Uploading SSL Chain to iDRAC

I've got 4 m600 blades. I just generated new certificates for all of
them off of an internal CA we use. After uploading them I realized that
I'd forgotten to upload the entire certificate chain. As a result I
still get SSL errors as browsers don't get the chain and can't match it
back to a trusted certificate. When I tried to upload a file containing
the certificate with the chain (a total of 3 certificates) the web
interface became inaccessible. I was able to load the http interface,
but when it tried to re-direct me to https it errored. It appeared that
port 443 was simply closed on the device. I was ultimately able to
recover by using the SSH interface and reloading the certifcate by
itself, but that is not the preferred option. Is there a way to get the
iDRACs to properly handle a certificate chain?
