WS-Man Settings Dell License Manager uses the management controller WS-Man interface to obtain inventory
information.
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 Dell License Manager to communicate with iDRAC. However, if the certificate name is not validated,
Dell License Manager cannot authenticate the identity of the remote system.
Validate
Certificate
Authority
If enabled, this ensures that inventory 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 Dell License Manager to communicate with the
management controller. However, if the certificate authority is not validated, Dell 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, Dell 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 inventory 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. To save changes and proceed with discovery/inventory, click Next.
