Additional Tasks You Can Perform With Dell Lifecycle Controller

Integration

Configuring Security

To configure security for DLCI, you must:

• Validate a Dell factory-issued Client Certificate on (iDRAC). For more information, see Validating A Dell Factory-

Issued Client Certificate On The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller For Auto-Discovery.

• Pre-authorize systems for auto-discovery. For more information, see Pre-authorizing Systems For Auto-Discovery.

• Change administrative credentials. For more information, see Changing The Administrative Credentials Used By Dell

Lifecycle Controller Integration For Configuration Manager.

You can also use the GUI to configure the security. For more information, see Using The Graphical User Interface.

Validating a Dell Factory-Issued Client Certificate on the Integrated Dell Remote Access

Controller for Auto-Discovery

This security option requires that a system being discovered by the provisioning website during the discovery and

handshake process has a valid factory-issued client certificate which is deployed to the Integrated Dell Remote Access

Controller. This feature is enabled by default. To disable the feature, run the following command:

[C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\DPS\ProvisionWS\bin\import.exe –CheckCertificate false

NOTE: By default, the CheckCertificate value is set to true. Ensure that you set the CheckCertificate value to false

if you are not using unique certificates.

Pre-authorizing Systems for Auto-Discovery

This security option checks the service tag of the system being discovered against a list of authorized service tags you

have imported. To import the authorized service tags, create a file containing a comma-separated list of service tags,

and import the file by running the following command:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\DPS\ProvisionWS\bin\import.exe -add [file_with_comma_delimited_service_tags].

Running the command creates a record for each service tag in the repository file [Program Files]\Dell\DPS\Bin

\Repository.xml.

This feature is disabled by default. To enable this authorization check, run the following command:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\DPS\ProvisionWS\bin\import.exe –CheckAuthorization false.
