CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS

Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002

Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.

TAG: VERSION_1_07

1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07 and tagged file.

2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.

3. KS - 18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.

This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only

reset when a value is "set" or copied into them. the XML and MOF

also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.

There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when

the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.

4. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.

5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.

Note that this version of the paper still needs work.

6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to

loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal()

method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system

configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use

modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001

1. Merged back to Main branch. All general development will be in main branch

in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments

may temporarily be in side branches.

Changed cimversion to 1.06. We will do 1.1 based on functionality.

2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository

implementations will be kept to separate them from the

repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile

which is the current file based repository.

Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command

to remove an existing repository. It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER

command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system

in the future.

3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - 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.

4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - 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.

5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it

runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running

forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver

service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient

program.

6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription,

CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed

in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.

CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE

CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE

CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE

CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE

CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE

CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE

This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving

CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from

IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear.

IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration

when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.

CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE

CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE

I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication

and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate

old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a

plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.

There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create

Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.

Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 - Development Branch (Work in Progress)

current working dev branch of build

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)

1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating

PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).

2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.

=======

1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be

seen as part of CGIclient class displays.

operations. Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only

work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.

53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the

Security components for authentication and authorization.

Authentication and User Management:

cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal

and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored

in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd

generated password file.

cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting

to add/remove/list user authorizations.

User Manager and User Manager Provider components implement the user

management and authorization functionality.

54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory

under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.

55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider

which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.

It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.

56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h

and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the

NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.

57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication

subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the

CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler

classes (from CIM_Events27.mof). The service also takes appropriate action

in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider,

or change in provider registration.

58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service

and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.

For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper

in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.

59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).

It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined

in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional

constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context

structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an

MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences

between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class

is defined even in a non-ssl environment.

How to use it in a Server or Client:

1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space

2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this

SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors

without SSL_Context for conventional connections.

The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and

cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.

60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

61. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2001 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner

class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository

location, Provider location and Consumer location.

The default location for these properties continue to be the same

as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the

Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to

return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.

For more information look in to the following files:

pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h

pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp

When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be

modified to integrate with the framework.

8. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Removed the ltoa() function call from Tracer.cpp.

Added a constant to define the maximum length of uint32.
