DMTF’s Redfish^®, Release 2025.1 is now available for public download. Designed to deliver simple and secure management for hybrid IT and the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC), the latest release of the Redfish standard includes the addition of a specialized $expand query parameter for OriginOfCondition usage and 14 schema updates.

Key highlights of the Redfish 2025.1 release are the additions of:

• Added properties to provide password complexity guidance to AccountService
• Added ConfiguredSpeedGbps and ConfiguredWidth to Port
• Added ?includeoriginofcondition query parameter, a specialized $expand query for OriginOfCondition
• Added SecurityMode in Manager to report standardized security operating modes, and an UpdateSecurityMode action to configure those modes
