Allow to log in when using remote authentication

For accounts authenticated remotely (e.g. with LDAP or RADIUS) the API
endpoint (handled by bmcweb) can not provide any information about
RoleId currently, reporting 404 instead. This confuses the frontend and
it doesn't allow to navigate at all.

Fix this by lifting all frontend-side restrictions by assuming
'Administrator' role in this case. Since the backend verifies validity
of each and every request anyway this doesn't affect security anyhow.

Tested: logging in, out and incorrectly using local BMC and remote LDAP
users, reloading the page with an active session. In all cases frontend
behaved as expected, storing assumed RoleId after getting 404 not found
reply and using it for unrestricted routing decisions.

webui-vue

webui-vue is a web-based user interface for the OpenBMC firmware stack built on Vue.js.

Hold on... What happened to phosphor-webui?

phosphor-webui was built on AngularJS and AngularJS went End of Life on June 30, 2021. This repository is its replacement.

When will this new Vue.js application reach feature parity with phosphor-webui?

A few, mostly minor, features remain for feature parity. See GitHub Issues label:phosphor-webui-feature-parity for the complete list.

What improvements does webui-vue have?

As mentioned, this application is built using Vue.js, a modern open-source Model-View-ViewModel JavaScript framework supported by an active community and strong documentation. It has been architected to allow organizations to easily update the theme to support their brand. This rewrite takes advantage of front-end development best practices and does not suffer from some of the anti-patterns that exist in phosphor-webui today.

Should I switch to webui-vue from phosphor-webui?

It is recommended you switch from phosphor-webui if you haven't already.

webui-vue has the following additional features:

  • Ability to easily theme to meet brand guidelines
  • Accessibility
  • Full Redfish
  • Improved user experience based on user feedback
  • Language translation-ready
  • Modern front-end framework with an active community and future development roadmap

How can I get involved?

Documentation

The documentation for coding standards and components is located in the docs directory. It is created using the VuePress static site generator. Information about how to write documentation can be found on the VuePress website.
