WS-Man Settings
Validate Certificate
Name
If enabled, this ensures that inventory communications are conducted only with systems identifying
themselves based on a certificate that matches the address used to communicate with that system.
If the iDRAC certificate does not match the discovery address, then disable certificate name
validation for License Manager to communicate with iDRAC. However, if the certificate name is not
validated, License Manager cannot authenticate the identity of the remote system.
Validate Certificate
Authority
If enabled, this ensures that communications are conducted only with systems identifying
themselves based on a certificate issued by a trusted source. If the iDRAC certificate is not issued
by a trusted authority, then disable validation for License Manager to communicate with the
management controller. However, if the certificate authority is not validated, License Manager
cannot authenticate the identity of the remote system.
For validation, include a trusted certificate authority as part of the Trusted Root Certification
Authorities list in Microsoft Windows. For more information, see the Microsoft Windows
documentation.
Validate Certificate
Revocation List
If enabled, this ensures that communications are not conducted with a system identifying itself
using a certificate that is revoked. If the management console cannot communicate with a
certificate revocation list server, then disable this option to communicate with iDRAC. However, if
the certificate revocation list is not validated, License Manager cannot authenticate the identity of
the remote system.
Retries The number of communication retry attempts made if temporary WS-Man communication errors
occur before the deployment attempt fails. The default is 1 retry (2 total attempts).
Timeout The time within which the WS-Man host must begin to return data before the communication
attempt fails. The default is 30 seconds.
Port The HTTPS communication port configured on the iDRACs. The default port is 443. On this port,
ensure that the firewall settings allow HTTPS communication between the management station and
iDRACs.
