RacADM, Powershell, and Kerberos KeyTabs
Summary: I was looking to automate configuration of iDRAC's (Dell Remote Admin Console) synonymous w/ iLOM and many other acronyms. I also wanted to enable domain authentication in a somewhat secure manner. By using a kerberos keytag, I'm able to in the very least obfuscate the username and password into a file for upload into the iDRAC. What follows is a journey into a ridiculous realm. PreReqs: RACADM ktpass Powershell 3.0 (2.0 probably works too, but I was using 3.0 @ the time) Your root CA's cert This is so it AD Authentication can be setup Solution: It's not a complete solution, but hopefully it'll help you get started in your own endeavors. Below assumes the iDRAC has been configured and is available on the network in default config. To generate a kerbero's keytab , you simply need the name and password of a service account (this is simply a Active Directory user account) in your domain. ktpass /pass ReallySecurePas5word /ptype K
