When accessing the iDRAC Web-based interface, a security warning is displayed stating that the SSL certificate host namedoes not match the iDRAC host name.iDRAC includes a default iDRAC server certificate to ensure network security while accessing through the Web-based interface andremote RACADM. When this certificate is used, the Web browser displays a security warning because the default certificate that isissued to iDRAC does not match the iDRAC host name (for example, the IP address).To resolve this, upload an iDRAC server certificate issued to the IP address or the iDRAC host name. When generating the CSR(used for issuing the certificate), make sure that the common name (CN) of the CSR matches the iDRAC IP address (if certificateissued to IP) or the registered DNS iDRAC name (if certificate is issued to iDRAC registered name).To make sure that the CSR matches the registered DNS iDRAC name:1. In iDRAC Web interface, go to Overview → iDRAC Settings → Network. The Network page is displayed.2. In the Common Settings section:• Select the Register iDRAC on DNS option.• In the DNS iDRAC Name field, enter the iDRAC name.3. Click Apply.Active DirectoryActive Directory login failed. How to resolve this?To diagnose the problem, on the Active Directory Configuration and Management page, click Test Settings. Review the testresults and fix the problem. Change the configuration and run the test until the test user passes the authorization step.In general, check the following:• While logging in, make sure that you use the correct user domain name and not the NetBIOS name. If you have a local iDRACuser account, log into iDRAC using the local credentials. After logging in, make sure that:– The Active Directory Enabled option is selected on the Active Directory Configuration and Management page.– The DNS setting is correct on the iDRAC Networking configuration page.– The correct Active Directory root CA certificate is uploaded to iDRAC if certificate validation was enabled.– The iDRAC name and iDRAC Domain name matches the Active Directory environment configuration if you are usingextended schema.– The Group Name and Group Domain Name matches the Active Directory configuration if you are using standard schema.– If the user and the iDRAC object is in different domain, then do not select the User Domain from Login option. Insteadselect Specify a Domain option and enter the domain name where the iDRAC object resides.• Check the domain controller SSL certificates to make sure that the iDRAC time is within the valid period of the certificate.Active Directory login fails even if certificate validation is enabled. The test results display the following error message. Whydoes this occur and how to resolve this?ERROR: Can't contact LDAP server, error:14090086:SSLroutines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed: Please check the correctCertificate Authority (CA) certificate has been uploaded to iDRAC. Please also check if theiDRAC date is within the valid period of the certificates and if the Domain ControllerAddress configured in iDRAC matches the subject of the Directory Server Certificate.If certificate validation is enabled, when iDRAC establishes the SSL connection with the directory server, iDRAC uses the uploadedCA certificate to verify the directory server certificate. The most common reasons for failing certification validation are:• iDRAC date is not within the validity period of the server certificate or CA certificate. Check the iDRAC time and the validityperiod of your certificate.291
