Using the DRAC 5 With Microsoft Active Directory 155

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 it enables you to 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 or a fully qualified domain name of the server (FQDN).

The FQDN consists of the hostname and the domain name of the server.

To specify an LDAP server, type:

racadm config -g cfgActive Directory -o

cfgADDomainController <

fully qualified domain name

or IP address

To specify a Global Catalog server, type:

racadm config -g cfgActive Directory -o

cfgGlobalCatalog <

fully qualified domain name or

IP address

NOTE: If you specify the IP address as 0.0.0.0, DRAC 5 will not search for any

server.

NOTE: You can specify a list of LDAP or Global Catalog servers separated by

commas. DRAC 5 allows you to specify up to three IP addresses or

hostnames.

NOTE: If LDAPS is not correctly configured for all domains and applications,

enabling it may produce unexpected results during the functioning of the

existing applications/domains.

If DHCP is enabled on the DRAC 5 and you want to use the DNS

provided by the DHCP server, type the following racadm command:

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o
