How to encrypt WS-MAN traffic

Not for sure if this has already been discussed, my apologies if so.

I work in a DOD environment where my OME server needs to be STIG'd. Part of the STIG's will not allowing unencrypted WinRM traffic. I have been trying to research a way to configure iDRAC to encrypt the ws-man traffic during inventory and discovery, as well as out-of-band updating. Just not for sure how to properly set this up. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Zac

Hi Zac,

From OME point of view, encrypted traffic is allowed. You need to ensure following winrm configuration is met:

>winrm get winrm/config/client

Client
    NetworkDelayms = 5000
    URLPrefix = wsman
    AllowUnencrypted = false
Auth
     Basic = true
     Digest = true
     Kerberos = true
     Negotiate = true
     Certificate = true
     CredSSP = false
DefaultPorts
     HTTP = 5985
     HTTPS = 5986
TrustedHosts

To enable from iDRAC side, I would request you to cross-post this query on general forum below:

Thanks for the quick response! I will head over to the other forum to discuss the encrypted traffic from iDRAC.

Thanks!
