Redfish query(AccountService)

[Ratan Gupta]

Hi,

Need your input on following query

As part of the the github story 
https://github.com/ibm-openbmc/dev/issues/232 which is to support the 
"RemoteRoleMapping" under LDAP property in AccountService

RemoteRoleMapping is a property of type collection of mapping rules 
under LDAP property.

eg GET Request is as follows(truncated output)

"LDAP": {
             "RemoteRoleMapping": [
             {
                 "RemoteUser": "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=org",
                 "LocalRole": "Admin"
             },
         {
                 "RemoteUser": "cn=Admins,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=org",
                 "LocalRole": "Admin"
             },
             {
                 "RemoteUser": "cn=PowerUsers,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=org",
                 "LocalRole": "Operator"
             },
     ]
}

We have the following use cases for the PATCH request on RemoteRoleMapping

=> How to add the Role Mapping?

  PATCH { "RemoteRoleMapping": [{"RemoteUser": 
"Admingroup15","LocalRole": "User"},{"RemoteUser": "Admingroup13", 
"LocalRole": "Administrator"},{"RemoteUser": "Admingroup14", 
"LocalRole": "Operator"}]}

With the above PATCH request all the above role mapping gets added.

=> How to delete a specific role mapping,

let's continue the above eg, After addding the above roles mapping, user 
want to delete the second mapping which is ({"RemoteUser": 
"Admingroup13", "LocalRole": "Administrator"})

Following PATCH request would be used.
PATCH {"RemoteRoleMapping": [{},null,{}]}'

Now we have the following two roles mapping

{"RemoteUser": "Admingroup15",
   LocalRole": "User"
}
{"RemoteUser": "Admingroup14",
  "LocalRole": "Operator"
}


=> Let's take a case where user want to update the second role mapping, 
User would use the following PATCH request.

PATCH {"RemoteRoleMapping": [{},{"RemoteUser": 
"NewUserName","LocalRole": "Operator"}]}

Do you see any other use case for the PATCH request for the 
"RemoteRoleMapping" or any changes in the above PATCH request?

Looking for your inputs
