Foreman Smart Proxy provides a "REST":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer API, communicating via JSON.  For providers that take POST requests, some take form parameters as inputs (var=1&var=2), others may take JSON. Please refer to this document for latest information about Foreman Smart Proxy API.

h2. Manually Calling the API
66
67
The API can be manually tested out using curl.  GET types can be retrieved like any other URL.  This one, for example, will return the HTML formatted page with the list of features enabled on the proxy.
68
69 1 Ohad Levy
<pre>
70
curl http://localhost:8443/features
71
</pre>
72
73 14 Michael Coulter
The results can also be returned as JSON if you set an appropriate Accept header.
74
75
<pre>
76
curl -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:8443/features
77
</pre>
78
79 1 Ohad Levy
POST URLs, used to create objects or trigger actions, need to have the parameters passed in via the -d argument.  This curl command line will trigger a puppetrun on server.example.com.
80
<pre>
81
curl -d 'nodes=server.example.com' http://localhost:8443/puppet/run
82 11 Michael Coulter
</pre>
83
84
This curl command line will add an A record for server.example.com with ip address of 10.1.2.5.
85
<pre>
86
curl -d 'fqdn=servers.example.com&value=10.1.2.5&type=A' http://localhost:8443/dns/
87 5 Frank Sweetser
</pre>
88
89
Multiple post options may be specified by repeating the -d argument.
90
<pre>
91
curl -d 'prefix=boot/CentOS-5-x86_64' -d 'path=http://yourlocalmirrorhere/pub/centos/5/os/x86_64/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz'  http://localhost:8443/tftp/fetch_boot_file
92
</pre>
93
94
When you are creating an object, the identifier for the object is typically passed in as part of the URL, rather than as a POST value.  For example, this will create a PXE boot configuration file for a host with MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55, and will just put "Hello World" as the contents of the file.  (A real world example would, of course, substitute a valid PXE boot configuration in the string.)
95
96
<pre>
97
curl -d 'syslinux_config=Hello World' http://localhost:8443/tftp/00:11:22:33:44:55
98
</pre>
99
100
In order to delete objects, you use the same URL as in the original creation, but pass it not POST values, and use the DELETE HTTP method instead of POST.  This will delete the PXE boot configuration file created above.
101
102
<pre>
103 1 Ohad Levy
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8443/tftp/00:11:22:33:44:55

h2. BMC Controls 
107
108
Summary
109
The smart-proxy can now control BMC devices through the use of the IPMI protocol.  The smart proxy utilizes ipmitool and freeipmi to control your BMC devices through the network.  
110
111
h3. Prerequisites
112
113
In order to control the BMC device using the smart proxy you must perform the following actions:
114
115
1. Enable bmc support in the settings.yml file
116
2. Install rubyipmi gem, 
117
3. Install freeipmi, and/or ipmitool either from source or package
118
4. The bmc device must be setup on the network with login credentials
119
5. Smart proxy must be able to reach the bmc device through the network
120
121
h3. Using Parameters with the BMC API
122
123
1. When using the bmc api, you must send the credentials of the bmc device using Http Basic Authorization
124
2. If you wish to override the default bmc provider for a particular BMC device please specify in the http parameter (bmc_provider) Valid options are ipmitool and freeipmi
125
3. Some api calls have optional parameters, leaving the action blank on some api calls will return valid actions and options.
126
127 17 Corey Osman
h3. BMC Security
128 16 Corey Osman
129
Its important to note that at this time the bmc api does not encrypt your credentials.  Your credentials are sent in the clear to the smart proxy and then used on the command line to execute the local command.
130
In order to achieve some level of security it is important that your smart proxy use https.  Using https will ensure that your credentials are sent via the encrypted https channel.  Additionally, by default the bmc api 
131
will never expose your credentials to prying eyes via logs or process checks.  The local bmc commands will be run with the credentials placed in a random file which is deleted upon every call and cannot be opened
132
by any other user.

h3. Realm API
137
138
Draft design: http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/RealmJoinIntegration
139
140
h4. New Host
141
142
The FreeIPA returns the raw XMLRPC JSON when creating a host, however the only relevant key is "randompassword."  Any other Realm providers at a minimum should return an OTP for a new host.
143
144
Example full output from FreeIPA:

172
}
173
</pre>
174
175
h4. Update Host
176
177
* "rebuild=true" is passed for any host being rebuilt in order to know whether to revoke any outstanding certificates, etc.  A new randompassword should be issued.
178
179
* Foreman also triggers an update if the "userclass" is being updated.  You should not return a new one-time password for this, only update the attribute (if desired) and return 200.  If nothing needs to be updated, you should return resposen 200 and this JSON
180

<pre>
182
{"message" => "nothing to do"}

The Smart Proxy will return 404 if not found, 400 for any other error.
