Prerequisites for Using Active Directory Authentication for iDRAC7
To use the Active Directory authentication feature of iDRAC7, make sure that you have:
• Deployed an Active Directory infrastructure. See the Microsoft website for more information.
• Integrated PKI into the Active Directory infrastructure. iDRAC7 uses the standard Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
mechanism to authenticate securely into the Active Directory. See the Microsoft website for more information.
• Enabled the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) on all domain controllers that iDRAC7 connects to for authenticating to all
the domain controllers.

Enabling SSL on Domain Controller
When iDRAC7 authenticates users with an Active Directory domain controller, it starts an SSL session with the domain
controller. At this time, the domain controller must publish a certificate signed by the Certificate Authority (CA)—the root
certificate of which is also uploaded into iDRAC7. For iDRAC7 to authenticate to any domain controller—whether it is the
root or the child domain controller—that domain controller must have an SSL-enabled certificate signed by the domain’s
CA.
If you are using Microsoft Enterprise Root CA to automatically assign all your domain controllers to an SSL certificate,
you must:
1. Install the SSL certificate on each domain controller.
2. Export the Domain Controller Root CA Certificate to iDRAC7.
3. Import iDRAC7 Firmware SSL Certificate.
