Configuring the DRAC 4 with Extended Schema Active Directory and

Feature with Extended Schema using the racadm CLI instead of the
Web-based interface.

racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADEnable

racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADType

racadm sslcertupload -t 0x2 -f <

If you want to specify an LDAP or Global Catalog server instead of using
the servers returned by the DNS server to search for a user name, type the
following command to enable the
Specify Server option:
racadm config -g cfgActive Directory -o
cfgADSpecifyServer Enable 1
NOTE: If you use this option, the hostname in the CA certificate is not
matched against the name of the specified server. This is particularly useful if
you are a DRAC administrator because you can enter a hostname as well as
an IP address.
After the Specify Server option is enabled, you can specify an LDAP server
with an IP address as well as a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the
server. The FQDN consists of the hostname and the domain name of the
server.
