• Using config command:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSServersFromDHCP 0
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSServer1 <primary DNS IP
address>
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSServer2 <secondary DNS IP
address>
• Using set 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 during
log in to iDRAC Web interface, enter the following command:
• Using config command: racadm config -g cfgUserDomain -o cfgUserDomainName
<fully qualified domain name or IP Address of the domain controller> -i
<index>
• Using set 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.

Testing Active Directory settings
You can test the Active Directory settings to verify whether your configuration is correct, or to diagnose
the problem with a failed Active Directory log in.
Testing Active Directory settings using iDRAC web interface
To test the Active Directory settings:
1. In iDRAC Web Interface, go to Overview → iDRAC Settings → User Authentication → Directory
Services → Microsoft Active Directory.
The Active Directory summary page is displayed.
2. Click Test Settings.
3. Enter a test user's name (for example, [e-mail]) and password and click Start Test. A
detailed test results and the test log displays.
If there is a failure in any step, examine the details in the test log to identify the problem and a
possible solution.
NOTE: When testing Active Directory settings with Enable Certificate Validation checked, iDRAC
requires that the Active Directory server be identified by the FQDN and not an IP address. If the
Active Directory server is identified by an IP address, certificate validation fails because iDRAC is
not able to communicate with the Active Directory server.
Testing Active Directory settings using RACADM
To test the Active Directory settings, use the testfeature command. For more information, see the
iDRAC8 RACADM Command Line Interface Reference Guide available at dell.com/idracmanuals.
Configuring generic LDAP users
iDRAC provides a generic solution to support Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)-based
authentication. This feature does not require any schema extension on your directory services.
