Configuring Active Directory With Standard Schema Using RACADM

At the RACADM command prompt, run the following commands:
  • Using config command:
    racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADEnable 1
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADType 2
racadm config -g cfgStandardSchema -i <index> -o cfgSSADRoleGroupName <common name of the role group>
racadm config -g cfgStandardSchema -i <index> -o cfgSSADRoleGroupDomain <fully qualified domain name>
racadm config -g cfgStandardSchema -i <index> -o cfgSSADRoleGroupPrivilege <Bit Mask Value for specific RoleGroup permissions>

    racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADDomainController1 <fully qualified domain name or IP address of the domain controller>
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADDomainController2 <fully qualified domain name or IP address of the domain controller>
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADDomainController3 <fully qualified domain name or IP address of the domain controller>
    NOTE Enter the FQDN of the domain controller, not the FQDN of the domain. For example, enter servername.dell.com instead of dell.com.
    NOTE

    At least one of the three addresses is required to be configured. CMC attempts to connect to each of the configured addresses one-by-one until it makes a successful connection. With Standard Schema, these are the addresses of the domain controllers where the user accounts and the role groups are located.

    racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADGlobalCatalog1 <fully qualified domain name or IP address of the domain controller>
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADGlobalCatalog2 <fully qualified domain name or IP address of the domain controller>
racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADGlobalCatalog3 <fully qualified domain name or IP address of the domain controller>
    NOTE The Global Catalog server is only required for standard schema when the user accounts and role groups are in different domains. In multiple domain case, only the Universal Group can be used.
    NOTE The FQDN or IP address that you specify in this field should match the Subject or Subject Alternative Name field of your domain controller certificate if you have certificate validation enabled.
If you want to disable the certificate validation during the SSL handshake, run the following RACADM command:
  • Using the config command: racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADCertValidationEnable 0

In this case, you do not have to upload the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate.

To enforce the certificate validation during SSL handshake (optional):
  • Using the config command: racadm config -g cfgActiveDirectory -o cfgADCertValidationEnable 1

In this case, you must upload the CA certificate using the following RACADM command:

racadm sslcertupload -t 0x2 -f <ADS root CA certificate>

NOTE If certificate validation is enabled, specify the Domain Controller Server addresses and the Global Catalog FQDN. Make sure that DNS is correctly configured.
