Hi,
i got two Dell R710 servers which have the problem, that if you wanna open the iDrac web interface, google chrome gives you the error:
ERR_SSL_SERVER_CERT_BAD_FORMAT
its not the usual “hey you got a self signed certificate, its not cool, but you can pass” error ;D this error wont let you open the website.
You can fix this by the following steps:
- Open a ssh connection to the corresponding iDrac (use the same password as for the webinterface)
ssh root@idrac-ip
- Regenerate the certifcate
/admin1-> racadm sslresetcfg
Certificate regenerated successfully and webserver restarted
- Reset the iDrac
/admin1-> racadm racreset soft
RAC reset operation initiated successfully. It may take up to a minute
for the RAC to come back online again.
and youre done!
Thanks for this. It’s worth also noting that this doesn’t work for old iDRAC versions. I had 1.90 (yes, very old) and it didn’t work. After upgrading to 2.90, the above worked perfectly.
Thanks for sharing your experience! 🙂
