Between this and Dell's implementation not falling back to doing authentication 
if TLS is not available, that leaves basically validating by IP, which is what 
I've done to work around this. Just wanted to confirm that I have it working 
(although not in the way I'd hoped).

Also this is an old Dell R720... It's still perfectly serviceable as a lab box 
for running vmware esxi - and the price was right, $0 and no fee for delivery. 
I've spent $35 on a replacement RAID controller (I learned how NOT to flash 
these the hard way) and about $200 on a pair of SSDs. It came with 48GB of RAM. 
I run my only Windows instance there (accessible from home or away via VPN and 
RDP) and then a dozen or so unix variants as needed for testing, experimenting, 
etc.  Recently I missed a drive failure because the email alerts didn't work 
and here we are...

Dell EOL'd the iDrac7 back in 2020, so this hack-around is permanent:

Anyhow, thanks for all the help!
