If your administrators painstakingly monitor and renew iDRAC SSL certificates for the latest Dell EMC PowerEdge servers with Datacenter licenses, there’s now an easier way. After a one-time setup process, using iDRAC9 Automatic Certificate Enrollment to automate SSL certificate renewal saved valuable hands-on time that could add up for organizations with large infrastructures and could save hands-on time as you add servers and enroll them with the certificate authority. Based on our tests, we estimate that using iDRAC9 v4.0 to renew certificates for 1,000 servers every three months would save an administrator up to 45 work days over three years. The qualitative benefits of automating SSL certificate renewal are perhaps just as impressive: organizations could renew more often for increased security, remove the time and effort associated with renewal processes, and even reduce server vulnerability resulting from lapsed certificates.
