CA (llmgw-style)
- region creates its CA (ECDSA P-256) and serves API/UI/images over HTTPS on tls_listen with a
certificate for every name/address it has (reissued on change or a month before expiry);
admin_http policy (allow|loopback|deny) for the admin API over plain HTTP; /ca.pem
- rack controllers enroll with one-time join codes (CA fingerprint + secret + expiry + address):
rollcall controller join-code, rollcall rack join; mutual TLS from then on, identity from the
certificate (CN rack:NAME, serial on record), removal revokes, renewal a month before expiry;
the shared rack_secret stays as a legacy fallback
- clients: CA from the server config, ROLLCALL_CA, or trusted on first connect in the console after
showing the fingerprint (kept in client.json); deployed machines trust it via cloud-init ca_certs
(allowed on RHEL-family images), overlays get .CA; rollcall ca show|issue
Power drivers
- ipmi (cipher/privilege/interface), redfish (system discovery, ResetType from AllowableValues or
ActionInfo, boot override with If-Match), idrac, ilo, supermicro, xcc, openbmc, proxmox (API
token), manual; executed on the rack controller; Redfish auto-detection after commissioning;
operator settings survive recommissioning; rollcall bmc, BMC editing in web UI and console
- lab: pve_redfish.py Redfish emulator per Proxmox VM (iDRAC, iLO, generic profiles)
IPv6
- IPv6 subnets and IPAM (netip), dual-stack default layout (all subnets of the boot VLAN),
per-family default routes, accept-ra off where addresses are planned, dnsmasq RA/DHCPv6 with
router lifetime 0 unless the rack is the gateway, AAAA host records from IPAM, IPv6 listen
addresses and URLs, rack interfaces and region certificate with IPv6, agent reports IPv6
Tests for CA/join/pinning/CSR signing, Redfish (iDRAC, iLO fallbacks, probe), Proxmox, manual,
IPv6 candidates, dual-stack plans and dnsmasq IPv6.
Verified in the lab: rack2 enrolled and running on mutual TLS only, revocation and single-use
codes; iLO auto-detected through rack2, iDRAC and Proxmox drivers, wrong password not saved;
Debian 13 (bond+VLAN), Rocky 9 and AlmaLinux 9 dual-stack with Redfish-driven deployments; CA
trusted on Debian and AlmaLinux; admin CLI over HTTPS on IPv4 and IPv6.
