Network Security
While accessing the iDRAC7 Web interface, a security warning appears stating that the SSL certificate issued by the
Certificate Authority (CA) is not trusted.
iDRAC7 includes a default iDRAC7 server certificate to ensure network security while accessing through the Web-based
interface and remote RACADM. This certificate is not issued by a trusted CA. To resolve this, upload a iDRAC7 server
certificate issued by a trusted CA (for example, Microsoft Certificate Authority, Thawte or Verisign).
Why the DNS server not registering iDRAC7?
Some DNS servers register iDRAC7 names that contain only up to 31 characters.
