Configuring Active Directory With Extended Schema Using RACADM

To configure a CMC Active Directory with Extended Schema by using the RACADM commands, oen a
command prompt and enter the following commands at the command prompt:
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADEnable 1
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADType 1
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADRacName <RAC common name>
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADRacDomain < fully qualified rac
domain name >
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADDomainController1 < fully qualified
domain name or IP Address of the domain controller >
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADDomainController2 < fully qualified
domain name or IP Address of the domain controller >
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADDomainController3 < fully qualified
domain name or IP Address of the domain controller >
NOTE: You must configure at least one of the three addresses. CMC attempts to connect to each of
the configured addresses one-by-one until it makes a successful connection. With Extended
Schema, these are the FQDN or IP addresses of the domain controllers where this CMC device is
located.
To disable the certificate validation during an handshake (optional):
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADCertValidationEnable 0
NOTE: In this case, you do not have to upload a CA certificate.
To enforce the certificate validation during SSL handshake (optional):
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADCertValidationEnable 1
In this case, you must upload a CA certificate:
racadm sslcertupload -t 0x2 -f < ADS root CA certificate >
NOTE: If certificate validation is enabled, specify the Domain Controller Server addresses and the
FQDN. Make sure that DNS is configured correctly under.
Using the following RACADM command may be optional:
racadm sslcertdownload -t 0x1 -f < RAC SSL certificate >
Configuring Generic LDAP Users
CMC provides a generic solution to support Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)-based
authentication. This feature does not require any schema extension on your directory services.
A CMC administrator can now integrate the LDAP server user logins with CMC. This integration requires
configuration on both LDAP server and CMC. On the LDAP server, a standard group object is used as a
role group. A user who has CMC access becomes a member of the role group. Privileges are still stored
