Question Answer
When accessing the DRAC 5 Web-based
interface, I get a security warning stating the
hostname of the SSL certificate does not match
the hostname of the DRAC 5.
The DRAC 5 includes a default DRAC 5 server
certificate to ensure network security for the Web-based
interface and remote racadm features. When this
certificate is used, the Web browser displays a security
warning because the default certificate is issued to
DRAC5 default certificate which does not match the
host name of the DRAC 5 (for example, the IP address).
To address this security concern, upload a DRAC 5 server
certificate issued to the IP address of the DRAC 5.
When generating the certificate signing request (CSR)
to be used for issuing the certificate, ensure that the
common name (CN) of the CSR matches the IP address
of the DRAC 5 (for example, 192.168.0.120) or the
registered DNS DRAC name.
To ensure that the CSR matches the registered DNS
DRAC name, perform the following steps:
1 In the System tree, click Remote Access .
2 Click the Configuration tab and then click Network .
3 In the Network Settings page, perform the following
steps:
a Select the Register DRAC on DNS checkbox.
b In the DNS DRAC Name field, enter the DRAC
name.
4 Click Apply Changes .
See "Securing DRAC 5 Communications Using SSL and
Digital Certificates" for more information about
generating CSRs and issuing certificates.
