1 karl 1.1 CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS
2 karl 1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001 3 4 1. Merged back to Main branch. All general development will be in main branch 5 in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments 6 may temporarily be in side branches. 7 Changed cimversion to 1.06. We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
8 karl 1.53 9 2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 10 implementations will be kept to separate them from the 11 repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile 12 which is the current file based repository. 13 14 Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command 15 to remove an existing repository. It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER 16 command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system 17 in the future.
18 karl 1.52
19 kumpf 1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder 20 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are 21 present. If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER 22 exception is thrown. Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the 23 intrinsic methods. If a parameter is specified more than once, a 24 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown. 25
26 kumpf 1.55 6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue 27 and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder 28 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create 29 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled. 30 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make 31 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher. 32
33 mary 1.56 7. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 34 runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 35 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 36 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 37 program. 38 39

42 mike 1.51 Version 1.1.1 - 3 August 2001 - Development Branch (Work in Progress) 43 current working dev branch of build
44 mike 1.36
45 karl 1.49 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 46 Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress) 47
48 mike 1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating 49 PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references). 50 51 2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
52 mike 1.51 ======= 53 1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be 54 seen as part of CGIclient class displays. 55 56 2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version 57 to the final version in Schemas\CIM25. This included minor 58 corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the 59 official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF. This change 60 should not affect any current work. 61 3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas 62 directorys. Note however that today the make repository still 63 loads the 2.5 schema. 64 65 4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers 66 on XML output. 67 68 5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem 69 in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp, 70 RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp). aCC scopes variable 71 declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple 72 "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error. 73 mike 1.51 74 6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 75 dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 76 cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 77 and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 78 were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 79 provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 80 provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 81 to show user friendly error/status messages. 82 83 7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 84 (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected). 85 Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 86 generating debug output. 87 88 8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in 89 xml when it generates xml output. 90 91 9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into 92 a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default 93 repository implementation. 94 mike 1.51 95 10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation. 96 97 11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element. 98 99 12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach. 100 101 13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples. 102 103 14. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 21 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug that was creating an empty file when trace was not enabled. Changed the Tracer test program's executable file name to TracerTest instead of Tracer. 104 105 15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules. 106 CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder. 107 108 16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete. 109 110 17. (Jim Chou - HP) 12 Sep 2001 - Initial contribution of wbemexec test directory and make infrastructure. This submittal also includes an initial set of test scripts. 111 112 18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS. 113 114 19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server 115 mike 1.51 interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with 116 a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information. 117 118 20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files 119 CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 120 input and output can be written in a trace file. 121 122 21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support 123 Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and 124 deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !). 125 126 22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and 127 ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample 128 consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the 129 indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete 130 implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and 131 RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files 132 are modified to implement above messages. 133 134 XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete 135 operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication 136 mike 1.51 instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the 137 indication to consumer. This program needs 138 src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 139 and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded 140 in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test 141 program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and 142 modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as 143 below: 144 145 //==================================================================== 146 // CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP 147 //==================================================================== 148 [Description ( 149 "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for " 150 "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML " 151 "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ] 152 153 23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in 154 ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading 155 a provider library. 156 157 mike 1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod 158 interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as 159 type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give 160 information about param name, type and value. This should be changed 161 to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the 162 parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod 163 call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while 164 travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of 165 CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed 166 later). 167 168 Also added are two test programs: 169 170 src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of 171 CIMParamValue class. 172 173 src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to 174 InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current 175 implementation assumes that provider had returned true value 176 and outParameters (which are now hard coded in 177 CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality) 178 mike 1.51 which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client. 179 180 25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of 181 authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager 182 and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication 183 module has been modified to implement the local authenticator 184 interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests 185 and to verify the authentication. 186 187 A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator. 188 This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not 189 yet linked into the build. 190 191 26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export 192 Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses 193 before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send 194 request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall. 195 New changes collects the Message* as return value from the 196 appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on 197 _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully. 198 199 mike 1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to 200 fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the 201 providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name 202 construction (appending .sl or .so) from 203 CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to 204 ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns 205 provider file path name. 206 207 28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication 208 Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class 209 definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap 210 structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file. 211 Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master 212 agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism. 213 Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to 214 implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 215 216 29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to 217 be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating 218 property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the 219 plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library. 220 mike 1.51 221 30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 222 to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given 223 string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 224 Changed the config file defaults for tracing. 225 226 31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq 227 NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files 228 were added: platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak, 229 library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 230 program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered 231 all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now 232 only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and 233 library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 234 File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak. 235 236 32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow 237 commas (,) in the string values of key properties. 238 239 33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6 240 241 mike 1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in 242 pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for 243 the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced 244 leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required 245 in make files. 246 247 35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 248 because getting an error in 26 249 250 35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys 251 whose types are references. These reference values must be 252 treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE 253 tag structure. 254 255 Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values. 256 For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string 257 type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs. 258 259 I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and 260 CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the 261 XML in the proper format. However, making that change required 262 mike 1.51 that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key 263 of String type and a key of reference type. 264 265 I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to 266 allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of 267 reference type. The "official" form uses the same encoding for 268 key values of String type and of reference type, and so it 269 would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up 270 the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the 271 key values. This is clearly too inefficient for internal 272 transformations between CIMReferences and String values. 273 274 The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value 275 for a key of reference type (before the opening '"'). This allows 276 the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or 277 reference type. 278 279 In this example: 280 281 MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10" 282 283 mike 1.51 Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets 284 the usual encoding. Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R' 285 is inserted before its encoded value. Note that this algorithm is 286 recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type, 287 which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation. 288 289 The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry. A new 290 KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a 291 CIMReference that are of reference type. This KeyBinding type must 292 be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave 293 correctly. 294 295 The files that have been modified to make this change are 296 CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp. 297 298 A result of this change is that instances names in the instance 299 repository will include this extra 'R' character. Thus, you will 300 need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest 301 CIMOM version. 302 303 Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance 304 mike 1.51 names (such as might appear in MOF for static association 305 instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and 306 therefore unacceptable. It is likely that these points will need 307 to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class 308 definition to determine the key property types. 309 310 36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 311 in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner 312 init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 313 cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options. 314 315 37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 316 (instanceName). 317 318 38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of 319 GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages. 320 Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all 321 relevant intrinsic methods. 322 323 39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase 324 ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp 325 mike 1.51 326 40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following 327 files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp, 328 TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp, 329 IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of 330 SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files 331 (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include 332 nsk platform links. 333 334 41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue 335 toString() method for CIMValues of String type. The old behavior 336 returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters 337 replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents. For example, a CIMValue of a"b 338 would be returned as a"b. The new behavior just returns the 339 String value directly with no translation. (Note that 340 CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.) 341 342 This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the 343 repository. CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by 344 CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to 345 CIMValue.toString(). GetInstance searches for the instance name 346 mike 1.51 without UTF-8 encoding of special characters. For GetInstance to 347 be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name 348 in that same form, without special character encoding. 349 350 42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to 351 the CIMValue class. Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(), 352 often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml(). 353 Also added some error handling in the indication handlers. 354 355 43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 356 localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 357 to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 358 CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 359 Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml. 360 361 44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class 362 to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values 363 from EnumerateInstances. The client and provider APIs need to 364 be updated to use this class. 365 366 45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 367 mike 1.51 source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 368 of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 369 functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 370 String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files. 371 372 46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on 373 the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate 374 the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests. 375 Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send 376 responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation 377 supports only 'local' authentication mechanism. 378 379 47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes: 380 381 - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance> 382 to Array<CIMNamedInstance> 383 - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to 384 CIMNamedInstance 385 - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance 386 - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the 387 CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String> 388 mike 1.51 389 Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification. 390 391 These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider 392 API. For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the 393 differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function. 394 However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added 395 functionality. 396 397 When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible: 398 399 - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which 400 they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the 401 PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the 402 list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by 403 issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of 404 properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace 405 the entire instance. 406 407 - Providers will be required to return instance names along with 408 instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive 409 mike 1.51 these instance names, as the standard dictates. 410 411 - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the 412 PropertyList instead of an Array<String>. This change allows 413 providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list. 414 415 Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in 416 ModifyInstance correctly. 417 418 48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance 419 provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and 420 ModifyInstance operations. These changes were made to comply with 421 the DMTF specification. 422 423 The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no 424 plans to do so. Providers written to the original API will 425 continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity 426 to take advantage of the features that have been added. 427 428 The significant changes to the Provider2 API are: 429 430 mike 1.51 - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which 431 they are required to respect. Providers that can not process the 432 PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the 433 list is not null. Clients can take advantage of this change by 434 issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of 435 properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace 436 the entire instance. 437 438 - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance 439 which they are required to respect. If IncludeQualifiers is 440 false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not 441 be used to update the instance. 442 443 - Providers will be required to return instance names along with 444 instances in the EnumerateInstances method. Clients will receive 445 these instance names, as the standard dictates. 446 447 The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated. 448 However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw 449 a NOT_SUPPORTED exception. 450 451 mike 1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform, 452 files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to 453 the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK 454 platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation 455 without the standard (std) namespace. 456 457 50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration 458 properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository: 459 repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName. 460 461 Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the 462 default provider for instance (and association) operations. The default 463 setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed. To 464 disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the 465 following command before starting cimserver: 466 467 cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p 468 469 The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what 470 provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a 471 provider. This is necessary when the repository needs to serve 472 mike 1.51 instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set 473 to "false". The default value is "repository". To register the 474 repository as an instance provider for a class, add a 475 'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition. 476 477 51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to 478 pass to providers that act as services. This handle provides 479 service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures. 480 481 52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in 482 the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and 483 PropertyList parameters. Updated SetProperty in the repository 484 so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly. The repository now 485 supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance. 486 487 Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and 488 Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and 489 ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider. Providers 490 written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new 491 ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty 492 operations. Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only 493 mike 1.51 work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation. 494 495 53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the 496 Security components for authentication and authorization. 497 498 Authentication and User Management: 499 cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal 500 and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored 501 in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 502 generated password file. 503 504 cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting 505 to add/remove/list user authorizations. 506 507 User Manager and User Manager Provider components implement the user 508 management and authorization functionality. 509 510 54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory 511 under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF. 512 513 55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider 514 mike 1.51 which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider. 515 It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes. 516 517 56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h 518 and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the 519 NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file. 520 521 57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication 522 subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 523 CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 524 classes (from CIM_Events27.mof). The service also takes appropriate action 525 in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 526 or change in provider registration. 527 528 58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service 529 and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully. 530 For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 531 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf. 532 533 59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only). 534 It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined 535 mike 1.51 in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional 536 constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context 537 structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an 538 MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences 539 between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class 540 is defined even in a non-ssl environment. 541 How to use it in a Server or Client: 542 1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space 543 2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this 544 SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors 545 without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
546 mike 1.50
547 mike 1.51 The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and 548 cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag. 549 550 60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S. 551 552 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 553 Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch 554 Tagged as version_1_01 on 3 August 2001 (sorry should have been 555 1.1 556 557 1. (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver 558 indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler 559 and ExportClient classes. the indication. 560 561 Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to 562 make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively. 563 564 Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and 565 SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation. 566 567 2. (Markus Mueller - IBM) Implementation of a Linux specific threading 568 mike 1.51 library and a thread-safe message queue (first stage). Classes defined 569 are Mutex, Condition, Semaphore, AtomicInt, ReadWriteSem, cleanup_handler 570 and SimpleThread. 571 572 3. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) Implementation of wbemexec CLI. Please refer 573 to the man page in pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/doc/wbemexec.html for more 574 information on using wbemexec. A simple test script is included. Please 575 see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for information on running 576 the test script. 577 578 4. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Implementation of Trace Framework. Please 579 refer to the documentation in src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingDevGuide.pdf 580 and 581 src/Pegasus/Common/doc/TracingUserGuide.pdf for more information on using 582 the Trace framework. Classes defined are src/Pegasus/Common/Tracer.cpp and 583 src/Pegasus/Common/TraceFileHandler.cpp. 584 585 5. (Nag Boranna - HP) Implementation of Config Framework, Config Provider and 586 Config CLI. Please refer to the documentation 587 in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMConfigurationWorkPaper.pdf and the man page 588 in pegasus/src/Clients/cimconfig/doc/cimconfig.html for more information on 589 mike 1.51 using the config framework and cimconfig CLI. Make sure to load the config 590 mof (src/gmake config) before starting the cimserver. A simple test script 591 is included. Please see pegasus/src/Clients/wbemexec/tests/readme for 592 information on running the test script. 593 594 6. (Karl Schopmeyer 31 July 2001) - Add toMof functions to the CIM objects 595 (changed the H and CPP files for the major CIM objects. These 596 functions generate CIM MOF output for the objects. 597 598 7. (Bapu Patil - HP) Implementation of Local Channel Authentication. Local 599 Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients 600 that 601 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a 602 password. 603 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design. 604 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main 605 build. 606 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be 607 modified to integrate with the framework.

622 mike 1.37 (references(), associators(), referenceNames(), associatorNames()). 623
624 kumpf 1.39 2. (Jenny Yu - HP) Fixed problem in CGIClient.cpp to handle double quotes 625 in the HTML URL reference for passing instance names. 626
627 mike 1.41 3. (Mike Brasher) Mass substitution to prepend CIM_ERR to CIM Status Codes. 628 629 4. (Mike Brasher) Added CIM Message types in preparation for qeueing. 630
631 kumpf 1.40 3. (Denise E. - HP) HP-UX specific changes to lslp-perl-linux,h and slp.h to 632 allow slp to compile. 633
634 mike 1.42 4. (Mike Brasher) - Finalized CIM messages. 635 636 5. (Mike Brasher) - Added queue ids concept (using hash table which maps 637 ids to queue pointers). 638
639 mike 1.43 6. (Mike Brasher) - Started integration of message queues with ServerHandler 640 and Dispatcher. 641
642 karl 1.48 7. (Chip Vincent) - Update Provider2 interfaces. Made changes to Dispatcher 643 and 644 CIMProvider to support both interfaces. Added CIMOMHandle and sample
645 chip 1.44 ResponseHandler for Provider2 interface.

659 mike 1.26
660 karl 1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
661 karl 1.16 662 1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day. This includes code bothe 663 for NT and Linux platforms.
664 mike 1.26
665 karl 1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to 666 5988. 667 NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by 668 the DMTF.
669 mike 1.26
670 karl 1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF 671 Fusion event. THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from 672 CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF. Not strictly legal but widely used. b). 673 Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
674 mike 1.26
675 bob 1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp 676 and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}. This is the first step in 677 revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
678 mike 1.26
679 bob 1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified 680 Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp. 681 Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser 682 files instead of generating your own for a particular platform. This should 683 prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome 684 code. The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
685 bob 1.20 (grb)
686 mike 1.26
687 bob 1.20 6. Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes. 688 This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler 689 to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
690 mike 1.26
691 karl 1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
692 mike 1.26
693 karl 1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance, 694 modifyClass,
695 chip 1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
696 mike 1.26
697 karl 1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2 698 directory. These 699 interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations. 700 CIMProviderStub has
701 chip 1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
702 mike 1.26
703 sage 1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
704 mike 1.26
705 karl 1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository. To rebuild 706 repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
707 mike 1.26 708 12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
709 mike 1.27 (MEB) 710 711 13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported). 712 Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still. 713 Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations). 714 Need to handle deleteInstance(). 715 (MEB)
716 mike 1.26
717 mday 1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD) 718
719 karl 1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install 720 AssociationName
721 karl 1.29 and ReferenceName functions. This included extensive update to the HTML 722 pages. 723
724 karl 1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
725 sage 1.31 726 17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed 727 ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB). 728 Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment 729 variables.
730 mike 1.32 731 18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(), 732 References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate 733 on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
734 kumpf 1.34 735 19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support 736 changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries 737 buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest 738 change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific 739 lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile 740 and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of 741 these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
742 karl 1.35 743 20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added 744 tests for stack and queue.

775 karl 1.13 throws CannotBind exception.
776 mike 1.33
777 karl 1.15 7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors. NOTE: At this point it may 778 not
779 karl 1.14 print out all of the message. At the least it prints out the error message 780 and components of the message causing the problem.

806 mike 1.26
807 karl 1.6 23 May 2001 Version 0.97.1 Tags as version_0_971
808 karl 1.5
809 karl 1.3 1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object 810 find functions. Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks). 811
812 karl 1.5 2. Port To HP UX. This required a number of changes particularly in the area 813 of dynamic lib loaading.
814 karl 1.1 815

818 mike 1.26
819 karl 1.3 21 May 2001 Version 0.97 - Tagged as version_0_97
820 karl 1.1 821 1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties, 822 qualifiers, methods. 823 2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier, 824 methods. 825 3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of 826 qualifiers and to 827 remove qualifiers. 828 4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX 829 compiler. It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
830 karl 1.2 the current compiler. This version of the port produces an excessively large 831 common module due to template bloat. That problem will be fixed in a future 832 change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate 833 by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems. The port has been tested 834 with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
