The DNS provider will manage TXT records at '_acme-challenge.targetdomain' instead of the certificate domain. Your configured DNS Provider must have write access to this target domain. For wildcard certificates, ensure the CNAME delegation covers the _acme-challenge label. This enables least-privilege setups or can be used as a workaround when the primary DNS provider lacks an API. Leave empty if your DNS Provider has a dedicated field for this.]]></help>
