openbmctool: add support for X-Auth-Tokens

When bmcweb becomes the BMC REST/Redfish server, it will
require the session token to be passed in when doing a
PUT, POST, or DELETE.  This token is obtained from the
login header, and then must be passed into future commands
in the 'X-Auth-Token' header.

If bmcweb isn't being used, then the token won't come back
in the header of the login command, and the code knows not
to try to use it later.

While this isn't needed on GETs, the code does it anyway
to simplify things.

Tested: Tested against both old and new REST servers, for
example powering systems on and off.

The OpenBMC Tools Collection

The goal of this repository is to collect the two-minute hacks you write to automate interactions with OpenBMC systems.

It's highly likely the scripts don't meet your needs - they could be undocumented, dysfunctional or utterly broken. Please help us improve!

Repository Rules

  • Always inspect what you will be executing
  • Some hacking on your part is to be expected

If you're still with us

Then this repository aims to be the default destination for your otherwise un-homed scripts. As such we are setting the bar for submission pretty low, and we aim to make the process as easy as possible.

Sending patches

Please use gerrit for all patches to this repository:

Do note that you will need to be party to the OpenBMC CLA before your contributions can be accepted. See Gerrit Setup and CLA for more information.

What we will do once we have your patches

So long as your patches look sane with a cursory glance you can expect them to be applied. We may push back in the event that similar tools already exist or there are egregious issues.

What you must have in your patches

We don't ask for much, but you need to give us at least a Signed-off-by, and put your work under the Apache 2.0 license. Licensing everything under Apache 2.0 will just hurt our heads less. Lets keep the lawyers off our backs. ^

^Any exceptions must be accompanied by a LICENSE file in the relevant subdirectory, and be compatible with Apache 2.0. You thought you would get away without any fine print?

How you consume the repository

There's no standard way to install the scripts housed in the here, so adding parts of the repository to your PATH might be a bit of a dice-roll. We may also move or remove scripts from time to time as part of housekeeping. It's probably best to copy things out if you need stability.
