1# Redfish cheat sheet
2
3This document is intended to provide a set of example [Redfish][1] client
4commands for OpenBMC usage. This document uses cURL. This document assumes
5several ids, such as ManagerId, "bmc", and ComputerSystemId, "system". Assuming
6an id is not correct and any software written to use the Redfish API should not.
7From the Redfish Specification, DSP0266, "Clients shall not make assumptions
8about the URIs for the members of a resource collection."

10## Query Redfish Service Root
11
12```
13export bmc=xx.xx.xx.xx
14curl -k https://${bmc}/redfish/v1
15```
16
17---

19## Establish Redfish connection session
20
21##### Method 1
22
23```
24export bmc=xx.xx.xx.xx
25curl --insecure -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -D headers.txt https://${bmc}/redfish/v1/SessionService/Sessions -d    '{"UserName":"root", "Password":"0penBmc"}'
26```
27
28A file, headers.txt, will be created. Find the `"X-Auth-Token"` in that file.
29Save it away in an env variable like so:
30
31```
32export bmc_token=<token>
33```
34
35##### Method 2
36
37```
38export bmc=xx.xx.xx.xx
39export token=`curl -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://${bmc}/login -d '{"username" :  "root", "password" :  "0penBmc"}' | grep token | awk '{print $2;}' | tr -d '"'`
40curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" https://${bmc}/redfish/v1/...
41```
42
43Note: Method 2 is used in this document.
