SSL Certificate Check in Racadm Command

Hi All, hope someone can help me with this one:

I am connecting to  DRAC 5 card (latest FW, 1.40) from a remote system, using the racadm command.  I am connecting from a Linux box, using the racadm binary from the latest Open Manage DVD.  When connecting, I get an error message: Security Alert: Certificate is invalid - self signed certificate Enter "Y" to continue,or any other key to quit.  I read the documents on the commands, and this is only supposed to happen if the -s argument is specified, which it was not.  It apears this binary has that check built in.

Is there any way to disable this check?  I need to script the commands and it is not going to work well if a question has to be responded to!

We do use a wildcard ssl certificate for our servers, which I could upload, but this creates another point of maintenance with expire dates and such.  The shipped default self signed is fine, assuming we can get past this prompt.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I find it highly annoying that the utility doesn't allow ignoring of the certificate validation. It can be bypassed in scripts by using the yes command. or echo 'y'.

Example:

yes | racadm -r 192.168.0.120 -u root -p calvin help
