When the config option ``auth_strategy`` is set to ``http_basic`` then non-public API calls require a valid HTTP Basic authentication header to be set. The config option ``http_basic_auth_user_file`` defaults to ``/etc/ironic/htpasswd`` and points to a file which supports the Apache htpasswd syntax[1]. This file is read for every request, so no service restart is required when changes are made. The only password digest supported is bcrypt, and the ``bcrypt`` python library is used for password checks since it supports ``$2y$`` prefixed bcrypt passwords as generated by the Apache htpasswd utility. To try HTTP basic authentication, the following can be done: * Set ``/etc/ironic/ironic.conf`` ``DEFAULT`` ``auth_strategy`` to ``http_basic`` * Populate the htpasswd file with entries, for example: ``htpasswd -nbB myName myPassword >> /etc/ironic/htpasswd`` * Make basic authenticated HTTP requests, for example: ``curl --user myName:myPassword http://localhost:6385/v1/drivers`` [1] https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/misc/password_encryptions.html Change-Id: I7b89155d8bbd2f48e186c12adea9d6932cd0bfe2 Story: 2007656 Task: 39825 Depends-On: https://review.opendev.org/729070

Overview
Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.
