DKIM field only 512 chars; need the instructions for using tokens to fill the field

Hello there,

First, make sure that you can use a 2048 key without the need of splitting it in half in order to take effect. Usually, your DNS provider can help you if you reach out to their support.

Once created you can use a DKIM checker tool like the one provided from mxtoolbox and check whether the generated key is valid.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex

Note this only works for 2048 bits and obviously smaller. Are you trying to do 4096 bits? Otherwise everything looks OK.

At the moment, 2048 is considered adequate. That said, Digital Ocean needs to come up with a better scheme to enter the DKIM field. You can’t cut and paste using any browser I have. This API is the only thing that works, and even then you can’t do 4096 bits.

Hi!

I have tried to run the following:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer MY_API_KEY" -d '{"type":"TXT","name":"default._domainkey","data":"v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFxxxxAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA878VxxxxtiPjkstRU+yUjwo1yMfn/wkEUt/sHOpYdhDGxrLULnGDyHdx/xxxfF7qikvCbcwkc3Ok5xxxx+9MIFmNDSQr3W6wzdrp9u8vqxxxDVmNRcdPiZkGTO4V6uuUDPICfkUcjWBOs+gyKAe6kn/ZsLVSVDLA+xxxSZoLLHEe7bBs2zn1S1i+texxxQs+tsISt442RxxxgAQ8glVKM0ETlw4z5SO9qYChmavLx2FZvPdG/T2KwzVQzQ6kd9XdaAjsOYrdmPLGciyG6+Uh6B0or0z5snTWq+FQTzetJUKs3faG51IL6RbbGvoiU0oI5KfGu/+SDMgOV6Pnlv17QIDAQAB\;","priority":null,"port":null,"ttl":1800,"weight":null,"flags":null,"tag":null}' "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains/stellenhost.net/records"

This returned the error:

{"id":"bad_request","message":"Your request body was malformed."}

I have replaced some characters in the DKIM record with x’s (and my api key with MY_API_KEY)

If someone could assist me, I would really appreciate that!

I have deleted the original record, in case that was causing an error somehow.

Regards
