Implement http2 TODO To support HTTP2 simultaneously on http and https connections, the HTTP connection classes formerly took the socket as a template option, allowing passing ssl::stream<tcp::socket> or simply tcp socket. With the addition of the multiple-sockets option, this would cause two copies of the template to be instantiated, increasing both compile times and binary size. This commit applies the same logic to http2connection as was applied to HTTPConnection, adding an http type parameter to the constructor, which allows switching between adapter and adapter.next_level() on each read or write operation. In compiled code, this means that the connection classes are only specialized once. Tested: When configured for one of each http and https socket and http2 curl --http2 http://<ip>/redfish/v1 succeeds curl --http2 https://<ip>/redfish/v1 succeeds Change-Id: I8f33796edd5874d5b93d10a3f253cfadd4f6d7a4 Signed-off-by: Ed Tanous <etanous@nvidia.com>
This component attempts to be a "do everything" embedded webserver for OpenBMC.
The webserver implements a few distinct interfaces:
bmcweb at a protocol level supports http and https. TLS is supported through OpenSSL.
Bmcweb supports multiple authentication protocols:
Each of these types of authentication is able to be enabled or disabled both via runtime policy changes (through the relevant Redfish APIs) or via configure time options. All authentication mechanisms supporting username/password are routed to libpam, to allow for customization in authentication implementations.
All authorization in bmcweb is determined at routing time, and per route, and conform to the Redfish PrivilegeRegistry.
*Note: Non-Redfish functions are mapped to the closest equivalent Redfish privilege level.
bmcweb is configured per the meson build files. Available options are documented in meson_options.txt
meson setup builddir ninja -C builddir
If any of the dependencies are not found on the host system during configuration, meson will automatically download them via its wrap dependencies mentioned in bmcweb/subprojects
.
bmcweb relies on some on-system data for storage of persistent data that is internal to the process. Details on the exact data stored and when it is read/written can seen from the persistent_data
namespace.
When SSL support is enabled and a usable certificate is not found, bmcweb will generate a self-signed a certificate before launching the server. Please see the bmcweb source code for details on the parameters this certificate is built with.
bmcweb is capable of aggregating resources from satellite BMCs. Refer to AGGREGATION.md for more information on how to enable and use this feature.
