SSL certificates of iDRAC

iDRAC includes a web server that uses the industry-standard SSL security protocol to transfer encrypted data over a network. Built upon asymmetric encryption technology, SSL is widely accepted for providing authenticated and encrypted communication between clients and servers to prevent eavesdropping across a network.

By default, the iDRAC web server has a Dell self-signed SSL digital certificate. Redfish service reuses this certificate installed on the iDRAC web server. You can replace the default SSL certificate with a certificate signed by a well-known Certificate Authority (CA). You can replace SSL certificates using the iDRAC interfaces such as web interface, RACADM, or WSMan. For more information on managing SSL certificates of iDRAC, see the latest iDRAC User’s Guide available at Dell.com/idracmanuals.
