Single domain versus multiple domain scenarios
If all the login users and role groups, including the nested groups, are in the same domain, then only the domain controllers’
addresses must be configured on iDRAC. In this single domain scenario, any group type is supported.
If all the login users and role groups, or any of the nested groups, are from multiple domains, then Global Catalog server addresses
must be configured on iDRAC. In this multiple domain scenario, all the role groups and nested groups, if any, must be a Universal
Group type.
Configuring Standard schema Active Directory
To configure iDRAC for an Active Directory login access:
1. On an Active Directory server (domain controller), open the Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-in.
2. Create a group or select an existing group. Add the Active Directory user as a member of the Active Directory group to access
iDRAC.
3. Configure the group name, domain name, and the role privileges on iDRAC using the iDRAC web interface or RACADM.

The Active Directory Configuration and Management page is displayed.
3. Click Configure Active Directory.
The Active Directory Configuration and Management Step 1 of 4 page is displayed.
4. Optionally, enable certificate validation and upload the CA-signed digital certificate used during initiation of SSL connections
when communicating with the Active Directory (AD) server. For this, the Domain Controllers and Global Catalog FQDN must
be specified. This is done in the next steps. And hence the DNS should be configured properly in the network settings.
5. Click Next.
The Active Directory Configuration and Management Step 2 of 4 page is displayed.
6. Enable Active Directory and specify the location information about Active Directory servers and user accounts. Also, specify
the time iDRAC must wait for responses from Active Directory during iDRAC login.
