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
Before configuring the standard schema Active Directory, ensure that:
• You have the iDRAC enterprise license.
• The configuration is performed on a server that is used as the Domain Controller.
• The dat, time and time zone on the server are correct.
• The iDRAC network settings are configured, or in iDRAC web interface go to iDRAC Settings > Connectivity > Network >
Common Settings to configure the network settings.
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 the iDRAC groups and users.
3. Configure the group name, domain name, and the role privileges on iDRAC using the iDRAC web interface or RACADM.
Configuring Active Directory with Standard schema using iDRAC web
interface
NOTE: For information about the various fields, see the
iDRAC Online Help .
1. In the iDRAC web interface, go to iDRAC Settings > Users > Directory Services.
The Directory Service page is displayed.
2. Select the Microsoft Active Directory option and then click Edit.
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.
