3.2 WS-Man Security and Time Parameters
3.2.1 Encryption Certificate Security
For the WS-Man examples provided in this document, the strict checks of certificates such as
matching of CNs (Common Names) and verification with the actual CA (Certificate Authority) of the
certificate of the WS-Management protocol HTTPS encryption certificate is assumed to be already
configured and enabled. To disable the strict certificate checking, run the following command line
options to all WS-Man examples: –v and –V.
For more information about directions on setting up encryption certificates and executing WS-Man
invocations using full security capabilities for WS-Man, see the WS-Man documentation4 and related
documents. For more information about directions on configuring different encryption certificates for
the iDRAC Web server, see the Lifecycle Controller User Guide1. Dell recommends that the full
security and encryption capabilities of the WS- Management protocol is used for production level
utilization of the Lifecycle Controller Web services interfaces.
3.2.2 Handling Invalid Responses from WS-Man Commands
Check the network connection to make sure that the system is connected
Check the WS-Man syntax to ensure there are no typos in the command line
Check if there are other WS-Man commands sent from other systems
Wait for a few seconds and re-try running the WS-Man command
3.2.3 Improving WS-Man Enumeration Performance
Enumeration configuration only available for winRM.
3.2.4 Specifying
StartTime, Until
Time, and
TIME_NOW
Parameters
The several methods that attach a virtual USB device to the target system accept a StartTime and Until
parameter. The parameter data type is CIM date-time. If the StartTime parameter is null the action
will not be started. If the Until parameter is null, the default value will be 17 hours. The date-time
data
type is defined in the CIM Infrastructure Specification
