to a file in the Base64 encoded form. You should upload this file as the 
trusted CA certificate for the user. Configure the user with the 
username that forms the user’s User Principal Name (UPN) in the 
Smart Card certificate. 
  NOTE: To log into the iDRAC6, the user name that you configure in the iDRAC6 should 
have the same case as the User Principal Name (UPN) in the Smart Card certificate.
For example, in case the Smart Card certificate has been issued to the user, 
"sampleuser@domain.com," the username should be configured as "sampleuser."
Configuring Active Directory Users for Smart Card Logon
Before using the Active Directory Smart Card logon feature, ensure that 
you have already configured the iDRAC6 for Active Directory login and the 
user account that has been issued the Smart Card has been enabled for 
iDRAC6 Active Directory login. 
Also ensure that you have enabled the Active Directory logon setting. See 
"Using the iDRAC6 Directory Service" on page 141 for more information on 
how to set up Active Directory users. You must also enable the iDRAC6 to be 
a kerberized service by uploading a valid keytab file obtained from the Active 
Directory root domain, to the iDRAC6.
To configure the Active Directory users to log into the iDRAC6 using the 
Smart Card, the iDRAC6 administrator should configure the DNS server, 
upload the Active Directory CA certificate to the iDRAC6, and enable the 
Active Directory logon. See "Using the iDRAC6 Directory Service" on 
page 141 for more information on how to set up Active Directory users.
You can configure the Active Directory from iDRAC Settings 
Network/Security Directory ServiceMicrosoft Active Directory. 
  NOTE: Ensure that CA certificate validation is enabled before configuring the 
Smart Card.
