Configuring Active Directory With Extended Schema Using RACADM

To configure the CMC Active Directory with Extended Schema using the RACADM:
  1. Open a serial/Telnet/SSH text console to CMC, log in, and type: 
    racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADEnable 1
                                    racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADType 1
                                    racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
                                    cfgADRacDomain <fully qualified CMC domain name>
                                    racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
                                    cfgADRootDomain <fully qualified root domain name>
                                    racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
                                    cfgADRacName <CMC common name>
                                    racadm sslcertupload -t 0x2 -f <ADS root CA
                                    certificate> -r
                                    racadm sslcertdownload -t 0x1 -f <CMC SSL certificate>
    • NOTE: You can use this command through remote RACADM only. For more information on remote RACADM, see Chassis Management Controller for Dell PowerEdge M1000e RACADM Command Line Reference Guide .
    Optional: If you want to specify an LDAP or Global Catalog server instead of using the servers returned by the DNS server to search for a user name, type the following command to enable the Specify Server option: 
    racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
                                       cfgADSpecifyServerEnable 1
    • NOTE: When you use the Specify Server option, the host name in the certificate authority-signed certificate is not matched against the name of the specified server. This is particularly useful if you are a CMC administrator, because it enables you to enter a host name as well as an IP address.

    After you enable the Specify Server option, you can specify an LDAP server and global catalog with IP addresses or fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) of the servers. The FQDNs consist of the host names and the domain names of the servers.

    To specify an LDAP server, type: 
    racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
                                       cfgADDomainController <AD domain controller IP address>
    To specify a Global Catalog server, type: 
    racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o
                                       cfgADGlobalCatalog <AD global catalog IP address>
    • NOTE: Setting the IP address as 0.0.0.0 disables CMC from searching for a server.
    • NOTE: You can specify a list of LDAP or global catalog servers separated by commas. CMC allows you to specify up to three IP addresses or host names.
    • NOTE: LDAP or LDAPs that are not correctly configured for all domains and applications may produce unexpected results during the functioning of the existing applications/domains.
  2. Specify a DNS server using one of the following options:
    • If DHCP is enabled on CMC and you want to use the DNS address obtained automatically by the DHCP server, type the following command: 
      racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o
                                          cfgDNSServersFromDHCP 1
    • If DHCP is disabled on CMC, or if DHCP is enabled but you want to specify your DNS IP address manually, type following commands: 
      racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o
                                          cfgDNSServersFromDHCP 0
                                          racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o
                                          cfgDNSServer1 <primary DNS IP address>
                                          racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o
                                          cfgDNSServer2 <secondary DNS IP address>

    The Extended Schema feature configuration is complete.
