Hey All,

  I currently work with Renesas H8 IPMC on Sun Monza board. It seems
to me that anonymous access is disabled, so I would need to use "Get
Channel Authentication Capabilities", "Get Session Challenge" and
"Activate Session" commands in order to establish a session in Basic
Mode for IPMI Serial interface (basically provide proper user and
password in order to issue other commands to IPMC). This is quite
possible according to spec, but it is not clear how to format packet
which needs to be sent to the IPMC in case of these commands. I looked
at IPMI spec v1.5, section 18.12 for Get Channel Auth Capabilities
command. It states that I need to append session header to the regular
IPMI request data but I am not sure how to do this. The session header
is grayed out and ordering of the bytes within it is not clear. There
is no example on how this should be done in case of Basic Mode (Direct
codec). Any information regarding would be appreciated.

  Thanks,
  Boban
