HP-RK API Review: Updated the CIMName class to a data type class; Added CIMNamespaceName as a data type class; Updated the client, provider, and common (CIM*) classes to use CIMName and CIMNamespaceName in place of String when handing CIM names (class, property, qualifier, method, and parameter names); Changed the CIMClass constructor to take a CIMName for the class name instead of a CIMObjectPath; Changed the CIMName::equal method to be non-static

HP-[CAKG] Modify test suite to allow specification of a location in which all temporary files (e.g. output files, repository files, etc.) are created

HP-JY Removed cimserver command options in favor of configuration properties.

HP-JY Implemented a cimserver_kill() method to kill the cimserver process.

HP-[CAKG] Remove CIMObjectWithPath class; use CIMObject

HP-SF: Fixed getenv(PEGASUS_TRACE) to use Tracer. Fixed UserAuthProvider and ConfigProvider to check for user credentials. Fixed a couple of cimmofMessages that were always implying that the repository as the default instance provider.

HP-SF: Fixed getenv(PEGASUS_TRACE) to use Tracer. Fixed UserAuthProvider and ConfigProvider to check for user credentials. Fixed a couple of cimmofMessages that were always implying that the repository as the default instance provider.

add comment on dispatcher update for hiearchy

HP-RK Reworked the Array template so that the implementation is hidden from clients and providers.  This was accomplished by using explicit instantiation of the array template for each array type that is supported in the client and provider APIs.  The array template implementation is still available for use within the Pegasus core, allowing implicit instantiation of additional array types used internally.

HP-Nag: Added config properties 'enableHttpConnection' and 'enableHttpsConnection', renamed 'requireAuthentication' to 'enableAuthentication' and 'requireAuthorization' to 'enableNamespaceAuthorization'. Removed few ATTN's in Authentication code.

AtomicInt implementation using pthread_spinlock

added ProviderAdapter support

HP-SF: Fixed a problem with repository related to rollback failure.

HP-Nag: Modified CIM Server and Client API to lookup port number from services. CIM Server uses default port number (5988 for HTTP or 5989 for HTTPS) if no port number is configured and no port is specified in the configuration file. CIMClient's connectLocal() method is modified to try and connect to HTTP port, if failed then try and connect to HTTPS port.

HP-SF: Fixed the problem where GetInstance on a derived class was returning incorrect ClassOrigin for the base class properties. Updated the GetFilter response files to reflect the change. Fixed ATTN in PasswordFile.cpp. The SecurityPropertyOwner now checks for passwordFile= condition.

HP-Nag: Moved SSLContext class out of TLS files, created SSLContextRep to hide member functions and data from the users of SSLContext. Also included CertificateInfo in SSLContext files and removed the CertificateInfo files.

HP-RK Reworked the Array template so that each array has its own ArrayRep copy rather than Arrays sharing ArrayReps and reference counting.

HP-Nag: Implemented SSL handling in CIMClient.cpp for local connection and modified the CLIs to not to pass SSLContext to the client api.

HP-RK Moved CIM*::toMof() methods to a new MofWriter class as MofWriter::append*Element().  Moved CIM*::printMof() methods to MofWriter::print*Element().

HP-RK Moved CIM*::toXml() methods to XmlWriter::append*Element().  Moved CIM*::print() methods to XmlWriter::print*Element().  Putting this function in XmlWriter instead of the CIM* classes keeps those internal methods out of the published client and provider APIs.

HP-Nag: Implemented Certification verification code in TLS.cpp, created a new class CertificateInfo to pass certificate information to the clients call back function. Modified CIMServer.cpp and the Command lines that are using SSLContext to pass the certificate verification call back function. Fixed few display messages in cimconfig command.

HP-RK Removed operator int() methods from all CIM* classes.  These methods had been causing a number of difficult to find defects, including the use of the wrong versions of the methods in Memory.h by the Array template (leading to major memory leaks).  In general, it is dangerous to define a casting operator method that loses so much information, because the compiler will apply the cast at will in an effort to match types.  I've replaced all instances of the int cast operator with isNull() methods.

HP-RK Added a Mutex to the ArrayRep structure.  This Mutex gets locked in the inc() and dec() methods that manage the reference count.

*** empty log message ***

HP-SF: Updated the Logger to log to syslog on HP-UX. Fixed the CIMDate::getCurrentDateTime() to return local time instead of UTC time. Updated the getDifference to compute the difference between two intervals.

HP-RK Reworked the String class.  Fixed the places where StrLen() was reading off the end of arrays.  Removed the Cat() functions.  Moved Open(), OpenAppend(), and GetLine() functions to the FileSystem module.  Removed the EmptyStringArray() method.  Moved method implementations from header file to source file.  Marked the _CString class for internal use only.

add namespace proider

HP-[DME] Fixed several problems associated with the handling of array values in the MOF compiler.

HP-RK Add copy constructors to the CIMMessage subclasses.

HP-WO Reimplement wbemexec to use a new WbemExecClient interface based on HTTPConnection instead of the obsolete Channel code. Add SSL option.

HP-RK Restructured the configuration property owners to remove redundant code.

HP-RK Overhauled the configuration property unset functionality.

HP-SLC Managed System OS Provider: enhancements and bug fixes

Performance measurement instrumentation

HP-DME: Added reference to PegasusVersion.h to allow version tracking at the component level.

HP-RK Remove the match and matchNoCase methods from the String class.

COMMIT: HiRes Timer for Windows

Associator provider handling

add comments 20 and 21 to 1.09

HP-RK Defined an exception hierarchy for CIMClient API users.  All exceptions thrown by CIMClient are now subclasses of CIMClientException.  A new message type, ClientExceptionMessage has been defined as well.  This message is used to communicate client exceptions from the CIM operation response decoder to the CIMClient.  The CIM clients that are linked into the Pegasus build have been updated to catch CIMClientException instead of CIMException.

YZ-HP: Implemented sending message of provider registration notification to subscription service.

HP-[Nitin Upasani] Consumer Modification

HP-SF: Added functions isInterval, getDifference and getCurrentDateTime to class CIMDateTime. Updated the test to call these methods.

HP-Nag: Added PAM based user authentication module. The implementation is available only on Unix platforms. The PAM module is optional and it can be built by setting the environment variable PEGASUS_PAM_AUTHENTICATION

DME: Added compile flags _REENTRANT and RWSTD_MULTI_THREAD.

DME: Changed location of ManagedSystem OS Provider to avoid collision with generic OS Provider.

DME: Extended versioning strategy to support product/platform specific version strings.

HP-RK Defined an HTTPError exception to report non-200-OK HTTP responses back to client applications.  Added an HTTPErrorMessage class to hold information about an HTTP error response.  Added support in the CIMOperationResponseDecoder to process HTTP error responses and turn them into HTTPErrorMessages.  Added support in CIMClient to process HTTPErrorMessages and throw an HTTP error.

HP-RK Changed the MessageQueue::getQueueName() method from virtual to non-virtual, and removed that method definition from all the subclasses.  To make sure that the MessageQueue class gets the queue name value, the default value for the queue name parameter to the MessageQueue constructor was removed.  Constants were defined in Constants.h for all the queue names currently used in Pegasus.  The places where those queue names were being used for lookup were also changed to use the constants.

HP-RK Define an HTTP error message to be returned to the CIMClient when an HTTP error response is returned.  Add a method to parse the status line of an HTTP response.

HP-RK Updated the Instance, Association, and Class provider interfaces to use CIMPropertyList instead of Array<String> for the propertyList parameters.

HP-RK Make IRETURNVALUE tag optional on the client side, and don't include that element on the server side when no return value is given.

DME: Updated master result file for wbemexec cmdline tests.

DME: Updated master result file for MOF Compiler cmdline tests.

DME: Add support for HPUX IA64.

add comment to 109

HP-RK Modified the CIMOperationResponseMessage class and its subclasses to contain a CIMException instead of a CIMStatusCode and String description.  This allows extra information in a CIMException, such as file name and line number, to be carried internally throughout the system.

HP-RK Integrated the ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.

HP-RK Integrated the UserAuthProvider with the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.

HP-RK Created a class to map CIM operation request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically linked into the server.

HP-Nag: Implemented Server side Basic authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.

HP-RK Added support for hexadecimal integers in XmlReader.cpp.

HP-RK Added range checking for Uint* and Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into an integer of the specified size.

HP-Nag: Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled. Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.

HP-RK Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.

New

HP-NB, HP-SF: Implemented the Security components for authentication and authorization.

HP-RK Implemented ModifyInstance in the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.  Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.

HP-RK Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.

HP-RK Added two new configuration properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository: repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.

Added NSK platform support in common module

HP-RK Extended the changes in the ModifyInstance and EnumerateInstances operations to the Provider2 API.  Updated the Pegasus providers to comply with the modified API.

HP-RK Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance> to Array<CIMNamedInstance>.  Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to CIMNamedInstance.  Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance.  Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>.  Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.  These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.  However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added functionality.

HP-NB Implemented Authentication code on the server to challenge requests, authenticate the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests. Implemented authentication mechanism in the Client API to send responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation supports only 'local' authentication mechanism. Authentication can be enabled by setting the config property 'requireAuthentication' to true.

HP-SF Added the cimuser command line interface source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider functionality is yet to be submitted. Added 'String getPassword(char* prompt)' function to the System.h and cpp files.

HP-RK Added a CIMNamedInstance class to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values from EnumerateInstances.

HP-SF Added a function to the CIMReference class to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.

HP-RK Added a toXml(void) method to CIMValue.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(), often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().  Added some error handling in the indication handlers.

HP-RK Changed CIMValue.toString() to output a String value directly rather than using _toXml() to encode it.  _toXml() replaces special characters with the UTF-8 encoding.  If the XML encoding is desired, CIMValue.toXml() should be used instead.

 nsk platform support

*** empty log message ***

HP-RK Implement encoding/decoding of GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.

HP-YZ Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference (instanceName).

HP-SF Modified tracer to return invalid components in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner init and update methods. Submitted the BuildMakefile with clean build, rebuild and trace configuration options.

comment 32 - move to CIM26

HP-JY Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow commas in key string values.

HP-SF Added an interface to the Tracer to allow tracing a specific number of bytes in a string. Modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. Changed the config file defaults for tracing.

HP-YZ Changed cimconfig to accept setting property to be NULL. Also, if -u -p is specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating property value to be default in the planned config file, remove the property from the planned config file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library. HP-NB Modified cimconfig and ConfigFileHandler to allow creating of config files when the cimconfig is run without the CIMOM running.

HP-[Nitin Upasani] Implementation of snmpIndicationHandler.

Modified ProviderModule.cpp to fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name construction (appending .sl or .so) from CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns provider file path name.

HP-[Nitin Upasani] Decoders are changed to parse Xml completely before sending request and response.

Added first level implementation of authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication module has been modified to implement the local authenticator interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests and to verify the authentication. A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator. This code is not yet linked into the build.

HP-[Nitin Upasani] Implementation of InvokeMethod.

HP-BJH Added some tracing for provider loading.

HP-[CAKG] wbemexec CLI bug fix and enhanced debug option

HP-NB Modified Config framework to remove dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI to show user friendly error/status messages.
