[Freeipmi-devel] ipmi_lan_open_session() question

[James Laros]

I have a question about the usage of ipmi_lan_open_session.
First off I don't see it used in any of the utilities
that come with the distro? Any reason?

I was doing things more "by hand" as in ipmipower until
I noticed this call.

More specific question if I use the call as follows the
Activate Session Application Response returns a completion
code of 0xcc (Invalid data field in request)

Wasn't sure if I need to pass in something for session_seq_num
or session_id??? In the request message the session_id seems be 
set properly to a temp session id, session_seq is 0 which should be ok yes?

Note that if I run it with MD5 as an auth type and provide username
and password I never get an app response.

By the way it seems to return < 0 but set errno to Success??

------------------------------

    u_int8_t auth_type;
    u_int8_t *username = "root";
    u_int8_t *password = "yada";
    u_int8_t priv;
    priv = IPMI_PRIV_LEVEL_OPERATOR;
    u_int32_t *session_seq_num;
    u_int32_t *session_id;

    session_seq_num = (u_int32_t *)malloc(sizeof(u_int32_t));
    session_id = (u_int32_t *)malloc(sizeof(u_int32_t));

    auth_type = IPMI_SESSION_AUTH_TYPE_MD5;

    if (ipmi_lan_open_session(conn->fd,
                              (struct sockaddr *)&(conn->target_addr),
                              sizeof(struct sockaddr_in),
                         IPMI_SESSION_AUTH_TYPE_NONE,
                         //     auth_type,
                              username,
                         //     password,
                         //     sizeof(password),
                         NULL,
                         0,
                              INITIAL_OUTBOUND_SEQ_NUM,
                              priv,
                              session_seq_num,
                              session_id) < 0 ) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Error: ipmi_lan_open_session %s\n", strerror(errno));
        return -1;
    }

Thanks if anyone can help.
