Hi,

 

We have a domain to which we are adding a SAN from a validated Sectigo integration.We have several domains in the SAN that are not in the same domain as the Common Name but has worked fine up until now. We are using the repo:
GitHub - svalgaard/certbot-dns-infoblox: Infoblox DNS Authenticator plugin for Certbot

 

We are seeing issues when the routine is executed to validate the domain by inserting a text record into the zone in question. The SAN domain being added is a sub domain. The routine in question is https://github.com/svalgaard/certbot-dns-infoblox/blob/main/certbot_dns_infoblox/dns_infoblox.py and specifically:

def _perform(self, domain, validation_name, validation):
        txt = infoblox_client.objects.TXTRecord.create(
            **self._get_infoblox_record(validation_name, validation, True)
        )
        self.infotxts.append(txt)

The error generated is:

infoblox_client.exceptions.InfobloxCannotCreateObject: Cannot create 'record:txt' object(s): b'{ "Error": "AdmConDataError: None (IBDataConflictError: IB.Data.Conflict:The action is not allowed. A parent was not found.)", \n  "code": "Client.Ibap.Data.Conflict", \n  "text": "The action is not allowed. A parent was not found."\n}' [code 400]

The zone and subzone definitely exist and can be queried using excerpts from the above script , and the request is in FQDN format under the name variable.

 

Anyone experienced this before?
