40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following

files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,

TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,

IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of

Line 284

(TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include

nsk platform links.

41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue

toString() method for CIMValues of String type. The old behavior

returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters

replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents. For example, a CIMValue of a"b

would be returned as a"b. The new behavior just returns the

String value directly with no translation. (Note that

CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)

This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the

repository. CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by

CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to

CIMValue.toString(). GetInstance searches for the instance name

without UTF-8 encoding of special characters. For GetInstance to

be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name

in that same form, without special character encoding.

42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to

the CIMValue class. Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),

often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().

Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.

43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function

localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) 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.

44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class

to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values

from EnumerateInstances. The client and provider APIs need to

be updated to use this class.

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.

50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration

properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:

repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.

Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the

default provider for instance (and association) operations. The default

setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed. To

disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the

following command before starting cimserver:

cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p

The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what

provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a

provider. This is necessary when the repository needs to serve

instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set

to "false". The default value is "repository". To register the

repository as an instance provider for a class, add a

'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.

51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to

pass to providers that act as services. This handle provides

service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.

52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - 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.

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.
