iDRAC6 uses LDAP over Secure Socket Layer (SSL) while
connecting to Active Directory. By default, iDRAC6
provides strong security by using the CA certificate loaded
in iDRAC6 to validate the SSL server certificate of the
domain controllers during SSL handshake. Certificate
validation can be disabled for testing purposes.

To upload an Active Directory CA certificate, click Browse,
select the file, and click Upload. Ensure that the domain
controller’s SSL certificates have been signed by the same
CA and that this Certificate is available on the management

file path of the certificate you are uploading. If you choose
not to browse to the certificate, enter the file path which
includes the full path and the complete file name and file
extension.
