Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any restrictions on Domain Controller SSL configuration?
Yes. All Active Directory servers’ SSL certificates in the forest must be signed
by the same root CA since DRAC 5 only allows uploading one trusted CA
SSL certificate.
I created and uploaded a new RAC certificate and now the Web-based
interface does not launch.
If you use Microsoft Certificate Services to generate the RAC certificate, one
possible cause of this is you 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 load it using the RACADM CLI from the
managed system by using the following racadm commands:
racadm sslcsrgen [-g] [-u] [-f {filename}]
racadm sslcertupload -t 1 -f {web_sslcert}
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:
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.
