I'm trying to setup SSL certs with heroku and godaddy. I've successfully created a cert with LetsEncrypt, and have received this message
Your certificate has been added successfully. Update your application's DNS settings as follows
Domain Record Type DNS Target
─────────────────────── ─────────── ─────────────────────────────────────
secure.lockdownjobs.com CNAME secure.lockdownjobs.com.herokudns.com
www.lockdownjobs.com CNAME www.lockdownjobs.com.herokudns.com
The part I'm struggling with is DNS Target how in godaddy do I point the domain at the DNS target?

Navigate to the project folder from the terminal then type "heroku domains:add www.yourdomain.com". The domain name is the one purchased from GoDaddy. Next, log into your GoDaddy account and find the domains area in the upper left navigation tab. The domains tab will allow you to choose a domain then launch.
Does Heroku work with GoDaddy? Yes, Heroku can work with Godaddy by setting up a Custom Domain and configuring a DNS target to make your app accessible on this platform.
Just add the CNAME in Godaddy. Go to your domain, click on DNS File settings and add a new CNAME:
CNAME
www
Target
secure.lockdownjobs.com.herokudns.com
I recommend you read about how to add SSL certificate to Heroku: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ssl-endpoint#setting-up-ssl-on-heroku
And also the much easier way of doing it (Let Heroku do it): https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/automated-certificate-management
