Frequently Asked Questions about Network Security

When accessing the iDRAC6 Web-based interface, I get a security warning stating the hostname of the SSL certificate does not match the hostname of the iDRAC6.

The iDRAC6 includes a default iDRAC6 server certificate to ensure network security for the Web-based interface and remote RACADM features. When this certificate is used, the Web browser displays a security warning because the default certificate is issued to iDRAC6 default certificate which does not match the host name of the iDRAC6 (for example, the IP address).

To address this security concern, upload a iDRAC6 server certificate issued to the IP address or the iDRAC name of the iDRAC6. When generating the certificate signing request (CSR) to be used for issuing the certificate, ensure that the common name (CN) of the CSR matches the IP address
