I tried to find documented iDRAC10 custom cert import procedure, but to no avail for reference. I would suggest try to refer to the latest document on iDRAC9. If it doesn't work, iDRAC10 is relatively new and the server should have service contract, I would recommend trying contacting the support to raise a case and reach out to engineering.
Could you provide me more details on what platform that you need to change the certificate configuration? What model server? Are you referring to use self sign certificate on iDRAC?
@DELL-Joey C Yes I am referring to self signed certificate on iDRAC. The initial boot up and configuration will be using self signed certificate. Later on we plan to use CA signed certificate manage by a CA server.
We are looking for guidance on our use case regarding server certificate management:
During initial boot-up and configuration, the server utilizes a self-signed certificate.
The server is configured for automatic certificate enrollment, providing credentials to a CA server endpoint.
Once the connection to the CA server is established, all subsequent server-client communication must transition to using a CA-signed certificate, replacing the initial self-signed one.
