Use auth token when not communicating with bmcweb

Redfish backends other than OpenBMC bmcweb expect clients to
authenticate using X-Auth-Token HTTP header as that's the only standard
authentication method for Redfish sessions.

This code falls back to using the token in case Session creation didn't
result in obtaining an XSRF cookie (as should normally happen with
bmcweb).

Limitations: all WebSocket-based functionality can not work (JS-based
NBD Virtual Media, IP KVM, SOL), page reload drops the session and
requires to log in again.

Tested: logging in, observing Overview and successfully logging out of
an AMI MegaRAC BMC. Logging in and navigating around a bmcweb-running
system which doesn't have the code to provide cookies for Session POST
request (everything works as usual sans WS-based features).

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
