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

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

17
18## Establish Redfish connection session
19##### Method 1
20```
21export bmc=xx.xx.xx.xx
22curl --insecure -X POST -D headers.txt https://${bmc}/redfish/v1/SessionService/Sessions -d    '{"UserName":"root", "Password":"0penBmc"}'
23```
24A file, headers.txt, will be created. Find the `"X-Auth-Token"`
25in that file. Save it away in an env variable like so:
26
27```
28export bmc_token=<token>
29```
30
31#####  Method 2
32```
33export bmc=xx.xx.xx.xx
34export token=`curl -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://${bmc}/login -d '{"username" :  "root", "password" :  "0penBmc"}' | grep token | awk '{print $2;}' | tr -d '"'`
35curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" https://${bmc}/redfish/v1/...
36```
37Note: Method 2 is used in this document.
