iDRAC9 Security Configuration Guide
Redfish Session Login Authentication
Redfish is a DMTF standard that provides a secure replacement for IPMI in the datacenter. Redfish provides options for secure authentication:
- Basic authentication: In this method, username and password are provided for each Redfish API request.
- Session-based authentication: This method is used while issuing multiple Redfish operation requests.
- Session login is initiated by accessing the Create session URI. The response for this request includes an X-Auth-Token header with a session token. Authentication for subsequent requests is made using the X-Auth-Token header.
- Session logout is performed by issuing a DELETE of the Session resource that is provided by the Login operation including the X-Auth-Token header.
The security recommendation is to use session-based authentication.
