User's Manual

Using the CMC With Microsoft Active Directory 235
Does using the CMC with
Active Directory support
multiple domain environments?
Yes. The domain forest function level must be
in Native mode or Windows 2003 mode.
In addition, the groups among Association
Object, RAC user objects, and RAC Device
Objects (including Association Object) must
be universal groups.
Can these Dell-extended
objects (Dell Association Object,
Dell RAC Device, and Dell
Privilege Object) be in
different domains?
The Association Object and the Privilege
Object must be in the same domain.
The Dell-extended Active Directory Users and
Computers Snap-In forces you to create these
two objects in the same domain. Other objects
can be in different domains.
Are there any restrictions
on Domain Controller
SSL configuration?
Yes. All SSL certificates for Active Directory
servers in the forest must be signed by the
same root certificate authority-signed
certificate, because CMC only allows you to
upload one trusted certificate authority-signed
SSL certificate.
I created and uploaded
anewRACcertificate and
now the Web interface
does not launch.
If you use Microsoft Certificate Services to
generate the RAC certificate, you may have
inadvertently chose User Certificate instead of
Web Certificate when creating the certificate.
To recover, generate a CSR, and then create a
new Web certificate from Microsoft
Certificate Services and upload it using the
following RACADM commands:
racadm sslcsrgen [-g]
[-f {filename}]
racadm sslcertupload -t 1 -f
{web_sslcert}
