Dell Command | Configure - HttpBootProfile imports but URL and certificate thumbprint are missing

[u/justlittleme123]

Hi all,

I am trying to deploy a “BIOSConnect - HttpBootProfile” using Dell Command | Configure.

The “HttpBootProfile.xml” command reports that it has been imported successfully, and the certificate appears to be present in the BIOS. However:

The URL from the XML file is not added to the HTTP(s) Boot URL section.

The certificate thumbprint is not displayed in the BIOS, although I am given the option to delete the certificate.

If I run the following command, the exported XML contains both the correct URL and the certificate:

“cctk HttpBootProfile –Get”

The URL points directly to a valid “.efi” file.

If I manually enter the same URL and import the same certificate through the BIOS, HTTPS Boot works correctly. I have also confirmed that HTTP(s) Boot is enabled and set to Manual Mode before applying the XML profile.

Has anyone successfully deployed a “BIOSConnect - HttpBootProfile” using Dell Command | Configure?

Thanks in advance,

Max

Hi there,

We are from the Dell social media support team.

The data is being written (confirmed by ---Get returning correct values), but the BIOS Setup UI is not reading it from the same NVRAM location that CCTK writes to. This seems to be a compatibility gap between certain CCTK and BIOS version combinations.

1. Update the BIOS to the absolute latest version for your specific model via Dell Support (enter your Service Tag).
2. Update Dell Command | Configure to the latest release from Dell's CCTK download page.
3. Check the CCTK Release Notes PDF — search for "HttpBootProfile" in the known issues section. Dell documents model-specific limitations there.
