* rest: Add error check to delete commandsJavier Hernandez2023-11-061-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every time a delete operation is performed it needs to be checked that a row has been deleted. If no rows are deleted, then ogserver reports an error. Previous to this change, it only checks that the connection to db was succesful. For example, previously, if a user deletes a client that did not exist, ogserver responds with no errors. After this change, it responds with an error. This error check has been implemented when deleting: - A client - An image - A center - A repo - A room - A server
* rest: use method not found instead of bad request for /clients requestsOpenGnSys Support Team2023-10-191-1/+1
| | | | | /clients says bad request for unsupported method, use correct error report.
* rest: extend /repository/addv1.2.5Jose M. Guisado2023-10-112-7/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | POST /repository/add checks validity of the repository ip address specified in the request payload. /repository/add can optionally receive a center id parameter inside its request payload. For backward compatibility, the default center id (1) is used if no center is received inside the request payload. POST /repository/add returns a JSON response payload containing relevant fields from the inserted repository. $ curl -D- \ -X POST \ -H "Authorization: a0e9ab768cbe93dab5b1998e952bcdb7" \ --json '{"name": "helloworld", "ip": "192.168.21.21a", "center": 2}' \ localhost:8888/repository/add HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Content-Length: 0 $ curl -D- \ -X POST \ -H "Authorization: a0e9ab768cbe93dab5b1998e952bcdb7" \ --json '{"name": "helloworld", "ip": "192.168.21.21a", "center": 2}' \ localhost:8888/repository/add HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 54 {"id": 7, "ip": "192.168.21.21", "name": "helloworld"}
* src: move og_repository to dbi.hJose M. Guisado2023-10-103-7/+12
| | | | | | | | | | Move struct og_repository to dbi.h and use field max length for name and ip. Use og_json_parse_string_copy instead of og_json_parse_string to check maximum length against the request payload. Fixes: 86ccc3c2e8377623 ("#915 Add POST /repository/add")
* rest: add POST /client/repoJose M. Guisado2023-10-101-0/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Set a client repository in the OpenGnsys database using the endpoint POST /client/repo. Expects "clients" and "id" parameters in the request payload. POST /client/repo { "clients": [...], "id": "2" } Response: 200 OK
* rest: fix sql typo in og_set_client_modeJose M. Guisado2023-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace invalid variable @ipserveradm by @serverip in the SQL query of og_set_client_mode. @ipserveradm is a typo as this variable does not exists. This ends up feeding a string to the legacy setclientmode code and crashes. This bug also caused problems when adding clients via ogCP or any other command that required running the set client mode logic. Fixes: e080fd5526949a5615ae391ea9dda8b70c95f345 (rest: add "server=" boot param in set client mode)
* schema: fix bug when og_dbi_open cannot open a connectionJose M. Guisado2023-09-282-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | When og_dbi_open cannot open a connection during schema update, then ogServer crashes. og_dbi_open returns NULL when it cannot open a DB connection. Do not use dbi variable if og_dbi_open is unable to open a DB connection. Add syslog message when database schema couldn't be updated.
* rest: add "server=" boot param in set client modev1.2.4Jose M. Guisado2023-08-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | Store a client associated ogserver ip address in "server=" boot param. Use this boot param to lookup for network-specific ogClient configuration when launching ogClient during ogLive booting process.
* rest: return server_id in GET /client/infoJose M. Guisado2023-08-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | struct og_computer holds the value of "identorno" column inside the server_id field. Extend GET /client/info payload with server_id. This way clients can get the associated server id when requesting client information. { ... "server_id": 1, }
* dbi: add server_id to og_computer structJose M. Guisado2023-08-232-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | Extend og_dbi_get_computer_info to fetch "identorno" column from "ordenadores". "identorno" holds the row id value from the "entornos" table (valid ogserver addresses). Extend og_computer struct with a new field: "server_id" that will store the value of "identorno" column fetched from the database.
* rest: add POST client/server methodJose M. Guisado2023-08-231-0/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable modification of the associated ogserver of a given client. This API is exposed via the POST /client/server endpoint and expects a JSON payload with an array of clients ("client":[]) and the "id" of the ogserver ("identorno" column value inside the "entornos" table) For example: >>> POST /client/server { "client": [ "10.141.10.100", "10.141.10.101", "10.141.10.104", "10.141.10.102" ], "id": "6" } <<< HTTP/1.1 200 OK If the ogserver id does not exist the foreign key constraint (ON UPDATE RESTRICT) inside the "ordenadores" table will cancel the operation and the server will reply with 400 Bad Request. >>> POST /client/server { "client": [ "10.141.10.100", "10.141.10.101", "10.141.10.104", "10.141.10.102" ], "id": "666" } <<< HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request The OpenGnsys database stores different ip addresses for the ogServer inside the "entornos" table. This table is related to the "ordenadores" table using a foreign key on the "identorno" column. i.e: Clients in the "ordenadores" table associate to an specific server in the database using the "identorno" column (from "entornos" table).
* rest: add DELETE operation to /server endpointJose M. Guisado2023-08-231-0/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Expose deletion of rows from "entornos" table via the /server endpoint using the DELETE http request method. The expected payload is the server id as a string. For example: >>> DELETE /server { "id": "4" } <<< 200 OK If the specified server is currently associated with any computer ("ordenadores" table) the foreign key contraint (ON DELETE RESTRICT) will avoid the deletion and the server responds with 400 Bad Request. >>> DELETE /server { "id": "1" } <<< 400 Bad Request
* rest: support DELETE HTTP request methodJose M. Guisado2023-08-232-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reuse endpoints in order to add deletion operation such as "/server". This way there is no need to declare a different if/else block in order to parse a new URI for the new "*/delete" endpoint. Current deletion operations are implemented using a different endpoint name such as "/client/delete", "/center/delete" with POST request method. Endpoints using "/delete" suffix may not be removed for backwards compatibility. Adding HTTP method DELETE support for endpoints such as "/center" or "/client" can use the already existing *_post_delete* functions.
* rest: add /server GET and POST methodsJose M. Guisado2023-08-231-0/+169
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DB stores different ogserver addresses in the "entornos" table. Expose addition and deletion operations for the "entornos" table using the /server endpoint. GET /server returns a list of rows from the "entornos" table including the "identorno" and "ipserveradm" columns. For example: >>> GET /server <<< 200 OK ... { "servers": [ { "id": 1, "address": "10.141.10.1" } ] } POST /server inserts into the "entornos" table and returns the id ("identorno") of the new row. >>> POST /server { "address": "192.168.2.240" } <<< 200 OK ... { "id": 2 } If the server address already exists the response is 400 Bad Request with no payload. >>> POST /server { "address": "192.168.2.240" } <<< 400 Bad Request
* rest: add optional param "backup" for create_imagev1.2.3Jose M. Guisado2023-07-072-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | This parameter is used by ogServer to instruct target client if image backup should be performed before image creation. This parameter is optional to preserve backward compatibility with webconsole (legacy web client) and avoid the need of updating any legacy client. Default is true if the REST request is missing this parameter.
* core: log payload if sequences do not matchJose M. Guisado2023-07-031-3/+5
| | | | | | | | We need to inspect the received payload if any error is raised related to the X-Sequence header. Not just when a malformed X-Sequence header is detected. Fixes: d2c19ef13d7 ("core: add X-Sequence header support")
* core: add X-Sequence header supportv1.2.2Jose M. Guisado2023-06-133-3/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add non-standard HTTP header "X-Sequence" to the header section of requests (og_send_request) sent to a connected client. Define a starting sequence number when creating a new instance of struct og_client inside og_server_accept_cb. This sequence number is incremented by one for each outgoing request from ogServer. This sequence number is checked when receiving a response from a connected client, if they do not match the connection is dropped. Use sequence 0 for out-of-band commands (reboot, poweroff, stop). Any client response with header "X-Sequence: 0" bypasses sequence check.
* client: harden og_resp_refreshJose M. Guisado2023-06-072-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Harden refresh response logic. Check for necessary JSON fields inside the payload. Check if serial_number is null before calling strlen, prevent ogServer from a malformed refresh response with missing serial_number. Refresh uses legacy function actualizaConfiguracion that takes a long string with the computers configuration (serialno, partitions, disks, link speed and status). Check for an empty string before executing any legacy code inside actualizaConfiguracion.
* client: increase software inventory buffer sizeJose M. Guisado2023-04-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Large software inventory is truncated because it does not fit into the existing buffer. Software inventory response payload consists of a string with each component delimited by '\n'. Large software inventories can consist of more than 8192 bytes. Avoid truncating any large software inventory by increasing the buffer size where this string is stored.
* Log ogClient sessions in ogagent.logv1.2.1Javier Sánchez Parra2022-11-021-4/+41
| | | | | Otherwise, administrators can not read the logging history from WebConsole.
* #915 List all database images.Javier Sánchez Parra2022-07-071-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | ogServer "GET /images" list images that exist simultaneously in database and in disk (/opt/opengnsys/images). With this patch, ogServer list all images in database, exist or not in disk. If an image exists in disk, it retrieves more information about them. This change is useful for environments where images are in different machines/repositories.
* #915 Add POST /repository/deleteJavier Sánchez Parra2022-07-011-0/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This method deletes a repository from the database. Request: POST /repository/delete { "id": "10" } Response: 200 OK
* #915 Add POST /repository/addJavier Sánchez Parra2022-07-012-0/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This method adds a new repository to the database. Request: POST /repository/add { "name": "Repository 1", "ip": "192.168.56.10" } Response: 200 OK
* #915 Extend GET /repositories with param idJavier Sánchez Parra2022-06-231-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add id parameter to the response. This is useful to identify repositories that have several IPs. Request: GET /repositories { "repositories": [ { "id": 1, "ip": "192.168.56.10", "name": "Repositorio (Default)" } ] } Response: 200 OK Related-to: d5e6dc0 ("#915 Add API GET /repositories")
* #915 Fix missing id on image creationJavier Sánchez Parra2022-06-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | On image creation, ogServer always sends 0 as image id to clients. When clients sends the response to the "create image" command with new information to update the image's entry in the database, the image id is 0 and ogServer fails to update the image's entry. This patch fixes this, assigning the correct id of the image. Fixes: d2f20d0be0661 ("#942 Create DB image when calling POST /image/create")
* #915 Use the repository id on image listJavier Sánchez Parra2022-06-202-9/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | API "GET /images" shows the repository ID the image belongs to, instead of the IP. This is a preparative commit to the support of repositories with several IPs. Request GET /images Response 200 OK: { "images": [ { "name": "windows10", "datasize": 0, "size": 626088433, "modified": "Fri Jun 10 12:20:32 2022", "permissions": "744", "software_id": 1, "type": 1, "id": 6, "repo_id": 1 } ], "disk": { "total": 52573995008, "free": 38964637696 } }
* #915 Use the repository id on image creationJavier Sánchez Parra2022-06-203-56/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | POST /image/create has two modes, image creation and update. You can find more information about the "creation" mode in commit: d2f20d0be06617f421eecca111449d94672695eb On image creation, use the id to identify repositories instead of the IP. This is a preparative commit to the support of repositories with several IPs. On image update, "repository_id" field is not needed because the image already has the repository assigned. This commit maintains backward compatibility with the Web Console (old web interface), because it only use the "update" mode of /image/create. Request POST /create/image: { "clients": [ "192.168.56.11" ], "disk": "1", "partition": "1", "name": "archlinux", "repository_id": 1, "id": "0", "code": "131", "description": "This is a test", "group_id": 0, "center_id": 1 } Response 200 OK
* #1074 rest: set_mode: add support for different ogserver addressesJavier Sánchez Parra2022-06-012-1/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add foreign key "identornos" from table "entornos" to table "ordenadores". A row in table "entornos" represent a valid ogServer address. Multiple ogServer valid addresses can exist when running several instances or a single ogServer instance is exposed to different networks. Can't delete rows in "entornos" table nor update their id (primary key) if the row has any associated clients ({ON UPDATE/ON DELETE} RESTRICT). Allows assigning different but valid ogServer IPs to clients. Enabling support for multiple instances of ogServer (e.g: load balancing) or exposing a single ogServer instance to different networks (e.g: VLAN). Look up for the valid ogServer IP of a given client when changing a client's mode (og_set_client_mode). Determines valid ogServer IP using a JOIN statement. JOIN entornos USING(identorno) Reuses the fetched ip using a statement variable. @serverip:=entornos.ipserveradm For example, for a two VLAN setup: vlan1 ogserver: 192.168.56.10 vlan2 ogserver: 192.168.57.10 The "entornos" table should look like: identorno ipserveradm ... --------- ----------- ... 1 192.168.56.10 ... 2 192.168.57.10 ... And computers in the "ordenadores" table might look like: idordenador identorno ... ---------- --------- ... 1 1 ... 2 1 ... 3 2 ... 4 2 ... ... ... ... Additionally, splits the SQL query for better readability. Co-authored-by: Jose Guisado <jguisado@soleta.eu>

* #915 consolidate WoL sender functionOpenGnSys Support Team2021-12-226-100/+74
| | | | | | | | This patch aims simplifies the WoL sender routine. A few related changes: - Replace goto err to continue if IP address is malformed - Use ret |= instead of ret &= to accumulate error code.
* #915 remove shim code to update database after image restore commandOpenGnSys Support Team2021-12-223-63/+26
| | | | Make direct call to dbi API to update database instead.
* #915 remove dead code in ogAdmLibOpenGnSys Support Team2021-12-222-50/+1
| | | | Remove declarations that are not used anymore in ogAdmLib.
* #915 Remove useless WoL shim codeOpenGnSys Support Team2021-12-203-50/+43
| | | | | | | Levanta() is not required, iterate over the array of IP address and make direct calls to WakeUp(). This is also implicitly fixing up a memleak in og_cmd_wol().
* #915 Add POST /oglive/set REST requestJavier Sánchez Parra2021-12-171-0/+114
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows you to update clients' database entry and PXE boot file with the specified ogLive. If you specify either an incorrect or unexisting ogLive, then, clients use the default ogLive image. You can query ogLives installed on the server with ogServer's GET /oglive/list API. If you set the oglive field to "default", then the default ogLive is used. Request: POST /oglive/set { "clients": ["192.168.56.11", "192.168.56.12"], "name": "ogLive-5.4.0-r20200629" } Response: 200 OK
* #1065 split og_status_session_toggleJose M. Guisado2021-12-031-9/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | Handles non usual situations like a client sending more than one event of same type. When toggling, receiving two events of the same type is the same as receiving two different ones (eg. start, then stop). Split into _session_start and _session_stop in order to check valid client status.
