Importing the DRAC 5 Firmware SSL Certificate to All Domain Controllers’ Trusted
Certificate Lists
NOTE: If the DRAC 5 firmware SSL certificate is signed by a well-known CA, you do
not need to perform the steps described in this section.
NOTE: The following steps may vary slightly if you are using Windows 2000.
The DRAC 5 SSL certificate is the same certificate that is used for the DRAC 4
Web server. All DRAC 4 controllers are shipped with a default self-signed
certificate.
1
To access the certificate using the DRAC 5 Web-based interface, select
Configuration → Active Directory → Download DRAC 5 Server
Certificate
.
2 On the domain controller, open an MMC Console window and select
Certificates → Trusted Root Certification Authorities .
3 Right-click Certificates , select All Tasks and click Import .
4 Click Next and browse to the SSL certificate file.
5 Install the RAC SSL Certificate in each domain controller’s Trusted Root
Certification Authority
.
If you have installed your own certificate, ensure that the CA signing your
certificate is in the
Trusted Root Certification Authority list. If the CA is
not in the list, you must install it on all your Domain Controllers.
6 Click Next and select whether you would like Windows to automatically
select the certificate store based on the type of certificate, or browse to a
store of your choice.
7 Click Finish and click OK .
