racadm - Available sources to import an SSL-Key

Question

Hi,

does the racadm tool have any other options for the source location than a local drive (C:,D:) , like a SMB share or web server where to import an SSL-Key from?

According to manual:
racadm -r -i sslkeyupload -t 1 -f d:\dell\ .key

But we are looking for:
racadm -r -i sslkeyupload -t 1 -f \\172.*.*.*\/home/key/ .key

That source would also need to be authenticated at with user/password.

Thanks

Hello,

There's nothing that I'm aware of that isn't already in the manual. That being said, you might consider looking at the manual for the iDRAC implementation of the Redfish API. I'll be upfront - it's something that I'm fairly ignorant on, I come from a server support background, but we didn't support the API. That being said, I'm fairly confident that it will allow you to do some things that standard racadm commands won't. It may be worth investigating.

Currently iDRAC support uploading sslkey only using local drives.

So who is correct?

Racadm can use Redfish (but no one has ever done it?!) to enable sslkeyupload to upload a key that is not on the local drive.

or

It's not possible as racadm can only upload from the local drive regardless of this 'carrot' being Redfish API
