I am trying to get AD authentication configured on my 11/12/13 gen systems and I am having issues uploading the certificate to the iDRAc's. I generated the cert from our domain controller and exported it correctly as a Base-64 encoded X.509 certificate. When I go to the iDRAC and try to upload the certificate, I receive an error: RAC0180: Certificate upload failed. Unable to get local issuer certificate.
I have no idea what this means and searching for this message, do not provide me with any clues. The certificate date is valid on it and the date/time/timezone on the iDRAC is correct also.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Thanks
