You need to set Common name and other fields before creating CSR from iDRAC. You can run the command "racadm getconfig -g cfgRacSecurity" to get details on these attributes. To set Common name you need to run below command

racadm config -g cfgRacSecurity -o cfgRacSecCsrCommonName

You can refer "cfgRacSecurity" section on page 285 of below link for more details
