NOTE: Configure iDRAC6 to use a Domain Name Server, which resolves the LDAP
server hostname that iDRAC6 is configured to use in the LDAP server address. The
hostname must match the "CN" or "Subject" in the LDAP server's certificate.

I enabled certificate validation but my Active Directory login failed.
I ran the diagnostics from the GUI and the test results show the following
error message:
ERROR: Can't contact LDAP server, error:14090086:SSL
routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed:
Please check the correct Certificate Authority (CA) certificate has been
uploaded to iDRAC. Please also check if the iDRAC date is within the valid
period of the certificates and if the Domain Controller Address configured
in iDRAC matches the subject of the Directory Server Certificate.
What could be the problem and how can I fix it?

to verify the directory server certificate when iDRAC6 establishes the SSL
connection with the directory server. The most common reasons for failing
certification validation are:
1
The iDRAC6 date is not within the valid period of the server certificate or

your certificate.
