Configuring Lifecycle Controller Logs Export using Web Interface and HTTPS
Lifecycle Controller Logs can be exported by navigating to and clicking Export.
- It is recommended to use HTTP/HTTPS shares using a proxy.
- When using HTTPS:
- Configure Expired or invalid certificate action to Show error.
- Upload a valid certificate for outbound connection.
NOTE:Part of the process of certificate validation is the comparison of the CN name in the certificate with the IP address or DNS name that is used to connect to the server. If a DNS name was used in the certificate, then that name is required on the iDRAC. This requires DNS resolution be enabled on the iDRAC. DNS servers can be obtained by DHCP or can be set manually. These settings are off by default.
Certificates that are used with HTTPS are intended to be signed by a certificate authority. The certificate authorities publish public keys that allow the certificates to be validated. Software, such as web browsers, use a bundle of these public keys that is regularly updated to validate the certificates from websites that are visited.
It is possible to create self-signed certificates, but software such as web browsers would not be able to validate them by using the bundle of public keys. Self-signed keys can protect against eavesdropping but not man-in-the-middle attacks.
