NOTE:
If the system from where you are accessing the remote system does not
have an iDRAC6 certificate in its default certificate store, a message is displayed
when you type a RACADM command. For more information about iDRAC6
certificates, see "Securing iDRAC6 Communications Using SSL and Digital
Certificates" on page 64.
Security Alert: Certificate is invalid - Name on
Certificate is invalid or does not match site name
Continuing execution. Use -S option for racadm to
stop the execution on certificate-related errors.
RACADM continues to execute the command. However, if you use the –S
option, RACADM stops executing the command and displays the
following message:
Security Alert: Certificate is invalid - Name on
Certificate is invalid or does not match site name
Racadm not continuing execution of the command.
ERROR: Unable to connect to iDRAC6 at specified
IP address
On Linux systems, ensure that you perform the following intermediate steps
for certificate validation to be successful using remote RACADM:
1 Convert CA in DER format to PEM format (using openssl cmdline tool):
openssl x509 -inform pem -in
<yourdownloadedderformatcert.crt> –outform pem -
out <outcertfileinpemformat.pem> –text
2 Find the location of the default CA certificate bundle on the management
station. For example, for RHEL5 64-bit , it is /etc/pki/tls/cert.pem.
3 Append the PEM formatted CA certificate to the management station CA
certificate.
For example, use the cat command:
- cat testcacert.pem >> cert.pem
