Create new SNMP v3 user via Redfish API

[BradV]

I'm trying to figure out how to create a new SNMP v3 user on our iLO interfaces via the redfish API.  The github redfish reference does not seem to provide an example of how to do this.  I think this is what I need to do is :

function nextID() {
   IDs=$(curl --silent --insecure --header "X-Auth-Token: ${iLOAuth}" --request GET ${iLOSSO}/redfish/v1/Managers/1/snmpservice/snmpusers | jq -r '.Members[]' | grep 'odata.id' | tr -d '"' | cut -d/ -f8)
   for i in {1..8}; do
      if [[ ${IDs} =~ "${i}" ]]; then
         echo "${i} is in use"
      else
         j=${i}
         break
      fi
   done
}
SECNAME='newname'
AuthTp='SHA'
PrivTp='AES'
AuthP='thissecuritypassphrase'
PrivP='someothersecuritypassphrase'
DATA='{"SecurityName":"'${SECNAME}'","AuthProtocol":"'${AuthTp}'","AuthPassphrase":"'${AuthP}'","PrivacyProtocol":"'${PrivP}'","PrivacyPassphrase":"'${PrivP}'","UserEngineID":null}'
SERVER=myserver.com
# HARDW is set to a file of all extracted hardware from OneView
UUID=$(jq -r '.members[] | select(.serverName=="'${SERVER}'") | "\(.uuid)"' ${HARDW})
read iLOSSO iLOAuth <<< $(curl --silent --insecure --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" --header "auth: ${sessionID}" --request GET ${OneView}/rest/server-hardware/${UUID}/remoteConsoleUrl | jq -r '.remoteConsoleUrl' | sed -e 's|hplocons|https|' -e 's|addr=||' -e 's|^\(.*\)&sessionkey=\(.*\)$|\1 \2|')
nextID
curl --silent --insecure --header "X-API-Token: ${iLOAuth}" --header "content-type: application/json" --data "${DATA}" --request PATCH ${iLOSSO}/redfish/v1/Managers/v1/snmpservice/snmpusers/${j}

but that gives back:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "iLO.0.10.ExtendedInfo",
    "message": "See @Message.ExtendedInfo for more information.",
    "@Message.ExtendedInfo": [
      {
        "MessageArgs": [
          "Invalid URI"
        ],
      }
    ]
  }
}

So, not quite correct.  Does anyone know the correct syntax/method to create a new SNMP v3 user?

I got it to work:

SECNAME='newname'
AuthTp='SHA'
PrivTp='AES'
AuthP='thissecuritypassphrase'
PrivP='someothersecuritypassphrase'
DATA='{"SecurityName":"'${SECNAME}'","AuthProtocol":"'${AuthTp}'","AuthPassphrase":"'${AuthP}'","PrivacyProtocol":"'${PrivP}'","PrivacyPassphrase":"'${PrivP}'"}'
SERVER=myserver.com
# HARDW is set to a file of all extracted hardware from OneView
UUID=$(jq -r '.members[] | select(.serverName=="'${SERVER}'") | "\(.uuid)"' ${HARDW})
read iLOSSO iLOAuth <<< $(curl --silent --insecure --header "X-API-Version: ${currentVersion}" --header "auth: ${sessionID}" --request GET ${OneView}/rest/server-hardware/${UUID}/remoteConsoleUrl | jq -r '.remoteConsoleUrl' | sed -e 's|hplocons|https|' -e 's|addr=||' -e 's|^\(.*\)&sessionkey=\(.*\)$|\1 \2|')
curl --silent --insecure --header "X-API-Token: ${iLOAuth}" --header "content-type: application/json" --data "${DATA}" --request POST ${iLOSSO}/redfish/v1/Managers/v1/SnmpService/SNMPUsers/ | jq -r '.'

If you want to do a group of servers, can put from UUID= on down in a for SERVER in ...  loop.
