      Description of problem:
      Support for non-password authentication in HP ILO and VMware fence agents.

      Additional info:
      Both HP ILO and VMware REST support use of certificates for authentication. Currently fence-agents do not (except ssh, which allows for keys).

      RFE for supporting certificates, OATH, tokens, keys, etc. as appropriate for both HP ILO and VMware.

      HP ILO v2+ appear to support (v5 docs – http://itdoc.hitachi.co.jp/manuals/ha8000v/hard/Gen10/iLO/880740-004_en.pdf)

      VMware REST supports (https://developer.vmware.com/apis/vsphere-automation/latest/vcenter/#/)

      Unclear that VMware SOAP supports; initial indication is that it does not.

      Allowing for non-password authn would allow for customers to improve security and more easily change authn information.
