سجل CAA
Certificate Authority Authorization — declares which CAs are allowed to issue certs for your domain.
ما هو سجل CAA؟
CAA (RFC 6844, updated by RFC 8659) is a guard rail: it tells public CAs which authorities may issue TLS certificates for your domain. Modern CAs must check CAA before issuance — a misconfigured CAA blocks renewal.

Letting CAA expire or pointing it at a CA you no longer use will silently fail certificate renewal. Always test with Let's Encrypt staging or a CAA lint tool before tightening.
