Abstract
A method and apparatus for coordinating and authenticating requests for data. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises: a baseboard management controller (BMC); and a request coordinator coupled to the BMC to intercept BMC requests and to provide intercepted requests to the BMC, where the coordination interface comprises a request parser to parse parameters for each of the BMC requests, one or more queues to store the requests while the BMC is servicing another BMC request, and a command submitter to send individual BMC requests to the BMC, wherein the BMC is operable to generate the responses to the BMC requests received from the coordination interface and to send the responses to the coordination interface.
