Dell iDRAC8 Uploading Server Certificate

After the CA approves the CSR and issues the SSL server certificate, it can be uploaded to iDRAC. The

information used to generate the CSR, stored on the iDRAC firmware, must match the information

contained in the SSL server certificate, that is, the certificate must have been generated using the CSR

created by iDRAC.

Generating CSR Using Web Interface

To generate a new CSR:

NOTE: Each new CSR overwrites any previous CSR data stored in the firmware. The information in

the CSR must match the information in the SSL server certificate. Else, iDRAC does not accept the

certificate.

1. In the iDRAC Web interface, go to Overview → iDRAC Settings → Network → SSL, select Generate

Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and click Next.

The Generate a New Certificate Signing Request page is displayed.

2. Enter a value for each CSR attribute.

For more information, see iDRAC Online Help.

3. Click Generate.

A new CSR is generated. Save it to the management station.

Generating CSR Using RACADM

To generate a CSR using RACADM, use the objects in the cfgRacSecurity group with the config command

or use the objects in the iDRAC.Security group with the set command, and then use the sslcsrgen

command to generate the CSR. For more information, see the iDRAC8 RACADM Command Line

Interface Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.

Uploading Server Certificate

After generating a CSR, you can upload the signed SSL server certificate to the iDRAC firmware. iDRAC

must be reset to apply the certificate. iDRAC accepts only X509, Base 64 encoded Web server certificates.

SHA-2 certificates are also supported.

CAUTION: During reset, iDRAC is not available for a few minutes.
