Remove Redfish Node class

Reduces the total number of lines and will allow for easier testing of
the redfish responses.

A main purpose of the node class was to set app.routeDynamic(). However
now app.routeDynamic can handle the complexity that was once in critical
to node. The macro app.routeDynamic() provides a shorter cleaner
interface to the unerlying app.routeDyanic call. The old pattern set
permissions for 6 interfaces (get, head, patch, put, delete_, and post)
even if only one interface is created. That pattern creates unneeded
code that can be safely removed with no effect.
Unit test for the responses would have to mock the node the class in
order to fully test responses.

see https://github.com/openbmc/bmcweb/issues/181

The following files still need node to be extracted.

virtual_media.hpp
account_service.hpp
redfish_sessions.hpp
ethernet.hpp

The files above use a pattern that is not trivial to address. Often their
responses call an async lambda capturing the inherited class. ie
(https://github.com/openbmc/bmcweb/blob/ffed87b5ad1797ca966d030e7f979770
28d258fa/redfish-core/lib/account_service.hpp#L1393)
At a later point I plan to remove node from the files above.

Tested:
I ran the docker unit test with the following command.
WORKSPACE=$(pwd) UNIT_TEST_PKG=bmcweb
 ./openbmc-build-scripts/run-unit-test-docker.sh

I ran the validator and this change did not create any issues.
python3 RedfishServiceValidator.py -c config.ini

OpenBMC webserver

This component attempts to be a "do everything" embedded webserver for openbmc.

Capabilities

At this time, the webserver implements a few interfaces:

  • Authentication middleware that supports cookie and token based authentication, as well as CSRF prevention backed by linux PAM authentication credentials.
  • An (incomplete) attempt at replicating phosphor-dbus-rest interfaces in C++. Right now, a few of the endpoint definitions work as expected, but there is still a lot of work to be done. The portions of the interface that are functional are designed to work correctly for phosphor-webui, but may not yet be complete.
  • Replication of the rest-dbus backend interfaces to allow bmc debug to logged in users.
  • An initial attempt at a read-only redfish interface. Currently the redfish interface targets ServiceRoot, SessionService, AccountService, Roles, and ManagersService. Some functionality here has been shimmed to make development possible. For example, there exists only a single user role.
  • SSL key generation at runtime. See the configuration section for details.
  • Static file hosting. Currently, static files are hosted from the fixed location at /usr/share/www. This is intended to allow loose coupling with yocto projects, and allow overriding static files at build time.
  • Dbus-monitor over websocket. A generic endpoint that allows UIs to open a websocket and register for notification of events to avoid polling in single page applications. (this interface may be modified in the future due to security concerns.

Configuration

BMCWeb is configured by setting -D flags that correspond to options in bmcweb/meson_options.txt and then compiling. For example, meson <builddir> -Dkvm=disabled ... followed by ninja in build directory. The option names become C++ preprocessor symbols that control which code is compiled into the program.

Compile bmcweb with default options:

meson builddir
ninja -C builddir

Compile bmcweb with yocto defaults:

meson builddir -Dbuildtype=minsize -Db_lto=true -Dtests=disabled
ninja -C buildir

If any of the dependencies are not found on the host system during configuration, meson automatically gets them via its wrap dependencies mentioned in bmcweb/subprojects.

Enable/Disable meson wrap feature

meson builddir -Dwrap_mode=nofallback
ninja -C builddir

Enable debug traces

meson builddir -Dbuildtype=debug
ninja -C builddir

Generate test coverage report:

meson builddir -Db_coverage=true -Dtests=enabled
ninja coverage -C builddir test

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

  • is issued by C=US, O=OpenBMC, CN=testhost,
  • is valid for 10 years,
  • has a random serial number, and
  • is signed using the SHA-256 algorithm.
