1336                 All functions are considered community tested and operational unless
1337                 specifically noted below. Features that are marked alpha or beta are

1340                 interface definitions but that the Pegasus team feels may change are
1341                 marked experimental. In many cases these features&nbsp; and interfaces
1342                 are conditionally compiled with special environment variables. <a

1423                   <h4>Object Normalization</h4>
1424                 The Object Normalizer is an entity introduced in Pegasus 2.4 that
1425                 ensures
1426                 objects delivered from providers are complete and accurate. Two major
1427                 issues were identified with the initial implementation: 1) the Object
1428                 Normalizer drops instances it considers bad, and 2) the Object
1429                 Normalizer code slows performance. These issues are now addressed by
1430                 moving the Object Normalizer from the Dispatcher to the Response
1431                 Handler (or equivalent) and optimizing the existing implementation. The

1448                   <h4>Embedded Object support</h4>
1449                 Pegasus 2.5 now provides embedded object support. The proposed solution
1450                 is restricted to the following:<br>
1451                 The only representation for embedded objects supported by this
1452                 PEP is CIM-XML. <br>
1453                 CIMObject is implemented as a new CIMValue type. This type will be used
1454                 internally to represent embedded objects. When externalized (via
1455                 CIM-XML) these objects will be converted to strings representing valid
1456 dave.sudlik 1.6 INSTANCE or CLASS elements, in accordance with the CIM Infrastructure
1457                 Specification.&nbsp; Embedded instances will also carry the
1458                 EmbeddedObject attribute with
1459                 the value "object", as specified by CR Interop-00217.001. <br>

1658                 support is enabled with the slp configuration parameter (slp=true). SLP
1659                 support includes an SLP service agent in the Pegasus CIM sever and
1660                 generates SLP advertisements compatible with the DMTF slp template
1661                 specification. The SLP support also includes&nbsp; extensions to the
1662                 CIM Client libraries to execute SLP User Agent requests and analyze the
1663                 results (note that these interfaces are not yet part of the Pegasus
1664                 public SDK).<br>
1665                 Note: Pegasus on Windows is built with SLP support on by default and to
1666 dave.sudlik 1.6 exclude it from the build, then PEGASUS_DISABLE_SLP must be set.<br>

1668                   <h4>Provider Managers</h4>
1669                   <p>Pegasus is designed to support multiple Provider Managers to allow
1670                 multiple provider interfaces to the CIMOM.&nbsp; The two default
1671                 provider managers are the Pegasus C++ Interface and Common
1672                 Manageability Programming Interface (CMPI) Interface.<br>

1899                 and Provider API were originally frozen at the&nbsp;Pegasus version 2.1
1900                 release. The interfaces in the release of Pegasus 2.1 are forward
1901                 compatible to this release. Well-behaved clients and providers compiled
1902                 to the Pegasus 2.1 or 2.2 interfaces should be compatible with this
1903                 release without compilation.&nbsp; There have been extensions and new
1904                 interfaces added for this release and these are marked as experimental.
1905                 &nbsp; The Pegasus public
1906                 interfaces includes the following major functions</p>

1920                 is a component that can be used to consume indications without a
1921                 dependency on the Pegasus CIMOM. In environments where no CIMOM is
1922                 running or a physical separation between the indication listener and
1923                 the CIMOM is desired, CIM Listener fits the bill. Still, there are

1957                 <p>The WBEM to WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> provides a way
1958                 to access
1959                 WMI data from Windows platform systems. It converts incoming XML/CIM
1960 dave.sudlik 1.6 requests
1961                 to Microsoft WMI requests, executes the requests, converts the results
1962                 to
1963                 XML/CIM and returns the results to the client. WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span>
1964                 receives an HTTP message containing the XML/CIM request. It decodes the
1965                 XML
1966                 message and extracts from the HTTP message header the user credentials
1967                 provided
1968                 on the connection (username and password). The WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span>
1969                 authenticates these credentials, verifying if the provided credentials
1970                 have
1971                 access to the desired WMI data. This is done because the WMI <span
1972                  class="SpellE">Mapper</span> runs as a service, logged on using an
1973                 account with
1974                 administrative rights (which has all access to WMI data). Because of
1975                 this, the
1976                 WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span> impersonates the user
1977                 credentials provided
1978                 on the HTTP message to ensure that the calling user has rights to
1979                 browse WMI
1980                 data. Hence, ALL requests made to the WMI <span class="SpellE">Mapper</span>
1981 dave.sudlik 1.6 MUST
1982                 contain user credentials.<br>

2236                 <p>It is a major goal
2237                 of the OpenPegasus project to both drive and utilize the DMTF CIM/WBEM
2238                 specifications.&nbsp; However, today there are a number of known
2239                 differences.&nbsp;
2240                 As of this release, some of the differences include the following:</p>
2241                 <ol>
2242                   <li><b>Provider Registration</b> - Pegasus supports registration
2243                 through a set of Pegasus Provider registration classes rather than
2244                 support the DMTF defined Provider Qualifier. Pegasus will not support
2245                 this qualifier in the future. See the readme for more information on
2246                 provider registration.</li>
2247                   <li>&nbsp;<b>Indications </b>-Today Pegasus supports process
2248                 indications but does not
2249                 include any specific support for lifecycle indications.</li>

2254 dave.sudlik 1.6 -
2255                 The DMTF specifications are unclear regarding the inclusion of
2256                 qualifiers on
2257                 CIM instances.&nbsp; Some CIM Client implementations expect instances
2258                 returned
2259                 from the CIM Server to include the qualifiers defined in the class
2260                 definition (such as KEY qualifiers on properties).&nbsp; </span>&nbsp;Pegasus
2261                 today expects the provider to complete the qualifiers on instances in
2262                 accordance with the specification and generally the interpretation is
2263                 that Pegasus applies class level qualifiers when the includeInstance
2264                 parameter is supplied on instance operations.&nbsp; However, Pegasus
2265                 today is inconsistent in the return of qualifiers so that the user
2266                 should NOT depend on Pegasus accurately honoring the includeQualifier
2267                 parameter for instance operations.&nbsp; In the future it is expected
2268                 that Pegasus will deprecate the use of qualifiers on instance
2269                 operations completely.</p>
2270                   </li>
2271                   <li><b>LocalOnly option on instance
2272                 Operations </b>- With the 1.1 version of Specification for CIM
2273                 Operations over HTTP, the definition of the LocalOnly parameter for the
2274                 GetInstance and EnumerateInstances operations was modified. This change
2275 dave.sudlik 1.6 was incorrect, resulted in reduced functionality and introduced a
2276                 number of backward compatibility issues. As a result of issues
2277                 introduced by this change, we strongly recommend that CIM Clients set
2278                 LocalOnly = false and do not rely on the use of this parameter to
2279                 filter the set of set of properties returned.</li>
