Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 (iDRAC9) Version 3.00.00.00 User's Guide

While accessing the iDRAC Web interface, a security warning appears stating that the SSL certificate issued by the Certificate Authority (CA) is not trusted.

iDRAC includes a default iDRAC server certificate to ensure network security while accessing through the Web-based interface and remote RACADM. This certificate is not issued by a trusted CA. To resolve this, upload a iDRAC server certificate issued by a trusted CA (for example, Microsoft Certificate Authority, Thawte or Verisign).

Why the DNS server not registering iDRAC?

Some DNS servers register iDRAC names that contain only up to 31 characters.

When accessing the iDRAC Web-based interface, a security warning is displayed stating that the SSL certificate host name does not match the iDRAC host name.

iDRAC includes a default iDRAC server certificate to ensure network security while accessing through the Web-based interface and remote RACADM. When this certificate is used, the Web browser displays a security warning because the default certificate that is issued to iDRAC does not match the iDRAC host name (for example, the IP address).

To resolve this, upload an iDRAC server certificate issued to the IP address or the iDRAC host name. When generating the CSR (used for issuing the certificate), make sure that the common name (CN) of the CSR matches the iDRAC IP address (if certificate issued to IP) or the registered DNS iDRAC name (if certificate is issued to iDRAC registered name).

Why am I unable to complete operations that involve a remote CIFS share?

Import/export or any other remote file share operations that involve a CIFS share fail if they use only SMBv1. Ensure that the SMBv2 protocol is enabled on the server providing SMB/CIFS share. Refer to the Operating System documentation on how to enable the SMBv2 protocol.
