Hi team,

The customer is performing RHOCP IPI testing for H/W certification and is referencing this document: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.15/installing/installing_bare_metal_ipi/ipi-install-installation-workflow.html#bmc-addressing_ipi-install-installation-workflow

The issue occurred during the IPI installation. The redfish ISO mount point shows it only supports HTTP, as per the error message below. However, the official document mentioned that both HTTP and HTTPS are supported parameter types for TransferProtocolTypes. 


~~~
VirtualMedia.InsertMedia BEF (/redfish/v1/Managers/Self/VirtualMedia/CD1/Actions/VirtualMedia.InsertMedia)
===============================================
{"error":"@Message.ExtendedInfo": 
"@odata.type":"#Message.v1_0_8.Message", "Message":"The value 'HTTP' for the property TransferProtocolType is not in the list of acceptable values.", "MessageArgs": ["HTTP", "TransferProtocolType"], "MessageId":"Base.1.12.PropertyValueNotInList", "RelatedProperties":["/TransferProtocolType"], "Resolution": "Choose a value from the enumeration list that the implementation can support and resubmit the request if the operation failed.", "Severity": "Warning"},"code":"Base.1.12.PropertyValueNotInList", "message":"The value 'HTTP' for the property TransferProtocolType is not in the list of acceptable values."}

Could you please confirm if we currently support HTTPS?


***Business impact:

We have business visibility on current telco project, the customer needs passed the IPI testing for H/W certification.

The problem is the customer's BMC currently only supports HTTPS mounting per the AMI code-base requirement.

ACM/ZTP based installation on the fleet of 1000s of these servers. Support for https will be great. 



Please help to check HTTPS support plan. Any recommendation would be appreciated! 

Follow the document steps.  https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.15/installing/installing_bare_metal_ipi/ipi-install-overview.html

HTTPS is not supported.

Per the doc mentioned, HTTPS should be supported.
