Development Documentation for the Registration via WebYaST

Here are two diagrams showing how the registration is supposed to work.

REST API

• /registration/configuration

GET: get registration server and certificate information

returns:

 <registrationconfig>
   <server>
     <url>https://myregistration.server.com/center/regsvc</url>
   </server>
   <certificate>
     <data>
       <![CDATA[
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIFIDCCBAigAwIBAgIJAPP6cY6saTFlMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMIGPMQswCQYD
VQQGEwJERTEPMA0    .........     60QTef32lxeuVH9Kve8gGZiMwDqcJfl
J8NLO3kNW3Zys2p4agg22yttmUs=
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
]]>
     </data>
   </certificate>
 </registrationconfig>

PUT: set new registration server and certificate

post data:

 <registrationconfig>
   <server>
     <url>https://somewhere.else.com/center/regsvc</url>
   </server>
   <certificate>
     <data>
       <![CDATA[
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIFIDCCBAigAwIBAgIJAPP6cY6saTFlMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMIGPMQswCQYD
VQQGEwJERTEPMA0    .........     60QTef32lxeuVH9Kve8gGZiMwDqcJfl
J8NLO3kNW3Zys2p4agg22yttmUs=
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
]]>
     </data>
   </certificate>
 </registrationconfig>

The return is the same as for GET.

• /registration/registration

GET: get registration status

This will return the machines' guid. This only exists if there once was a successful registration.

NOTE: This is just a guess! Only the registration server knows if the machine is registered

returns:

   <registration>
 <!- if there is a guid -->
      <guid>abcdefg1234567</guid>
 <!- if there is no guid -->
       <guid />
   </registration>

POST: runs registration and returns the result

post data:

   <registration>
     <options>
       <debug>2</debug>
       <forcereg>false</forcereg>    <!- if omitted, the default is false -->
       <nooptional>true</nooptional> <!- if omitted, the default is false -->
       <nohwdata>true</nohwdata>     <!- if omitted, the default is false -->
     </options>
     <arguments>
        <argument>
          <name>key</name>
          <value>val</value>
        </argument>
        ...
     </arguments>
   <registration>

returns:

   <registration>
      <status>finished|missinginfo|error</status>
      <exitcode>1234</exitcode>
      <guid>systemsguid</guid>??
      <missingarguments>
