Using iDRAC6 With Microsoft Active Directory 145
What should I check if I cannot log in to iDRAC6 using Active Directory?
First, diagnose the problem using the Test Settings feature. For directions,
see "My Active Directory log in failed. What do I do?"
Then, fix the specific problem indicated by the test results.
For additional
information, see "Testing Your Configurations."
Most common issues are explained in this section. However, in general,
you should check the following:
1
Ensure that you use the correct user domain name during a log in and not
the NetBIOS name.
2 If you have a local iDRAC6 user account, log in to iDRAC6 using your
local credentials.
3 Check the following settings:
a Navigate to the Active Directory Configuration and Management
screen. Select
System → Remote Access → iDRAC , click the Network/
Security
tab, and then click the Active Directory subtab.
b Ensure that the Active Directory Enabled check box is checked.
c If you enabled certificate validation, ensure that you have uploaded
the correct Active Directory root CA certificate to iDRAC6. The
certificate appears in the
Active Directory CA Certificate area.
Ensure that the iDRAC6 time is within the valid period of the CA
certificate.
d If you are using the Extended Schema, ensure that the iDRAC Name
and
iDRAC Domain Name match your Active Directory environment
configuration.
If you are using the Standard Schema, ensure that the
Group Name
and Group Domain Name match your Active Directory configuration.
e Navigate to the Network Configuration screen. Select System →
Remote Access
→ iDRAC , and then click Network/Security .
Ensure that the DNS settings are correct.
f Check the Domain Controller SSL certificates to ensure that the
iDRAC6 time is within the valid period of the certificate.
