45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 Added the cimuser command line |
| |
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 implemented. Added the function |
| |
String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files. |
| |
|
| |
46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 Implemented Authentication code on |
| |
the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate |
| |
the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests. |
| |
Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send |
| |
responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation |
| |
supports only 'local' authentication mechanism. |
| |
|
| |
47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 Commited the following set of changes: |
| |
|
| |
- 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. |
| |
|
| |
When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible: |
| |
|
| |
- Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which |
| |
they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the |
| |
PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the |
| |
list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by |
| |
issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of |
| |
properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace |
| |
the entire instance. |
| |
|
| |
- Providers will be required to return instance names along with |
| |
instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive |
| |
these instance names, as the standard dictates. |
| |
|
| |
- Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the |
| |
PropertyList instead of an Array<String>. This change allows |
| |
providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list. |
| |
|
| |
Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in |
| |
ModifyInstance correctly. |
| |
|
| |
48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 I have updated the Provider2 instance |
| |
provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and |
| |
ModifyInstance operations. These changes were made to comply with |
| |
the DMTF specification. |
| |
|
| |
The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no |
| |
plans to do so. Providers written to the original API will |
| |
continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity |
| |
to take advantage of the features that have been added. |
| |
|
| |
The significant changes to the Provider2 API are: |
| |
|
| |
- Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which |
| |
they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the |
| |
PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the |
| |
list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by |
| |
issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of |
| |
properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace |
| |
the entire instance. |
| |
|
| |
- Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance |
| |
which they are required to respect. If IncludeQualifiers is |
| |
false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not |
| |
be used to update the instance. |
| |
|
| |
- Providers will be required to return instance names along with |
| |
instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive |
| |
these instance names, as the standard dictates. |
| |
|
| |
The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated. |
| |
However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw |
| |
a NOT_SUPPORTED exception. |
| |
|
| |
49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 To support the NSK platform, |
| |
files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to |
| |
the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK |
| |
platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation |
| |
without the standard (std) namespace. |
