72 Configuring the iDRAC6 Using the Web Interface
Timeout Specifies the time in seconds to wait for Active Directory
queries to complete. The default is 120 seconds.
Domain Controller
Server Address 1-3
(FQDN or IP)
Specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the
Domain Controller or the IP address. At least one of the 3
addresses is required to be configured. iDRAC attempts to
connect to each of the configured addresses one-by-one
until a successful connection is made. If extended schema is
selected, these are the addresses of the domain controllers
where the iDRAC device object and the Association objects
are located. If standard schema is selected, these are the
addresses of the domain controllers where the user accounts
and the role groups are located.
Certificate Validation
Enabled
iDRAC always uses Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) over Security Socket Layer (SSL) while
connecting Active Directory. By default, iDRAC uses the
CA certificated loaded in iDRAC to validate the Security
Socket Layer (SSL) server certificate of the domain
controllers during Security Socket Layer (SSL) handshake
and provides strong security. The certificate validation can
be disabled for testing purpose or the system Administrator
chooses to trust the domain controllers in the security
boundary without validating their Security Socket Layer
(SSL) certificates. This option specifies whether Certificate
validation is enabled or disabled.
Active Directory CA
Certificate
Certificate The certificate of the Certificate Authority that signs all
the domain controllers’ Security Socket Layer (SSL) server
certificate.
