Enabling SSL on a Domain Controller
When the DRAC 5 authenticates users against an Active Directory domain
controller, it starts an SSL session with the domain controller. At this time,
the domain controller should publish a certificate signed by the Certificate
Authority (CA)—the root certificate of which is also uploaded into the
DRAC 5. In other words, for DRAC 5 to be able to authenticate to any
domain controller—whether it is the root or the child domain controller—
that domain controller should have an SSL-enabled certificate signed by the
domain’s CA.
