Importing the iDRAC6 Firmware SSL Certificate

NOTE: If the Active Directory Server is set to authenticate the client during an SSL session initialization phase, you need to upload the iDRAC6 Server certificate to the Active Directory Domain controller as well. This additional step is not required if the Active Directory does not perform a client authentication during an SSL session’s initialization phase.

Use the following procedure to import the iDRAC6 firmware SSL certificate to all domain controller trusted certificate lists.

NOTE: If your system is running Windows 2000, the following steps may vary.

NOTE: If the iDRAC6 firmware SSL certificate is signed by a well-known CA and the certificate of that CA is already in the domain controller's Trusted Root Certificate Authority list, you are not required to perform the steps in this section.

The iDRAC6 SSL certificate is the identical certificate used for the iDRAC6 Web server. All iDRAC controllers are shipped with a default self-signed certificate.

To download the iDRAC6 SSL certificate, run the following RACADM command:

racadm sslcertdownload -t 0x1 -f <RAC SSL certificate>

1On the domain controller, open an MMC Console window and select CertificatesTrusted Root Certification Authorities.

2Right-click Certificates, select All Tasks and click Import.

3Click Next and browse to the SSL certificate file.

4Install the iDRAC6 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 Authority is not in the list, you must install it on all your domain controllers.

5Click 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.

6Click Finish and click OK.
