Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 Version 3.21.21.21 User's Guide

Configuring Active Directory with Standard schema using RACADM

1. Use the following commands:

   racadm set iDRAC.ActiveDirectory.Enable 1
   racadm set iDRAC.ActiveDirectory.Schema 2
   racadm set iDRAC.ADGroup.Name <common name of the role group>
   racadm set iDRAC.ADGroup.Domain <fully qualified domain name>
   racadm set iDRAC.ADGroup.Privilege <Bit-mask value for specific RoleGroup permissions>
   racadm set iDRAC.ActiveDirectory.DomainController1 <fully qualified domain name or IP address of the domain controller>
   racadm set iDRAC.ActiveDirectory.DomainController2 <fully qualified domain name or IP address of the domain controller>
   racadm set iDRAC.ActiveDirectory.DomainController3 <fully qualified domain name or IP address of the domain controller>
   racadm set iDRAC.ActiveDirectory.GlobalCatalog1 <fully qualified domain name or IP address of the domain controller>
   racadm set iDRAC.ActiveDirectory.GlobalCatalog2 <fully qualified domain name or IP address of the domain controller>
   racadm set iDRAC.ActiveDirectory.GlobalCatalog3 <fully qualified domain name or IP address of the domain controller>

   • Enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the domain controller, not the FQDN of the domain. For example, enter servername.dell.com instead of dell.com.
   • For bit-mask values for specific Role Group permissions, see Default role group privileges.
   • You must provide at least one of the three domain controller addresses. iDRAC 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.
   • 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.
   • If certificate validation is enabled, the FQDN or IP address that you specify in this field must match the Subject or Subject Alternative Name field of your domain controller certificate.
   • To disable the certificate validation during SSL handshake, use the following command:

     racadm set iDRAC.ActiveDirectory.CertValidationEnable 0

     In this case, no Certificate Authority (CA) certificate needs to be uploaded.
   • To enforce the certificate validation during SSL handshake (optional), use the following command:

     racadm set iDRAC.ActiveDirectory.CertValidationEnable 1

     In this case, you must upload the CA certificate using the following 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. Ensure that DNS is configured correctly under Overview > iDRAC Settings > Network.
     Using the following RACADM command may be optional.

     racadm sslcertdownload -t 1 -f <RAC SSL certificate>

2. If DHCP is enabled on iDRAC and you want to use the DNS provided by the DHCP server, enter the following command:

   racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.DNSFromDHCP 1

3. If DHCP is disabled on iDRAC or you want manually enter the DNS IP address, enter the following RACADM command:

   racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.DNSFromDHCP 0
   racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.DNSFromDHCP.DNS1 <primary DNS IP address>
   racadm set iDRAC.IPv4.DNSFromDHCP.DNS2 <secondary DNS IP address>

4. If you want to configure a list of user domains so that you only need to enter the user name when logging in to the web interface, use the following command:

   racadm set iDRAC.UserDomain.<index>.Name <fully qualified domain name or IP Address of the domain controller>

   You can configure up to 40 user domains with index numbers between 1 and 40.
