Hello

Update to the latest firmware on the iDRAC if you are not already up-to-date. Make sure the date and time on the iDRAC are correct.

RAC0180 Message Certificate upload failed: Unable to get local issuer certificate from the Certification Authority (CA) for confirming the CA is legitimate. Detailed Description Certificate upload failed. Unable to get local issuer certificate. The local issuer certificate is the certificate for the Certificate Authority (CA) that has signed the certificate for the Active Directory (AD) server, unless it is self signed. The iDRAC needs to verify that the CA is legitimate. Recommended Response Action Certificate has expired. Try creating a new CSR and then upload the certificate. Category Audit Subcategory RAC = RAC Event Severity Severity 3 (Informational) LCD Message No LCD message display defined. Initial Default None Server Administrator Event ID Not Applicable Server Administrator Trap ID Not Applicable

Thanks

iDRAC is running the latest firmware (iDRAC8 v2.41.40.40).  iDRAC date/time/timezone are correct.

I still get the RAC0180 error though.

So I guess no more help from Dell on this problem?

The certificate you are trying to upload is not likely the proper type for the method. The method you are using is designed for use with a certificate signed by a trusted source like VeriSign. If you want to use an active directory certificate then go to iDRAC settings>user authentication>directory services. That is where you manage directory services and upload certificates for it.

Thanks

Doesn't work adding the Certificate in iDRAC either, so I am afraid that is not the solution to this seemingly common issue.

Which certificate are you uploading to iDRAC. You need to upload Root Certificate Authority certificate to iDRAC.

I know this is an old post but I was having the same issue, and thought I would add this for OP and anyone else.  I came across this How to whitepaper on Dell's enterprise solution page.  It shows steps on Config iDRAC to use AD Auth.   It goes over cert generating, plus more.  

Configure iDRAC to use Active Directory Authentication (dell.com)

Hope it helps.
