What can I do if I cannot log into the DRAC 5
using Active Directory authentication? How do I
troubleshoot the issue?
1 Ensure that you use the correct user domain name during a
login and not the NetBIOS name.
2 If you have a local DRAC user account, log into the DRAC 5
using your local credentials.
After you are logged in, perform the following steps:
a Ensure that you have checked the Enable Active Directory
box on the DRAC 5 Active Directory configuration page.
b Ensure that the DNS setting is correct on the DRAC 5
Networking configuration page.
c Ensure that you have uploaded the Active Directory
certificate from your Active Directory root CA to the
DRAC 5.
d Check the Domain Controller SSL certificates to ensure that
they have not expired.
e Ensure that your DRAC 5 Name , Root Domain Name , and
DRAC 5 Domain Name match your Active Directory
environment configuration.
f Ensure that the DRAC 5 password has a maximum of 127
characters. While the DRAC 5 can support passwords of up
to 256 characters, Active Directory only supports passwords
that have a maximum length of 127 characters.
