DRAC4 - CSR

[Seshadri_N at Dell.com]

Richard,

DRAC4 supports only Base 64 certificates and doesn't support DER.  

Refer to this link for more differences between DER and Base64:
http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/PKI0505.pdf 

There are multiple ways how you can create your certificate:
1. from DRAC GUI
2. from DRAC GUI using CSR and then submitting it to CA
3. keytool application:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/keytool.html

>From your mail, I guess you might have used CSR, in that case download
only Base 64 cert from CA.

You can use one of the following CA's:
1. http://www.verisign.com/
2. http://www.thawte.com/
3. Microsoft Certificate Services - http://<CAServerIP>/certsrv

HTH,

G'Day All,

Anybody had some success with certs and DRAC cards?

I thought that tomcat was temperamental - but the DRAC takes the cake.

I always get this error:

A DRAC 4 error has occurred.  	
   		Print 		

  	Description: Security Error - Unable to upload certificate
  	Error Code: 0x000A0004
  	Resolution:

     * Verify that the certificate file is valid and not corrupted.
     * Verify that the certificate is Base 64 encoded. DRAC 4 does not
support DER encoded certificates.

And I can't see how I can upload a "chain" too - seems to only want to
accept one cert and one cert only?

Cheers,
RF.
