First create an instance of Rest or Redfish Object using the **RestObject** or
**RedfishObject** class respectively. The class constructor takes iLO hostname/
ip address formatted as a string ("https://xx.xx.xx.xx"), iLO login username
and password as arguments. The class also initializes a login session, gets
systems resources and message registries.

Rest Object creation:

.. code-block:: python

 REST_OBJ = RestObject(iLO_https_host, login_account, login_password)

Redfish Object creation:

.. code-block:: python

 REDFISH_OBJ = RedfishObject(iLO_https_host, login_account, login_password)

Example 5: Enable secured boot
==============================

The method **ex5_enable_secure_boot** takes an instance of rest object (or
redfish object if using Redfish API), boolean secure boot enable value and BIOS
password (default None).

.. code-block:: python

 def ex5_enable_secure_boot(restobj, secure_boot_enable, bios_password=None):

Find and get the Secure Boot  URI(s) from the systems resources collection.

.. code-block:: python

 instances = restobj.search_for_type("SecureBoot.")

Prepare the HTTP request body with the boolean value of secure boot enable
parameter.

.. code-block:: python

 for instance in instances:
     body = {"SecureBootEnable": secure_boot_enable}

PATCH request is sent next to the secure boot URI and response error is handled
if any.

.. code-block:: python

 response = restobj.rest_patch(instance["href"], body, optionalpassword=bios_password)
 restobj.error_handler(response)

A successful PATCH response implies that Secure Boot is set, however the
changes will get affected only after a system reset or reboot.
