Implement Redfish PasswordChangeRequired This implements the Redfish PasswordChangeRequired handling. See section 13.3.7.1 "Password change required handling" in the 1.9.1 spec: https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0266_1.9.1.pdf These portions of the spec are implemented: - Authenticatation with a correct but expired password creates a session: - The session is restricted to the ConfigureSelf privilege which allows a user to change their own password (via GET and PATCH Password for their own account). Support for the ConfigureSelf privilege is already in BMCWeb. - The session object has the PasswordChangeRequired message. - All other operations respond with http status code 403 Forbidden and include the PasswordChangeRequired message. - The ManagerAccount (URI /redfish/v1/AccountService/Accounts/USER) PasswordChangeRequired property is implemented for local accounts but not present for remote accounts. This has the following additional behavior: The PasswordChangeRequired property is updated at the start of each new REST operation, even within an existing session. This behavior implements a "dynamic" PasswordChangeRequired handling that responds to changes to the underlying "password expired" status. Specifically: - Sessions restricted by the PasswordChangeRequired handling lose that restriction when the underlying account password is changed. - Sessions become subject to the PasswordChangeRequired handling restrictions whenever the underlying account password expires. - The mechanism is to check if the password is expired at the start of every new REST API operation, effectively updating the ManagerAccount PasswordChangeRequired property each time. This makes BMCWeb responsive to changes in the underlying account due to other activity on the BMC. Notes: 1. Note that when an account password status is changed (for example, the password becomes expired or is changed) and that account has active sessions, those sessions remain. They are not deleted. Any current operations are allowed to complete. Subsequent operations with that session pick up the new password status. 2. This does not implement OWASP recommendations which call for sessions to be dropped when there is a significant change to the underlying account. For example, when the password is changed, the password becomes expired, or when the account's Role changes. OWASP's recommendation is due to the session fixation vulnerability. See the OWASP Session Management Cheat Sheet section "Renew the Session ID After Any Privilege Level Change": https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Session_Management_Cheat_Sheet.html#renew-the-session-id-after-any-privilege-level-change BMCWeb protects against session fixation vulnerabilities because it always regenerates new session IDs when successful authentication creates a new session. 3. Users authenticating via mTLS are not subject to the PasswordChangeRequired behavior because mTLS takes precedence over password-based authentication. Tested: 0. Setup: - The `passwd --expire USERNAME` command was used to expire passwords. The `chage USER` command was also used. - The following were used to change the password: Redfish API, passwd command, and the SSH password change dialog. - Tested the following via Basic Auth, /login, and Redfish login (except where Basic Auth does not create a persistent session). - Only local user account were tested. - Did not test authentication via mTLS or with LDAP users. 1. When the password is not expired, authentication behaves as usual for both correct and incorrect passwords. 2. When the password is incorrect and expired, authentication fails as usual. 3. When the password is correct but expired: A. A session is created and has the PasswordChangeRequired message. B. That session cannot access resources that require Login privilege and the 403 message contains the PasswordChangeRequired message. C. That session can be used to GET the user's account, PATCH the Password, and DELETE the session object. D. The account PasswordChangeRequired reports true. 4. While a session is established, try expiring and changing (unexpiring) the password using various mechanisms. Ensure both the session object and the ManagerAccount PasswordChangeRequired property report the correct condition, and ensure PasswordChangeRequired handling (restricting operations to ConfigureSelf when PasswordChangeRequired is true) is applied correctly.

This component attempts to be a "do everything" embedded webserver for openbmc.
At this time, the webserver implements a few interfaces:
BMCWeb is configured by setting -D
flags that correspond to options in bmcweb/CMakeLists.txt
and then compiling. For example, cmake -DBMCWEB_ENABLE_KVM=NO ...
followed by make
. The option names become C++ preprocessor symbols that control which code is compiled into the program.
When BMCWeb starts running, it reads persistent configuration data (such as UUID and session data) from a local file. If this is not usable, it generates a new configuration.
When BMCWeb SSL support is enabled and a usable certificate is not found, it will generate a self-sign a certificate before launching the server. The keys are generated by the secp384r1
algorithm. The certificate
C=US, O=OpenBMC, CN=testhost
,SHA-256
algorithm.
