[iDRAC] OU and O are interchanged in Cert-Request using API

Question

Some more info: idrac 8, V2.30.30.30 If I create a certificate request using the webgui, the request ist fine. If i use the api (Method: GenerateSSLCSR from iDRACCardService) the OU and O values are interchanged! Example: Values configured:OU=MyOUO=MyCompany In the CSR this values are interchanged. I checked it using Windows 'CertUtil.exe -dump 'idrac.csr''The output delivers:OU=MyCompanyO=MyOU Is it a bug? Regards Ulli

Thank you for the information.

We have reproduced this issue and are in the process of adding it into the fix list of a future iDRAC firmware update. I suggest that you monitor iDRAC updates for a fix for this issue.

Thanks

Hi Daniel!

I attached a PowerShell script. The content is an excerpt of my scripts, regarding the problem.
(Remove the ".txt" at the end from the file name)

This is an excerpt of the "certutil.exe -dump" output from a csr-file created by the WebGui:

Subject:

E=admin@FQDN.com
CN=idrac.FQDN.com
OU=MyDepartment
O=MyCompany
L=SampleCity
S=SampleState
C=US

This is an excerpt of the "certutil.exe -dump" output from a csr-file created by the Script (unsing the api):

Subject:
E=admin@FQDN.com
CN=idrac.FQDN.com
OU=MyCompany
O=MyDepartment
L=SampleCity
S=SampleState
C=US

Notice that the OU and O values are interchanged!
