142 Using iDRAC6 With Microsoft Active Directory
The iDRAC6 SSL certificate is the identical certificate used for the iDRAC6
Web server. All iDRAC6 controllers are shipped with a default self-signed
certificate.
To download the iDRAC6 SSL certificate, run the following RACADM
command:
racadm sslcertdownload -t 0x1 -f <RAC SSL certificate>
1
On the domain controller, open an MMC Console window and select
Certificates → Trusted Root Certification Authorities .
2 Right-click Certificates , select All Tasks and click Import .
3 Click Next and browse to the SSL certificate file.
4 Install the iDRAC6 SSL Certificate in each domain controller’s Trusted
Root Certification Authority
.
If you have installed your own certificate, ensure that the CA signing your
certificate is in the
Trusted Root Certification Authority list. If the
Authority is not in the list, you must install it on all your Domain Controllers.
5 Click Next and select whether you would like Windows to automatically
select the certificate store based on the type of certificate, or browse to a
store of your choice.
6 Click Finish and click OK .
