3.2 WS-Man Security and Time Parameters
3.2.1 Encryption Certificate Security
For the WinRM 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, add the following command line options to all WinRM examples:
–skipCACheck and -skipCNCHeck.
Additionally, the following error may result if the end point does not support this feature. Use the switch -
skiprevocationcheck to bypass this error.
WSManFault
Message = The server certificate on the destination computer (10.35.0.232:443) has the following errors:
The SSL certificate could not be checked for revocation. The server used to check for revocation might be
unreachable.
Refer to the WinRM documentation 4 and related documentation for directions on setting up encryption
certificates for WinRM and executing WinRM invocations using full security capabilities. Refer to the
Lifecycle Controller User Guide 1 for directions on configuring different encryption certificates for the
iDRAC Web server. 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 sending from other systems
 Wait for a few seconds and re-try the WSMAN command
