Add optional Redfish session token caching to reduce BMC audit log spam#1146stefanhipfel wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
Introduce a process-level SessionCache that reuses Redfish X-Auth-Token across reconcile loops, capping the effective TTL against the BMC-advertised SessionTimeout, with automatic invalidation and retry on 401. Enable via --bmc-auth-mode=session-cache and tune with --bmc-session-cache-ttl. Signed-off-by: Stefan Hipfel <stefan.hipfel@sap.com>

Nice, this is a clean solution to the audit log spam problem.
A few things worth considering:
Orphaned sessions on unexpected restart — if the pod gets OOM-killed or evicted, the server-side DELETE never fires. BMCs with a low max-sessions limit (iDRAC defaults to 4) could end up locked out until the BMC-side timeout expires. Worth at least documenting.
Credential rotation — if the BMC password is rotated and revoked at the BMC level simultaneously, whether the cached token stays valid depends on the vendor. The current behaviour is probably fine in practice but undocumented.
IsSessionExpiredError is narrow — only matches a schemas.Error with HTTP 401. Some BMC implementations return 403 or a 200 with a Redfish error body for an invalid token, so the invalidate-and-retry wouldn't kick in for those.
ServerReconciler options asymmetry — EndpointReconciler and BMCReconciler both receive bmcBaseOptions, so any new field added there automatically applies to both. ServerReconciler is initialized with its own inline bmc.Options{} literal, so it won't pick up future additions to bmcBaseOptions unless someone explicitly mirrors
them — and the compiler won't catch it if they forget.
Minor: NewSessionCache panics on zero/negative TTL — returning an error would be more idiomatic. Also worth noting the BasicAuth bool removal as a breaking change for out-of-tree consumers.
Overall the implementation looks solid and the opt-in design is the right call.

@xkonni and @stefanhipfel: since the v0.8.0 development will go on for a few more weeks do you also want to back port this feature to v0.7x? |
…orphan note - NewSessionCache returns (cache, error) instead of panicking - IsSessionExpiredError now also matches HTTP 403 (Forbidden) - bmcBaseOptions includes polling fields so all three reconcilers share one source - --bmc-session-cache-ttl help text notes orphaned sessions on unclean exit Signed-off-by: Stefan Hipfel <stefan.hipfel@sap.com>

Go net/http Client.Do redirect custom headers cross-host 307 308 Authorization Cookie behavior source
💡 Result:
In Go's net/http package, the http.Client behavior regarding redirect headers is designed to prevent leaking sensitive information to untrusted domains [1][2]. When following a redirect, the client forwards most headers set on the initial request, with specific exceptions for security [1][3]. Sensitive Header Stripping The client automatically strips specific "sensitive" headers—including Authorization, WWW-Authenticate, Cookie, Cookie2, Proxy-Authorization, and Proxy-Authenticate—when a redirect target is not a subdomain match or an exact match of the initial domain [1][4][5]. For example: - A redirect from foo.com to sub.foo.com will forward these headers [1]. - A redirect from foo.com to bar.com will result in these headers being omitted from the redirected request [1][5]. Cookie Behavior - If a non-nil cookie Jar is used, the client manages cookies automatically [1][2]. During a redirect, if the cookie Jar mutates, the client omits any mutated cookies from the forwarded Cookie header, relying on the Jar to insert the updated values when the redirected request is made [1][2]. - If no Jar is configured, the initial cookies are forwarded as-is, subject to the domain-match security check mentioned above [1][2]. Redirect Methods (307/308) - 307 (Temporary Redirect) and 308 (Permanent Redirect) preserve the original HTTP method and body [2][6]. - These redirects are followed only if the Request.GetBody function is defined, which allows the client to re-send the request body [2][4]. - Note that while 307/308 preserve the method and body, the sensitive headers remain subject to the aforementioned cross-host stripping rules [1][7]. As of current Go versions, while the client protects standard sensitive headers, it does not automatically strip custom authentication headers (e.g., X-Api-Key) or the POST body itself across origins, which has been the subject of ongoing security discussions [7]. Source: The primary implementation logic for header handling is located in the net/http/client.go source file within the standard library, specifically within the logic that determines header copying and security checks during redirection [1][4].

🌐 Web query:
site:go.googlesource.com/go go1.26.3 src/net/http/client.go shouldRemoveHeaderOnRedirect
💡 Result:
In the Go standard library, specifically within src/net/http/client.go, there is no function named shouldRemoveHeaderOnRedirect. Instead, the logic for handling sensitive headers during HTTP redirects is managed by determining whether to strip them, controlled by a boolean variable stripSensitiveHeaders and a helper function named shouldCopyHeaderOnRedirect [1][2]. When the http.Client follows a redirect, it checks if the redirect target's host is different from the initial request's host [1][2]. If they differ, the client determines whether it is safe to carry over sensitive headers (such as Authorization, WWW-Authenticate, Proxy-Authorization, and Cookie) by calling shouldCopyHeaderOnRedirect [1][2]. This function validates the destination host against the initial host to ensure that sensitive headers are only sent to the same domain or a valid subdomain, preventing the accidental leakage of credentials to third-party domains [1][2]. If shouldCopyHeaderOnRedirect returns false, the client sets stripSensitiveHeaders to true, which subsequently causes these sensitive headers to be removed before the request is resent [1][2]. This mechanism is a security measure designed to protect sensitive user information during cross-domain redirects [1][2]. The implementation has been refined in recent versions to handle complex edge cases, such as preventing incorrect subdomain matching for IPv6 addresses [3][4].
