Abstract
Techniques are provided for proposing automatic corrections of online identifiers, such as an email address or a subject name of a directory entry or a certificate. In an embodiment, one or more computers store domain correction records. Each domain correction record comprises a misspelled domain name and candidate domain name corrections. The computers detect that an unprocessed online identifier is not contained in a plurality of known online identifiers. The unprocessed online identifier comprises a misspelled domain name. Each known online identifier of the plurality of known online identifiers comprises a domain name. The computers retrieve, based on the misspelled domain name of the unprocessed online identifier, from the plurality of domain correction records, a matching domain correction record having a same misspelled domain name as the unprocessed online identifiers. A client device displays the one or more candidate domain name corrections of the matching domain correction record.
