WS-Man Settings
Validate Certificate Name	If enabled, this ensures that inventory communications are conducted only with systems identifying themselves based on a certificate that matches the address used to communicate with that system. If the iDRAC certificate does not match the discovery address, disable certificate name validation for License Manager to communicate with iDRAC. However, if the certificate name is not validated, License Manager cannot authenticate the identity of the remote system.
Validate Certificate Authority	If enabled, this ensures that communications are conducted only with systems identifying themselves based on a certificate issued by a trusted source. If the iDRAC certificate is not issued by a trusted authority, then disable validation for License Manager to communicate with the management controller. However, if the certificate authority is not validated, License Manager cannot authenticate the identity of the remote system. For validation, include a trusted certificate authority as part of the Trusted Root Certification Authorities list in Microsoft Windows. For more information, see the Microsoft Windows documentation.
Validate Certificate Revocation List	If enabled, this ensures that communications are not conducted with a system identifying itself using a certificate that is revoked. If the management console cannot communicate with a certificate revocation list server, disable this option to communicate with iDRAC. However, if the certificate revocation list is not validated, License Manager cannot authenticate the identity of the remote system.
Retries	The number of communication retry attempts made if temporary WS-Man communication errors occur before the deployment attempt fails. The default is one retry, and the maximum allowed attempts is two.
Timeout	The time within which the WS-Man host must begin to return data before the communication attempt fails. The default is 30 seconds.
Port	The HTTPS communication port configured on the iDRACs. The default port is 443. On this port, ensure that the firewall settings allow the HTTPS communication between the management station and iDRACs.
