Directory authentication, enter the user name in the
format Domain\User name.

system inventory.

WS-Man Settings Dell License Manager uses the iDRAC WS-Man interface
to obtain inventory information.
Validate Certificate
Name
If enabled, this ensures that inventory communications are
conducted only with systems identifying themselves based
on a certificate that matches the address used to
communicate with that system. If the iDRAC certificate
does not match the discovery address, then disable
certificate name validation for Dell License Manager to
communicate with iDRAC. However, if the certificate
name is not validated, Dell License Manager cannot
authenticate the identity of the remote system.
Validate Certificate
Authority
If enabled, this ensures that inventory communications are
conducted only with systems identifying themselves based
on a certificate issued by a trusted source. If the iDRAC
certificate is not issued by a trusted authority, then disable
validation in order for Dell License Manager to
communicate with iDRAC. However, if the certificate
authority is not validated, Dell License Manager cannot
authenticate the identity of the remote system.
For validation, include a trusted certificate authority as part
of the Trusted Root Certification Authorities list in
Microsoft Windows. For more information, see the
Microsoft Windows documentation.
Validate Certificate
Revocation List
If enabled, this ensures that communications are not
conducted with a system identifying itself using a
certificate that is revoked. If the management console
cannot communicate with a certificate revocation list
server, then disable this option to communicate with
iDRAC. However, if the certificate revocation list is not
validated, Dell License Manager cannot authenticate the
identity of the remote system.
