web page shows the Pegasus users and developers

the status of the various features found in Pegasus using a simple color coded

key (white, red, yellow, green).  Pegasus 2.5.1 is a minor release, extending Pegasus 2.5.0 in selected

areas primarily for bug fixes.  However, there were some signification

changes in the feature status for selected functions in 2.5.1 (moving selected

functions closer to production-capable status). Pegasus 2.5.2 is a minor release

providing changes that have been defined through pegasus bugs.The following paragraphs list the functionality in this release.   In many cases these features  and interfaces

are conditionally compiled with special environment variables.

<li>Query operation - Support for ExecQuery was added in 2.4 with

WQL as query language and is defined in PEP 119. This feature is

considered at alpha quality because it has only been contributor

tested.  Additional tests have been added in 2.5 for ExecQuery. Pegasus

today does not support the ExecuteQuery operation defined as the Query

operation for CQL.

<h4>Query Language</h4>

<li>Provider management. The CIM Server provides dynamic registration of providers and

CQL Stage 1 has been added for Pegasus 2.5.  PEPs 138, 193, 205

automatic load and unload functionality.</li>

combine to describe the CQL  functionality supported.

<h4>Object Normalization</h4>

The Object Normalizer is an entity introduced in Pegasus 2.4 that

ensures

objects delivered from providers are complete and accurate. Two major

issues were identified with the initial implementation: 1) the Object

Normalizer droped instances it considered bad, and 2) the Object

Normalizer code slowed performance. These issues are now addressed by

moving the Object Normalizer from the Dispatcher to the Response

Handler (or equivalent) and optimizing the existing implementation. The

move allows errors to be reported to the provider at the point of

delivery and ensures that only a single copy is made to preserve the

CIMOM/provider boundary.

<h4>Embedded Object Support</h4>

Pegasus 2.5 provides embedded object support. The proposed solution

is restricted to the following:<ul>

<li>The only representation for embedded objects supported by this

PEP is CIM-XML (i.e. id does not support MOF encoded objects). </li>

<li>CIMObject is implemented as a new CIMValue type. This type will be used

internally to represent embedded objects. When externalized (via

CIM-XML) these objects will be converted to strings representing valid

INSTANCE or CLASS elements, in accordance with the CIM Infrastructure

Specification.  Embedded instances will also carry the

EmbeddedObject attribute with

the value "object", as specified by CR Interop-00217.001.

</li>

</ul>

<h3>Pegasus Repositories

</h3>

</blockquote>

<h4>Schema Repository</h4>

By default, Pegasus uses an XML-based

schema repository. A binary encoding option is also available for the repository.

Note: Users may experience an incompatibility moving a binary repository from

Pegasus 2.4 to 2.5. In Pegasus 2.5, measures have been taken to improve

the ability to maintain compatibility with subsequent releases. (See bugzilla 3642 for details.)</div>

Further information on the use of the binary repository is in the

readme.binaryrepository file in the Pegasus source root directory.

<h4>Instance Repository</h4>

The

Pegasus schema repository may also be configured to hold instance

data.  Although instances may be place in the

repository

it was not designed as a

high volume data store.

<h4>Compressed Repository Feature</h4>

A compressed repository

feature has been added for

pegasus 2.5 that compresses the repository written to disk. This allows

the

repository to be as much as 50% smaller on disk. It uses an external

compression library (zlib) and has been tested with zlib 1.2.2. This

feature is

documented in PEP 214 and also in a Readme

(readme.compressed_repository). Note

that the tests for this feature are in the test suite but not

activated for

automatic tests.Further information on the use of the compressed

repository is in the readme.compressedrepository file in the Pegasus source

root directory.

<h4>Pegasus MOF Compilers</h4>

Pegasus implements a MOF compiler that can operate either at the

client

interface to the Pegasus CIM Server (cimmof)

or directly interfacing with a CIM

repository (cimmofl).

The direct interface compiler is used primarily to provide an

initial

class/instance repository. WARNING:

The use of cimmofl

to manipulate instances in the repository bypasses any provider that is

registered to serve these  instances and simply installs the

instances in the

instance repository; this may result in 1) bad data in the repository

if there are registered providers, 2) corruption of the repository if

the CIM Server is running or, 3) MOF data that is loaded but not

available until the server is stopped and restarted in some

cases.  Use of cimmofl in general is

discouraged and particularly  to manipulate

instances served by a registered providers (ex. Provider registration).

<h3>Security Considerations</h3>

OpenPegasus 2.5 (and

prior versions) contains several mechanisms to perform authorization, but none

of these authorization checks are performed by default.

By registering any provider which fails to do appropriate authorization

checks, the consequences may include information leakage, data

corruption, or unintended elevation of privilege. Please ensure that

one of the following mechanisms is used to ensure appropriate access to

your systems and data:

1. Only install/register providers which perform authorization

appropriate for your environment.

<div style="margin-left: 40px;">a. For providers, this may include registering to

'Run-as-requestor' (not available prior to Pegasus 2.5) and/or

performing authorization checks within the provider.

b. For administrators, ensure that the providers you have registered in

your environment have performed sufficient authorization checks. Also,

monitor announcements of security defects in those providers and follow

the recommendations in those announcements as soon as possible.

c. For distributors of Pegasus or providers, ensure that the providers

you are shipping have performed appropriate authorization checks, and

relay announcements of discovered security defects to your users.

</div>

2. Restrict users with

access to Pegasus to a specific authorized user group of trusted

individuals.

3. Namespace authorization is also available.

For administration issues please refer to

the SSL Admin Guide found in the source repository at:   pegasus/doc/PegasusSSLGuidelines.htm

<h4>SLP Discovery</h4>

SLP support is included but is conditionally compiled in or out on

a platform basis. <a href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/8502/PEP200_RecommendedReleaseOptions.htm">

PEP 237</a> describes the  environment variable (PEGASUS_ENABLE_SLP) to

enable or disable this code.  Effective with Pegasus 2.5.1, support has

been added for the use of OpenSLP as the Service Agent (SA) in addition to the

internal to the Service Agent.  This is controlled through an additional

environment variable (PEGASUS_HAS_OPENSLP)  Once compiled, SLP

support is enabled with the slp configuration parameter (slp=true). SLP

support includes an SLP service agent in the Pegasus CIM sever (either the

internal agent or OpenSLP)  and

generates SLP advertisements compatible with the DMTF slp template

specification. The SLP support also includes  extensions to the

CIM Client libraries to execute SLP User Agent requests and analyze the

results (note that these interfaces are not yet part of the Pegasus

public SDK).

Note: Pegasus on Windows is built with SLP support on by default.

<h4>Indication Handlers</h4>

<h5>System Log Indication Handler

</h5>

The SysLog Indication Handler is a new

for 2.5

type of Indication Handler which allows CIM Indications to be delivered

to the system syslog file. It has following features:

Each syslog file entry has a tag 'CIM Indication' to distinguish

an entry made by Syslog Indication Handler.

If a subscriber includes PerceivedSeverity property in the SELECT

list of the filter condition for the indication, the PerceivedSeverity

will be mapped to syslog error severity. Otherwise, syslog error

severity 'LOG_INFO' is used.

package so is not compiled as part of the default compile)</li>

http://sblim.sourceforge.net) and is written to the Common

Manageability Programming Interface, which is an OpenGroup standard.

The CMPI

specification is available at:

http://www.opengroup.org/bookstore/catalog/c051.htm. This provides a

standardized C level interface for creating providers that can be

registered with the Pegasus CIM Server in the same manner as the

current C++ providers.  The

ability for CMPI providers to do user authorization is now available in

Pegasus 2.5.1.

Information on writing providers with the CMPI interface is available

in the specification today (see above) and in the following documents

(http://sblim.sourceforge.net/whitepaper.html and

http://sblim.sourceforge.net/presentations.html) and readme.cmpi in the

Pegasus source root directory.

NOTE: See the Feature status page

for exact status of the CMPI provider manager for different Pegasus

platforms.

<h5>JMPI Java Interface Provider Manager</h5>

Pegasus

includes a provider manager for Java

provider interfaces based on the SNIA provider interface

definitions.  This provider manager is  considered alpha

quality and is not compiled in the default build.   See

readme.jmpi in the Pegasus source root directory for more information.

</blockquote>

<h3>    Providers</h3>

<div style="margin-left: 40px;">New for 2.5 is the ability of Providers

to run out of process at

request user- level and running CMPI providers remotely or out of

process space.

Administrators should check the providers to

ensure that the provider vendor

has made use of available authorization capability.

</div>

There are a number of providers available

in the Pegasus release.

This includes providers in the following categories:

<h4>Pegasus Internal Providers</h4>

Pegasus provides a set of "internal" providers that have direct

access to the CIMOM for information and provide information and

services to support the CIMOM and its administration.    The

providers in this category are mostly defined in the directory

src/pegasus/controlproviders and include support for the following

classes:

<ul>

<li>DMTF Interop classes including __Namespace,  CIM_Namespace, CIM_ObjectManager,

CIM_CommunicationMechanism, and

CIMOMStatistics.</li>

</ul>

Generic Providers

<h4>CMPI Remote Providers</h4>

<h4>Server Statistics Provider

</h4>

CIM Server statistics, based on the DMTF 'CIM_StatisticalData' class,

are implemented in this release. The statistics gathering is compiled

by default but it is disabled through a property in the singleton

CIM_ObjectManager class. It may be enabled or disabled by performing a

ModifyInstance operation on the 'CIM_ObjectManager instance

in the 'PG_InterOp' namespace to set the GatherStatisticalData property

to 'true' or 'false'. This property setting is persistent across CIM

Server restarts. A statistics display test tool, cimperf, is available

from the Pegasus CVS repository. <h4>SLP Provider</h4>

This provider acts as the definer of

SLP information for SLP registration and also controls the Pegasus SLP

Service Agent. It is treated as a normal provider rather than a control

provider because it does not use internal functions of the CIMOM to

generate any of its information today. (conditionally compiled today)

</blockquote>

<h2>Pegasus Indication Listeners</h2>

Linux Specific Providers

The generic components for a CIM Listener and a

listener API are operational.  This includes the functions for

HTTP, XML indication input and response, and consumers of indications.

This code can be used to define a separate listener package and is used

as an indication listener in the Pegasus server.

Pegasus includes 3 separate Indication Listeners.

<h3>Embedded CIMListener</h3>

This listener is embedded in the CIMServer and allows the

server to accept indications and route them.

<h3>Standalone Static CIMListener</h3>

This is a standalone listener that combines the functions

of listener and consumer into a single element.

<h3>Standalone Dynamic Listener</h3>

Pegasus 2.5

includes a new standalone dynamic listener that is separate

from the current standalone CIMListener and the ExportServer listener

in the CIM server.

The use model that this listener fits is the following:

<ul>

<li> The listener may be packaged as

part of the CIMOM or it may be packaged independently as part of

another application. </li>

<li> Consumers

are developed independently of the listener and may be shipped with the

listener or added to an installed listener at a future time. </li>

</ul>

This

dynamic listener provides a solution for the above use model. It

is essentially a lightweight, pluggable listener that

provides a small set of management features. The DynamicListener can be

run inside a daemon or a service. It is easily configurable and

bypasses traditional registration procedures.  See

<a href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/protected/upreviews/20/1303/PEP195_CIMListenerEnhancementsv1_6.htm" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">PEP 195</a>  for

details.

<h3>CIM_Schema</h3>

number of older schema available in the CVS.  Further, the CIM 2.10 and CIM

2.11 schemas are available in the CVS repository and the Pegasus is compatible

with these Schemas.

The mechanism to install other schemas than the default is defined

The direct interface compiler is used primarily to provide an initial class/instance

repository. Note that use of cimmofl to manipulate instances in the repository bypasses

any provider that is registered to serve the instances and simply installs the instances

in the instance repository; this may result in corruption if providers are using the

repository.  Use of cimmofl to manipulate instances served by a registered providers

is therefore discouraged. Use of cimmof rather that cimmofl is encouraged.

WMI Mapper

The WBEM to WMI Mapper provides a way

to access

WMI data from Windows platform systems. It converts incoming XML/CIM

requests

to Microsoft WMI requests, executes the requests, converts the results

XML/CIM and returns the results to the client. WMI Mapper

receives an HTTP message containing the XML/CIM request. It decodes the

XML

message and extracts from the HTTP message header the user credentials

provided

on the connection (username and password). The WMI Mapper

authenticates these credentials, verifying if the provided credentials

have

access to the desired WMI data. This is done because the WMI Mapper runs as a service, logged on using an

account with

administrative rights (which has all access to WMI data). Because of

this, the

WMI Mapper impersonates the user

credentials provided

on the HTTP message to ensure that the calling user has rights to

browse WMI

data. Hence, ALL requests made to the WMI Mapper

MUST

contain user credentials.

<h2><a name="Supported Platforms">Supported

Platforms</a></h2>

Each Pegasus release lists as 'active' platforms those

hardware/software platforms that have recognized ports for the Pegasus

code

base including a maintainer for the platform that will be willing to

regularly document issues and/or fix defects as the Pegasus

code base is changed. 

Pegasus may be operable on other platforms (ex. Windows 98) but without

a group

to provide the role of test and maintenance, correct operation of 

Pegasus cannot be

assured.  In all cases, including the active platforms, it is the

responsibility of the entity that packages and/or compiles OpenPegasus

for shipment or deployment, to read, and actively monitor the Pegasus

bugzilla database for a list of relevant defects that affect their

platform.   The platforms that are considered 'active' for this

Pegasus release are:

3. Interop Schema - Today Pegasus provides alternatives to some of the classes in the

Interop Schema including CIM_StatisticalData.

4. execQuery operaiton - Today Pegasus does not support the execQuery pending the

availability of a standard for the query language.

5. Pegasus differs from some other implementations in the delivery of instance and

class qualifiers on some operations.

6. Pegasus has not implemented the alias functions defined in the CIM specification in

the MOF compiler.

<h2>Changes in this Release</h2>

The development and release of each version of Pegasus is defined and controlled

through Pegasus PEP documents.  PEP 57 is the controlling document this release and

lists the original set of changes proposed and the status of each of those changes. Note

that not all of the originally defined functionality was completed for this release.

In general, the changes implemented for this release were:

<ol>

<li>Introduction of platform globalization. </li>

<li>Provider Registration - Pegasus supports registration

<li>Introduction of a listener API</li>

through a set of Pegasus Provider registration classes rather than

<li>Introduction of SLP (still experimental and by default not compiled in the 2.3.0

support the DMTF defined Provider Qualifier. Pegasus will not support

release)</li>

this qualifier in the future. See the readme for more information on

<li>Introduction of a new pluggable Provider Manager (still experimental and by default not

provider registration.</li>

compiled in the 2.3.0 release)</li>

<li> Indications -Today Pegasus supports process

<li>Introduction of extensive changes to the HTTP monitor (still experimental and not

indications but does not

compiled in the 2.3.0 release)</li>

include any specific support for lifecycle indications.</li>

<li>Incorporation of a Java Client based on the SNIA code base.</li>

<li>

<li>Additional Indication Handlers (SNMP)</li>

IncludeQualifiers

<li>Improvements to indication handling.</li>

option on Instance Operations

The DMTF specifications are unclear regarding the inclusion of

qualifiers on

CIM instances.  Some CIM Client implementations expect instances

returned

from the CIM Server to include the qualifiers defined in the class

definition (such as KEY qualifiers on properties).   Pegasus

today expects the provider to complete the qualifiers on instances in

accordance with the specification and generally the interpretation is

that Pegasus applies class level qualifiers when the includeInstance

parameter is supplied on instance operations.  However, Pegasus

today is inconsistent in the return of qualifiers so that the user

should NOT depend on Pegasus accurately honoring the includeQualifier

parameter for instance operations.  In the future it is expected

that Pegasus will deprecate the use of qualifiers on instance

operations completely.

</li>

<li>LocalOnly option on instance

Operations - With the 1.1 version of Specification for CIM

Operations over HTTP, the definition of the LocalOnly parameter for the

GetInstance and EnumerateInstances operations was modified. This change

was incorrect, resulted in reduced functionality and introduced a

number of backward compatibility issues. As a result of issues

introduced by this change, we strongly recommend that CIM Clients set

LocalOnly = false and do not rely on the use of this parameter to

filter the set of set of properties returned.</li>

<li>

CIM MOF compiler function for

instance aliasing - The Pegasus MOF compiler does not today support

this function.  This function is planned for a future version.

</li>

<li>

MultiRequest Oprations - Pegasus

does not support the DMTF defined MultiRequest Operation option.

</li>

<li>

MOFCompiler namespace pragma - The

Pegasus compiler does not support the namespace pragma.

</li>

</ol>

<h2><a name="Changes in This Release">Changes in This Release</a></h2>

Note that there were a number of objectives that were not completely achieved

The development and release of each version of Pegasus is defined

including:

and

controlled through Pegasus PEP documents.  PEP 180 is the

controlling document  for Pegasus 2.5.0 and PEP 239 is the controlling

document for this release. These PEPs list the original set of changes proposed and the

status of

each of those changes. Note that not all of the originally defined

functionality was completed for this release.

In general, the areas of development for release 2.5.0 were:

Addition of CQL

stage 1 support

</li>

Refactoring of

Object Normalizer function to improve performance.

</li>

Out of Process

Provider user level request.

</li>

Embedded Object

support.

</li>

Command Line

Utilities

</li>

enhancements

</li>

Completion of

AutoPtr enhancements.

</li>

Certificate

management and user-based certificate authentication

</li>

Completion of HTTP

chunking. Pegasus

now supports HTTP V1.1 transfer encoding otherwise known as chunking .<a href="http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/5097/PEP140_ChunkedEncoding_4.3.html">

PEP 140</a> describes the implementation details.

</li>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">Client side performance

<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">Syslog Indication handler.</li>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">Email Indication handler.</li>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;">Port to OpenVMS.</li>

</ol>

For release 2.5.1, a number of additional changes were made( See PEP 239 for

more details) Note: there was no PEP controlling Pegasus 2.5.2 changes, simply

approved bugs:.

<li>Significant performance improvements ( better than 10 to 1 for operations

and 3 to 1 for indications). (bug 4225)</li>

<li>Improved support for the several platforms (Solaris, MacOS, HardHat Linux)</li>

<li>Modified Makefile targets for easier usage.</li>

<li>Extended and reorganized unit and end-end tests.</li>

<li>Completed implementation of statistics gathering for operations.</li>

<li>Further integrated CMPI and added additional tests.</li>

<li>Consolidate some of the compile-time variables. Largely this meant moving

from separate variables for DISABLE and ENABLE to a single variable where the

value representes the state.</li>

<li>Corrected error where Pegasus could not maintain general whitespace in

strings (bug 4624).</li>

<li>SLP extended to allow optional use of OpenSLP as the Service Agent (SA) in place of

the Pegasus internal SA.</li>

<li>Changes to align OpenPegasus and Red Hat RPM packaging and configuration

options.</li>

<li>Additonal testing and integration of the  JMPI provider manager.</li>

</ol>

Specifically the status of several components of Pegasus functionality were

moved in status on the Feature Status Page as follows:

<ol>

<li>SLP integration - This code is in place but is compiled only with a conditional compile

<li>Binary Repository move to green (production capable). (see bug 4388)</li>

flag. This code can be enabled by setting the environment variables PEGASUS_SLP_ENABLE and

<li>Out of Process providers</li>

PEGASUS_SLP_CLASSES and recompiling Pegasus.</li>

<li>Pegasus Provider Interfaces, User Context for Linux and Unix</li>

<li>Pluggable provider manager - This was a major objective but because the code changes

were extensive and released very late in the developement cycle of 2.3, both the old and

the new provider managers are maintained in the release AND the old provider manager is

defined as the default compile.  To compile and run with the new pluggable provider

manager functions the user must set a compile flag (ENABLE_PROVIDER_MANAGER2).  NOTE:

It is the intention of the Pegasus project to move to the new provider manager as soon as

possible.</li>

<li>HTTP Monitor enhancements - As with the Pluggable Provider Manager, it was the intention

to incorporate a number of enhancements to the HTTP monitor.  Again because the time

in the development phase when they were submitted, the project team elected to release 2.3

with the existing monitor as the default compile but with the code for both monitors. It

is the intention to move to the new monitor as soon as possible and users are free to work

with either implementation.  To compile and run with the new monitor use the flag

PEGASUS_MONITOR2.</li>
