmGIkpyn5mnkXkGD1Kd8NNkA3jt5I1xRRLMLC7nzdcyIg6cecwDjS7aeLB6qdkO0bxA7diPX9NNpmUM14TPUK2wsCREPjKxJhn7+BahapZbq7A4KHYgP5+BpX/E2unuR08a/zd/9VUooi1IAoecLFfBK8LUz6 u+HpTozSEFeU5aHg07PYJV3juxKdaRqi8F9K+7qsomTIreYn9tk+qLI79Ys+c9csK5NYv06P0y6wzcz18J/ExwS3NcHipDtCdgVk2xjlL7FfkbU5pGt9jiR9skVGkeRvzPUcQIDAQAB

I'm confused. I don't see any difference between the original post and your example. What do you mean by add whitespace? I add enter after the first line and it submits it. I can't seem to create line separations if that's what you mean by white space.

Hi. The fix was to simply use the space character inside the p= tag so that each space separated string does not exceed 255 characters.
