   1 karl  1.1 CHANGE LOG FOR PEGASUS
   2 karl  1.59 
   3 karl  1.95 Version 1.09 - Started 5 April 2002
   4            TAG: Version_1_09.
   5            
   6            1. 5 April 2002 (KS) Update version to 1.09. TAG, and took snapshot.
   7            
   8 kumpf 1.96 2. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Apr 2002 - Modified the CIMOperationResponseMessage
   9               class and its subclasses to contain a CIMException instead of a
  10               CIMStatusCode and String description.  This allows extra information in
  11               a CIMException, such as file name and line number, to be carried
  12               internally throughout the system.
  13            
  14               This change creates a single place where CIMExceptions are converted
  15               to an error code and description to be written out in XML.  This
  16               single place controls the ability to tune what gets included in the
  17               error description, as well as providing a convenient place to trace
  18               errors that get returned to clients.  In particular, client applications
  19               currently see messages that contain redundant error code information,
  20               such as:
  21            
  22                   CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One or more parameter values passed
  23                   to the method were invalid: "CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER: One
  24                   or more parameter values passed to the method were invalid:
  25                   "Unrecognized parameter "Bogus"""
  26            
  27               The CIMOperationResponseMessage change will allow the redundant
  28               information to be eliminated from the messages.
  29 karl  1.97    
  30            3. (KS) 7 April 2002- Minor really bad hack to systemwindows.cpp getcurrenttime
  31               after roger fixed timevalue.
  32 kumpf 1.96 
  33 kumpf 1.98 4. (DME) 7 April 2002 Added support for HPUX running on IA64 hardware. 
  34            
  35 kumpf 1.99 5. (DME) 7 April 2002 Update master result file for MOF Compiler CLI tests.
  36            
  37 karl  1.95 ========================================================================
  38            
  39 karl  1.93 Version 1.08 working towards 1.1 - Started 27 March 2002
  40 karl  1.94 TAG: Version_1_08. Note that the tagging was not all simultaneous because
  41            of problems with the CVS repository
  42 karl  1.93 
  43 karl  1.95 1. KS 27 March 2002 - Updaded pegasus version to 1.08. Took snapshot.
  44 karl  1.93    Tagged CVS 1_08.
  45               
  46 karl  1.94 2. KS 2 April 2002 -Add better qualifier testfunctions to cimclass, 
  47               qualifierlist, etc. and start to add specific qualifier tests on creates.
  48 karl  1.93 ========================================================================
  49 karl  1.59 
  50            Version 1.07 working towards 1.1 - Started 4 Feb 2002
  51            Started just before cutover to the new dispatcher, etc.
  52            TAG: VERSION_1_07
  53            
  54            1. KS - Updated pegsusversion to 1.07  and tagged file.
  55            
  56 sage  1.60 2. (Markus Mueller) 05 Feb 2002 - AIX support.
  57 karl  1.59 
  58 kumpf 1.67 3. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 13 Feb 2002 Implemented FileSystemPropertyOwner
  59                class to support PEGASUS_HOME dependent properties like Repository
  60                location, Provider location and Consumer location.
  61                The default location for these properties continue to be the same
  62                as before. Added support to the Config Manager to own the
  63                Pegasus Home variable and implemented method (getHomedPath) to
  64                return absolute paths based from Pegasus Home.
  65            
  66                For more information look in to the following files:
  67                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.h
  68                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/ConfigManager.cpp
  69                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.h
  70                pegasus/src/Pegasus/Config/FileSystemPropertyOwner.cpp
  71            
  72            4. KS -  18 Feb 02 Add changes to test for and set the NULL value for CIMValues.
  73 karl  1.62    This forces new CIMValues to have a NULL attributes that is only
  74               reset when a value is "set" or copied into them.  the XML and MOF
  75               also deliver a NULL value back when the state of the CIMValue is NULL.
  76               There is a remaining addition to put an exception on CIMValue gets when
  77               the NULL attribute is set that we will install later.
  78 karl  1.63    
  79 kumpf 1.67 5. KS - 19 Feb 2002 Extended testclient slightly and cleaned up numerous bugs.
  80 karl  1.62 
  81 kumpf 1.67 6. KS - 19 Feb 2002 - Add workpaper in doc/workpaper defining the Pegasus Qualifiers.
  82 karl  1.64    Note that this version of the paper still needs work.
  83            
  84 kumpf 1.67 7. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Feb 2002 - Modified HTTPAcceptor to optionally bind to 
  85 kumpf 1.65 loopback host. Modified CIMClient to connect to loopback host when connectLocal() 
  86            method is used. Added a new method lookupPort() in System.h to return the system 
  87            configured wbem port number. Modified cimuser, cimauth and cimconfig CLI's to use 
  88            modified CIMClient connectLocal() interface.
  89            
  90 kumpf 1.67 8. (KS- 21 Feb 2002) - Modified Makefile for repository load so located in
  91 karl  1.66 schema directory.  The one in src/pegasus/compiler/load is deprecated and
  92            will be deleted.
  93            
  94 kumpf 1.67 9. KS-21 Feb 2002 - Added new constructor to CIMValue and associated tests
  95            
  96            10. RK-20 Feb 2002 - Add Array reference to CIMValue and added tests
  97 karl  1.66 
  98 kumpf 1.67 11. (Sushma Fernandes - HP, Nag Boranna - HP) 22 Feb 2002 Implemented
  99                checks for privileged user when performing authorization.
 100                Added a configuration property enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess.
 101                This property needs to be set to true to enable privileged user access
 102                for remote clients.
 103 karl  1.66 
 104 kumpf 1.68 12. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Added type information to extrinsic
 105                method (InvokeMethod) operations.  This change involves the addition
 106                of PARAMTYPE attributes to PARAMVALUE and RETURNVALUE tags.  This tag
 107                allows the server to determine the type of a parameter value without
 108                having to look up the method definition in the schema.  It also allows
 109                the client API to do the same for output parameters as well as return
 110                values.
 111            
 112                PROVIDER IMPLICATIONS:
 113            
 114                Method providers ARE affected by this change.  Previously, all input
 115                parameters to invokeMethod were sent to the provider as String type
 116                regardless of what the client actually specified or how the method
 117                was defined.  With this change, providers will now receive input
 118                parameters of the type that was actually specified by the client
 119                application (regardless of how the method was defined in the schema).
 120            
 121                However, parameters coming from clients other than the Pegasus client
 122                API may omit the PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the operation
 123                processor (currently dispatcher) will find these "typeless" parameters
 124                and convert them to the correct type based on the method definition.
 125 kumpf 1.68     The result is that if the client specifies the parameter type in the
 126                XML encoding (as the Pegasus client API does), the method provider
 127                will receive the type specified by the client; if the client does not
 128                specify the parameter type, the method provider will see the type
 129                specified in the method definition.
 130            
 131                CLIENT IMPLICATIONS:
 132            
 133                Clients ARE affected by this change.  Any output parameters that are
 134                returned from Pegasus (or other CIM servers using the PARAMTYPE
 135                attribute) will now be received by Pegasus clients as the same type
 136                sent by the server.  Previously, they would have always been of
 137                String type.  In addition, the return value will be received as the
 138                correct type rather than as a String.
 139            
 140                Parameters coming from servers other than Pegasus may omit the
 141                PARAMTYPE attribute.  In this case, the client will see a
 142                CIMParamValue with type==CIMType::NONE, with a CIMValue of type
 143                String.  Similarly, return values coming from other servers that omit
 144                PARAMTYPE will be seen by the client as String type.  These return
 145                values will NOT have the CIMType::NONE hint that parameters get,
 146 kumpf 1.68     because they are CIMValues rather than CIMParamValues.
 147            
 148                This behavior will remain for the forseeable future (through
 149                Pegasus version 2), as it is not possible to require that other
 150                implementations use the PARAMTYPE attribute.
 151            
 152                SIDE EFFECTS:
 153            
 154                In the process of implementing this functionality, I discovered
 155                that there was no way to set a CIMValue to be an array of
 156                CIMReferences.  This appeared to be an oversight, since method
 157                parameters are permitted to be arrays of CIMReferences.  I've
 158                added the necessary functionality to the CIMValue class.
 159            
 160                I also found that the CIMParamValue class needed significant
 161                clean-up, which I completed.
 162            
 163                SETPROPERTY CHANGES:
 164            
 165                A similar problem in SetProperty operations was addressed by
 166                "typing" the specified property value in the operation processor
 167 kumpf 1.68     (currently dispatcher).  This is achieved by looking up the
 168                relevant schema to get the property definition, and then converting
 169                the specified value to that property's type.
 170            
 171                The SetProperty operation encoding has not changed to accomodate
 172                inclusion of type information that would obviate the need for this
 173                extra processing.  However, clients can avoid this overhead by using
 174                ModifyInstance operations (with a property list) instead of SetProperty.
 175            
 176                The GetProperty operation also has NOT been updated with type
 177                information.  Client applications using the Pegasus client API will
 178                always receive String or reference values when calling GetProperty
 179                against any server (Pegasus or not).  Clients that require properties
 180                to be returned as the correct type must use GetInstance (perhaps with
 181                a property list) rather than GetProperty.
 182            
 183 kumpf 1.69 13. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 22 Feb 2002 - Reworked the CIMParamValue class.
 184                Instead of being composed of a CIMParameter and a CIMValue, this
 185                class is now composed of a String (parameter name) and a CIMValue.
 186                This change removes the redundancy of having the type, isArray,
 187                and arraySize members in both the CIMParameter and the CIMValue.
 188                The new CIMParamValue definition is more consistent with the XML
 189                encoding of parameter values.
 190            
 191                An isTyped member was also added to CIMParamValue to support the
 192                behavior outlined in item 12 above.  Clients should use the isTyped()
 193                method to determine whether the output parameters returned from
 194                InvokeMethod operations are of the correct type, or whether they
 195                have defaulted to String type.
 196 karl  1.70     
 197            14. (KS) 4 March 2002 - Corrections for NULL value and the XML code.
 198                Corrections to compiler for Null values input (parser and valuectory)
 199 karl  1.72   
 200 kumpf 1.71 15. (Nag Boranna - HP) 04 March 2002 - Modified CIMClient API to accept 
 201                username and password as parameters to connect() method, added a new 
 202                method diconnect() that closes the open connection with the server 
 203                and added code to handle HTTP Basic authentication challenges from 
 204                the server.
 205 karl  1.72     
 206            16  (KS) 4 March 2002 - Correct problem with array constants not picking up
 207                all of the entires in the array. Bugzilla bug # 6.
 208               
 209 kumpf 1.73 17. (Yi Zhou - HP) 4 March 2002 - Implemented provider registration manager 
 210                to perform efficient lookup of instance provider, method provider, and 
 211                indication provider. Also, implemented provider registration instances
 212                operations.
 213            
 214                Modified registration provider to use latest provider registration schema.
 215 karl  1.74     
 216            18  (KS) 6 March 2002 - Implemented changes to compiler and flavors to correct the
 217                definition of CIMFlavors.
 218 karl  1.76     
 219 kumpf 1.68 
 220 kumpf 1.75 19. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 1 Mar 2002 - Reworked the XmlWriter class to
 221                eliminate many of the redundant memory copies that resulted from the
 222                nested method call structure.  Now, instead of having a method at
 223                each level that adds a begin tag, contents, and an end tag, there
 224                are separate methods to add the begin and end tags.  At the top
 225                level, each of the begin tag methods are called, then the message
 226                "body" is added, followed by calls to the end tag methods.
 227            
 228                The message body is currently still copied twice, once into the XML
 229                payload and then again when the HTTP header is added.  (Since the
 230                HTTP header contains a content length field, the header cannot be
 231                constructed until the payload is complete.)  It is possible to
 232                remove these extra copies as well, but that would require additional
 233                changes elsewhere in the code.  For example, the HTTPMessage class
 234                would need to hold the headers and payload separately rather than in
 235                a single buffer.
 236            
 237                Along with these changes, I did a lot of cleanup.  Much of the XML
 238                formatting code has been moved from CIMReference to XmlWriter.  Also,
 239                error message formatting has been consolidated in XmlWriter from the
 240                various encoders and decoders, etc.
 241 kumpf 1.75 
 242            20. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 5 Mar 2002 - Added checks in the
 243                CIMOperationRequestDecoder and CIMExportRequestDecoder to validate
 244                that the information in the HTTP headers of a request is consistent
 245                with what is encoded in the XML request itself.
 246            
 247                Specifically, the CIMOperation, CIMProtocolVersion, CIMMethod,
 248                CIMObject, CIMBatch, CIMExport, and CIMExportBatch headers are
 249                validated.
 250 karl  1.76 
 251            21. (KS) 7 March 2002 - Correct error in qualifier propagation processing in
 252                qualifierlist.resolve. Temporarily remove the DEFAULT setup on the
 253                Compiler qualifier generation. Add tests for resolve processing.
 254 karl  1.78     
 255 kumpf 1.77 22. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 8 Mar 2002 - Simplified CIMClient API construction.
 256                Previously, the client application constructed a client API using:
 257            
 258                    Monitor* monitor = new Monitor;
 259                    HTTPConnector* connector;
 260                    connector = new HTTPConnector(monitor);
 261                    Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 262            
 263                    CIMClient client(monitor, connector, timeoutMillis);
 264            
 265                With this change, the client application now looks like:
 266            
 267                    Uint32 timeoutMillis = 60 * 1000;    // optional
 268            
 269                    CIMClient client(timeoutMillis);
 270            
 271                The old style allowed an SSL context to be specified in the HTTPConnector
 272                constructor.  It seems that the SSL context is really a property of a
 273                connection rather than of the client API.  So instead of adding an SSL
 274                context parameter to the CIMClient constructor, I added it to the CIMClient
 275                connect() method.  There are now forms of the connect() method with and
 276 kumpf 1.77     without an SSL context.  Similar changes were made in the HTTPConnector
 277                class to allow specification of an SSL context in the connect() method
 278                rather than in the constructor.
 279            
 280                NOTE:  Client applications are affected and must be updated with this
 281                change.  I've already updated all the clients that are checked in and
 282                included in the Pegasus build.

 284 karl  1.78 23. (KS) 8 March 2002 - Correct error in compiler that caused length field
 285                of fixed length arrays to be lost.
 286 kumpf 1.75 
 287 kumpf 1.79 24. (Jenny Yu - HP) 8 March 2002 - Modified the CIMException class to NOT
 288                include the source filename and line number in the exception message.
 289                However, for anyone who wishes to include such information in the 
 290                CIM Exception message, a compile option DEBUG_CIMEXCEPTION can be used
 291                for that purpose.   
 292            
 293                A couple of changes have been made to the Tracer class:
 294            
 295                - CIMException messages can now be put in a trace file using the Tracer.
 296                  A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a CIMException
 297                  as input and writes the exception message in the CIMException to the
 298                  trace file.  This message will include the source filename and the
 299                  line number of the CIMException originator.
 300            
 301                  Tracer::traceCIMException(traceComponent, traceLevel, cimException);
 302            
 303                - Strings can now be traced using the Tracer class:
 304                  A new interface has been added to the Tracer to accept a String as
 305                  input and writes the String to the trace file.
 306            
 307                  (ex.)
 308 kumpf 1.79       You can issue the following method call:
 309                     Tracer::trace(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 310            
 311                  or use the following new macro:
 312                     PEG_TRACE_STRING(TRC_CONFIG, Tracer::LEVEL2, "Operation Failed.");
 313                
 314 ramnath 1.81 25.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 11 March 2002 - added IPCTru64.h and modified
 315 ramnath 1.80 	several files so that Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix.  Added
 316              	one macro in ConfigUnix and ConfigWindows (PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY) in 
 317              	the case where std::ios::binary is present with a bitwise OR operator.
 318              	This macro only works when the std::ios::binary is NOT the first 
 319              	operator to be "OR"ed.
 320 ramnath 1.81 
 321              26.  (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 12 March 2002 - modified more files so that 
 322              	Pegasus could build and run on Tru64 unix. Finished replacing instances
 323              	of ios::binary with the macros PEGASUS_IOS_BINARY and 
 324              	PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY. Also modified some code that dealt with file 
 325              	streams.  Tru64 does not support the use of the " != " operator on a
 326              	fstream object.  Instances of such were either modified or an ifdef 
 327              	block detecting a build on Tru64 was used.  Added cstdarg and ctime in
 328              	pegasus/src/stdcxx/cwrappers/ directory.
 329 ramnath 1.80 
 330 mary    1.82 27.  (Mary Hinton) 16 March 2002 - fixed the CIMServer so that it could once
 331              	again be installed as a Windows service. The repositoryRootPath could 
 332              	not be found, because the pegasusHome variable was not being set properly 
 333              	in the Windows service work thread.
 334              
 335 karl    1.83 28.  (Bob Blair by KS) 17 March 2002 - Modified repository so there is both a
 336                      local repository (cimmofl) and a client interface repository (cimmof) 
 337              	executable
 338                     
 339              29.  (KS ) 18 March 2002 - Modified schema makefiles to use the cimomfl respository
 340                      executable. 
 341 kumpf   1.84 
 342              30. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Mar 2002 - Added range checking for Uint* and
 343                  Sint* values in XmlReader.cpp.  Previously, values that were out of
 344                  range were simply truncated to fit the given integer size.  An
 345                  exception is now thrown when the given string can not be parsed into
 346                  an integer of the specified size.
 347              
 348 kumpf   1.85 31. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Mar 2002 - Added support for hexadecimal integers
 349                  in XmlReader.cpp.
 350              
 351 kumpf   1.86 32. (Nag Boranna - HP) 21 March 2002 - Implemented server side Basic 
 352                  Authentication handling code and cleaned up ATTN's in the authentication 
 353                  releated files. Implemented a new AuthenticationInfoRep class and modified 
 354                  the related files. Added more test cases to test the authentication classes.
 355              
 356 karl    1.88 33. (Ramnath Ravindran - Compaq) 21 March 2002 - replaced instances of "| ios::binary"
 357                  with PEGASUS_OR_IOS_BINARY in 3 files: System.cpp, InstanceIndexFile.cpp, and
 358 ramnath 1.87 	InstanceDataFile.cpp
 359 karl    1.88 	
 360              34. (KS) 25 March 2002 - Extended qualifier resolution to correctly handle Flavors nad
 361                  enabled the scope and flavors testing.  Had been pretty much blocked before.
 362                  
 363 kumpf   1.89 35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Mar 2002 - Created a class to map CIM operation
 364                  request messages to provider API calls.  Cleaned up the dispatcher and
 365                  added the ability to pass requests to control providers through the
 366                  ModuleController.  Integrated the ConfigSettingProvider with the
 367                  ModuleController and set up the structure for getting the control
 368                  providers working.  Moved the ConfigSettingProvider from the
 369                  Providers tree to the Pegasus tree, since it really is statically
 370                  linked into the server.
 371 karl    1.88 
 372 kumpf   1.90 36. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the UserAuthProvider with
 373                  the ModuleController as a control provider.  Moved the UserAuthProvider
 374                  from the Providers tree to the Pegasus tree.
 375              
 376 kumpf   1.91 37. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 27 Mar 2002 - Integrated the
 377                  ProviderRegistrationProvider with the ModuleController as a control
 378                  provider.  Moved the ProviderRegistrationProvider to the Pegasus
 379                  ControlProviders directory.  Obsoleted and removed the
 380                  Server/ConfigurationManager class and files.
 381 karl    1.92     
 382              38. (KS) 27 march 2002 - Modifications to common functions and the compiler to
 383                  extend the processing of class creation and correct the flavors and their
 384                  use.  This allows flavors to be inherited with rules for override, etc.
 385                  
 386 kumpf   1.91 
 387 karl    1.59 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 388 karl    1.52 Version 1.06 working towards 1.1 Started 13 December 2001
 389              
 390              1. Merged back to Main branch.  All general development will be in main branch 
 391                     in the future with releases in side branches. Special side developments
 392                     may temporarily be in side branches.
 393                     Changed cimversion to 1.06.  We will do 1.1 based on functionality.
 394 karl    1.53        
 395              2. (Karl) 18 December 2001 - Added new directory repositories where repository 
 396              	implementations will be kept to separate them from the 
 397              	repository interface defintion. Initial implementation is genericfile
 398              	which is the current file based repository.
 399              	
 400              	Added new build variable RMREPOSITORY which is a generic MAKE command
 401              	to remove an existing repository.  It simply substitutes for the RMDIRHIER
 402              	command at this point but we will make this a generic part of system
 403              	in the future.
 404 karl    1.52 
 405 kumpf   1.54 3. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 18 Dec 2001 - Updated the CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 406                 to check that all required parameters for intrinsic methods are
 407                 present.  If a required parameter is missing, a CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
 408                 exception is thrown.  Also added checks for duplicate parameters in the
 409                 intrinsic methods.  If a parameter is specified more than once, a
 410                 CIM_ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER exception is thrown.
 411              
 412 kumpf   1.57 4. (Nag Boranna - HP) 14 Jan 2002 - Created CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue
 413 kumpf   1.55    and moved Authorization verification code from CIMOperationRequestDecoder
 414                 queue to this new queue. Modified CIMServer.cpp to create
 415                 CIMOperationRequestAuthorizer queue only when authorization is enabled.
 416                 Also modified CIMRequestMessagesin CIMMessage.h to include userName to make
 417                 it available to the CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.
 418              
 419 kumpf   1.57 5. (Mary Hinton - Jan 17, 2002) Fixed the problem with the CIMserver when it 
 420 mary    1.56    runs as a Windows service. The work thread was exiting instead of running 
 421                 forever. The problem was noticed when the TestClient program and CIMserver 
 422                 service were both running. The service wasn't accessible to the TestClient 
 423                 program.
 424              
 425 kumpf   1.58 6. (Nitin Upasani - Jan 25, 2002) Operations on CIM_IndicationSubscription, 
 426                  CIM_IndicationHandlerCIMXML and CIM_IndicationFilter classes will be now processed
 427                  in new queue, IndicationService which will get invoked from dispatcher.
 428                  CIM_CREATE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 429                  CIM_MODIFY_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 430                  CIM_DELETE_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 431                  CIM_GET_INSTANCE_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 432                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 433                  CIM_ENUMERATE_INSTANCE_NAMES_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 434              
 435                  This new service will also take care of processing the indications on receiving
 436                  CIM_PROCESS_INDICATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE. This message should come from 
 437                  IndicationProvider or some other mechanism which is not yet clear. 
 438              
 439                  IndicationService will also receive following messages from PG_ProviderRegistration
 440                  when a new IndicationProvider will get registered.
 441                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 442                  CIM_NOTIFY_PROVIDER_TERMINATION_REQUEST_MESSAGE
 443              
 444                  I had also defined new Indication Provider APIs, enableIndication, disableIndication
 445                  and modifyIndication with more parameters passed and eventually planning to terminate
 446 kumpf   1.58     old APIs (provideIndication, cancelIndication and updateIndication). Also there is a 
 447                  plan to implement one more call as startIndication and will be done soon.
 448              
 449                  There are three new test programs in IndicationService directory, which will create 
 450                  Filter, Indication and Subscription instances using IndicationService.
 451              
 452                  Also modified sample IndicationProvider code with the new APIs introduced.

 458 mike    1.36 
 459 karl    1.49 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 460              Version 1.1 - July 2001 Development branch (Work in PRogress)
 461              
 462 mike    1.50 1. (Mike Brasher) Fixed bug with XML generation (was not generating
 463                 PARAMETER.REFERENCE constructs for references).
 464              
 465              2. (Mike Brasher) Reworked server communication into new module scheme.
 466 mike    1.51 =======
 467              1. (Karl) 6 Aug - extend ToMof functions. The MOF for a class can now be
 468              	seen as part of CGIclient class displays.
 469              	
 470              2. (Karl) 7 Aug - Update CIM25 Schema from the "preliminary" version
 471              	to the final version in Schemas\CIM25.  This included minor
 472              	corrections, etc and a couple of file changes. This is the
 473              	official final CIM 25 schema relesed by the DMTF.  This change
 474              	should not affect any current work.
 475              3. (Karl) 7 Aug 2001 - Added CIM Schema 2.6 (preliminary) to the Schemas
 476              	directorys.  Note however that today the make repository still
 477              	loads the 2.5 schema.
 478              	
 479              4. (Karl) 8 Aug 2001 - Change cimmofparser.cpp to put header and trailers
 480                      on XML output.
 481                      
 482              5. (Denise Eckstein - HP) 13 Aug 2001 - Fixed an HP-UX compile problem
 483              in various src/utils/mu commands (MoveCmd.cpp, PrependCmd.cpp, RmCmd.cpp,
 484              RmDirHierCmd.cpp, StripCmd.cpp, TouchCmd.cpp).  aCC scopes variable
 485              declarations in for loop initializers outside the loop, so multiple
 486              "for (int i=0; i<10; i++);" statements cause a compile error.
 487 mike    1.51 
 488              6. (Nag Boranna - HP) 15 Aug 2001 - Modified Config framework to remove 
 489              dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the 
 490              cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files 
 491              and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that 
 492              were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config 
 493              provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified 
 494              provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI 
 495              to show user friendly error/status messages.
 496                      
 497              7. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 16 Aug 2001 - Fixed a bug in wbemexec CLI 
 498              (reported incorrect line number on error in XML request if input redirected).  
 499              Enhanced the -d debug command line option to allow more flexibility in 
 500              generating debug output.
 501              
 502              8. Karl 17 Aug 2001) - Extended CIMMOF compiler to put pegasus comment line in
 503              xml when it generates xml output.
 504              
 505              9. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Aug 2001 - Combine instances of each class into
 506              a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default
 507              repository implementation.
 508 mike    1.51 
 509              10. (Mike Brasher) - Fixed minor bug in repository implementation.
 510              
 511              11. (Mike Brasher) - Committed fix to missing PARAMETER.REFERENCE XML element.
 512              
 513              12. (Mike Brasher) - Committed rework of server into queue approach.
 514              
 515              13. (Mike Brasher) - New webserver and webclient examples.
 516              
 517              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.
 518              
 519              15. (Mike Brasher) - Initial work on refactorying client into modules.
 520                  CIMOperationRequestEncoder and partial CIMOperationResponseDecoder.
 521              
 522              16. (Mike Brasher) - queue-based clients now complete.
 523              
 524              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.
 525              
 526              18. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 13 Sep 2001 - Initial support for z/OS on z/Series, the successor of OS/390 and MVS.
 527              
 528              19. (Warren Otsuka - HP) 14 Sep 2001 - Implementation of servlet web server
 529 mike    1.51     interface to CIMServer.This is for the PEGASUS CIM Server to coexist with
 530                  a web server. See doc/Servlet for more information.
 531              
 532              20. (Yi Zhou - HP) 20 Sep 2001 - Added tracing in files
 533                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML 
 534                  input and output can be written in a trace file.
 535              
 536              21. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 25 Sep 2001 - Initial Signal Handler support
 537                  Created new class SignalHandler that allow registration, activation and
 538                  deactivation of signal handler functions (Linux only !).
 539              
 540              22. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Modification of ExportServer and
 541                  ExportClient to support ExportIndication. DisplayConsumer, a sample
 542                  consumer is added which will consume (by displaying on screen) the
 543                  indication exported by CIMExportRequestDispatcher. This complete
 544                  implementation is based on CIM_EXPORT_INDICATION_REQUEST and
 545                  RESPONSE messages. CIMMessage.h, Message.cpp and Message.h files
 546                  are modified to implement above messages. 
 547              
 548                  XmlIndicationDispatcher test program is modified to test complete
 549                  operation. It now creates a consumer, handler and indication
 550 mike    1.51     instance and then calls CIMExportRequestDispatcher to export the
 551                  indication to consumer. This program needs
 552                  src/Pegasus/Server/tests/XmlIndicationDispatcher/TestSoftwarePkg.mof 
 553                  and Schemas/Pegasus/PG_ConsumerRegistration.mof files to be loaded
 554                  in the repository to complete the test successfully. This test
 555                  program also needs Handler qualifier defined in repository and
 556                  modify CIM_Event25.mof for CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP class as
 557                  below:
 558              
 559                  //====================================================================
 560                  //  CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP
 561                  //====================================================================
 562                  [Description (
 563                    "CIM_IndicationHandlerXMLHTTP describes the destination for "
 564                    "Indications to be delivered via HTTP, using a cimXML "
 565                    "representation."), Handler ("CIMxmlIndicationHandler") ]
 566              
 567              23. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 27 Sep 2001 - Added tracing code in
 568                  ProviderTable.cpp and SystemUnix.cpp to indicate progress of loading
 569                  a provider library.
 570              
 571 mike    1.51 24. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - implementation of InvokeMethod
 572                  interface for the provider. InvokeMethod currently uses CIMValue as
 573                  type for inParameters and outParameters, which are unable to give
 574                  information about param name, type and value. This should be changed
 575                  to CIMParamValue which will help providers to know details of the
 576                  parameter name and type along with value passed through InvoleMethod
 577                  call. Current implementation uses CIMParamValue as parameters while
 578                  travelling through message queues and converts it back to array of
 579                  CIMValue before calling Provider API (which needs to be changed
 580                  later). 
 581              
 582                  Also added are two test programs: 
 583              	
 584                  src/Pegasus/Common/tests/ParamValue - which demonstrate use of
 585                      CIMParamValue class.
 586              	
 587                  src/Pegasus/Client/tests/InvokeMethod - which makes call to
 588                      InvokeMethod and displays the return value. Current
 589                      implementation assumes that provider had returned true value
 590                      and outParameters (which are now hard coded in
 591                      CIMOperationRequestDispatcher to implement functionality)
 592 mike    1.51         which are passed as response of InvokeMethod to client.
 593              
 594              25. (Nag Boranna - HP) 05 Oct 2001 - Added first level implementation of
 595                  authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager
 596                  and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication
 597                  module has been modified to implement the local authenticator
 598                  interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests
 599                  and to verify the authentication.
 600              
 601                  A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator.
 602                  This code is in the Security/Authentication directory which is not
 603                  yet linked into the build.
 604              
 605              26. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 08 Oct 2001 - Changes to Operation and Export
 606                  Decoders. Earlier decoders were sending requests and responses
 607                  before finishing complete Xml parse. This was prone to send
 608                  request/response even the Xml is wrong after the MethodCall.
 609                  New changes collects the Message* as return value from the
 610                  appropriate functions while parsing the Xml and sends on
 611                  _outputQueue only when Xml is parsed successfully.
 612              
 613 mike    1.51 27. (Nag Boranna - HP) 11 Oct 2001 - Modified ProviderModule.cpp to
 614                  fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the
 615                  providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name
 616                  construction (appending .sl or .so) from
 617                  CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to
 618                  ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns
 619                  provider file path name.
 620              
 621              28. (Nitin Upasani - HP) 12 Oct 2001 - Implementation of SNMP Indication
 622                  Handler. This handler extracts MappingStrings qualifier from class
 623                  definition and converts it into SNMP specific trap data. The trap
 624                  structure is defined in a abstract class in snmpDeliverTrap.h file.
 625                  Every one has his or her own SNMP agent, which will talk with master
 626                  agent to deliver the trap or may have some other mechanism.
 627                  Extending snmpDeliverTrap class and deliverTrap method will help to
 628                  implement specific trap delivery mechanism. 
 629              
 630              29. (Yi Zhou - HP) 09 Oct 2001 - Changed cimconfig to allow setting property to
 631                  be NULL. Also, if -u -p specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating
 632                  property value to be default in the plan file, remove the property from the
 633                  plan file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library.
 634 mike    1.51 
 635              30. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 24 Oct 2001 - Added an interface to the tracer 
 636                  to allow tracing of a specific number of bytes in a given
 637                  string. Also modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. 
 638                  Changed the config file defaults for tracing.
 639              
 640              31. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 28 Oct 2001 - Added "make" support for Compaq
 641                  NonStop platform (NSK) in directory pegasus/mak. The following files
 642                  were added:  platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak, objects-nsk.mak,
 643                  library-nsk.mak, config-nsk.mak, program-nsk.mak, program-windows.mak, 
 644                  program-unix.mak. The original program.mak which previously covered
 645                  all platforms was split into platform-specific make files, and now
 646                  only contains conditionals. Files config.mak, objects.mak, and
 647                  library.mak were changed to include the NSK files. 
 648                  File platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.mak includes config-nsk.mak.
 649              
 650              32. (Jenny Yu - HP) 29 Oct 2001 - Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow
 651                  commas (,) in the string values of key properties.
 652                  
 653              33. (Karl Schopmeyer) 30 October 2001- Move the repository load to CIM schema 2.6
 654              
 655 mike    1.51 34. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 30 Oct 2001 - Fixed a problem in
 656                  pegasus/mak/program-windows.mak that prevented program builds for
 657                  the windows platform (related to change from 28 Oct). Replaced
 658                  leading whitespace in front of commands with tabs as required
 659                  in make files.
 660                 
 661              35. (K Schopmeyer) 2 Nov 2001 - Temporarily moved repository back to CIM25 
 662                  because getting an error in 26
 663              
 664              35. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 30 Oct 2001 - Association classes have keys
 665                  whose types are references.  These reference values must be
 666                  treated specially in the XML encoding, using the VALUE.REFERENCE
 667                  tag structure.
 668              
 669                  Pegasus had been passing reference values simply as String values.
 670                  For example, EnumerateInstanceNames returned KEYVALUEs of string
 671                  type rather than VALUE.REFERENCEs.
 672              
 673                  I've modified the XmlReader::getKeyBindingElement() and
 674                  CIMReference::instanceNameToXml() methods to read and write the
 675                  XML in the proper format.  However, making that change required
 676 mike    1.51     that a CIMReference object be able to distinguish between a key
 677                  of String type and a key of reference type.
 678              
 679                  I've modified the String format of CIMReferences slightly to
 680                  allow efficient processing of references whose keys are also of
 681                  reference type.  The "official" form uses the same encoding for
 682                  key values of String type and of reference type, and so it
 683                  would be necessary to retrieve the class definition and look up
 684                  the types of the key properties to determine how to treat the
 685                  key values.  This is clearly too inefficient for internal
 686                  transformations between CIMReferences and String values.
 687              
 688                  The workaround is to encode a 'R' at the beginning of the value
 689                  for a key of reference type (before the opening '"').  This allows
 690                  the parser to know a priori whether the key is of String or
 691                  reference type.
 692              
 693                  In this example:
 694              
 695                      MyClass.Key1="StringValue",Key2=R"RefClass.KeyA="StringA",KeyB=10"
 696              
 697 mike    1.51     Property Key1 of class MyClass is of String type, and so it gets
 698                  the usual encoding.  Key2 is a reference property, so the extra 'R'
 699                  is inserted before its encoded value.  Note that this algorithm is
 700                  recursive, such that RefClass could include KeyC of reference type,
 701                  which would also get encoded with the 'R' notation.
 702              
 703                  The toString() method inserts the 'R' to provide symmetry.  A new
 704                  KeyBinding type (REFERENCE) has been defined to denote keys in a
 705                  CIMReference that are of reference type.  This KeyBinding type must
 706                  be used appropriately for CIMReference::ttoString() to behave
 707                  correctly.
 708              
 709                  The files that have been modified to make this change are
 710                  CIMReference.h, CIMReference.cpp, and CIMInstanceRep.cpp.
 711              
 712                  A result of this change is that instances names in the instance
 713                  repository will include this extra 'R' character.  Thus, you will
 714                  need to repopulate your repository when you download the latest
 715                  CIMOM version.
 716              
 717                  Note that for user-facing uses of the String encoding of instance
 718 mike    1.51     names (such as might appear in MOF for static association
 719                  instances or in the CGI client), this solution is non-standard and
 720                  therefore unacceptable.  It is likely that these points will need
 721                  to process the more expensive operation of retrieving the class
 722                  definition to determine the key property types.
 723              
 724              36. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) Modified tracer to return invalid components 
 725                  in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner
 726                  init and update methods. Submitted the pegasus/mak/Buildmakefile with 
 727                  cleanbuild, rebuild and trace configuration options.
 728              
 729              37. (Yi Zhou - HP) 05 Nov 2001 - Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference 
 730                  (instanceName).
 731              
 732              38. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 08 Nov 2001 - Implemented encoding/decoding of
 733                  GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.
 734                  Added encoding and decoding of PropertyList parameters on all
 735                  relevant intrinsic methods.
 736              
 737              39. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 09 Nov 2001 - Added Associator calls to CIMBase
 738                  ProviderFacade.cpp; fixed Provider unloading in CIMProviderManager.cpp
 739 mike    1.51 
 740              40. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 12 Nov 2001 - Common module: added the following
 741                  files for nsk platform support: TraceFileHandlerNsk.cpp, ThreadNsk.cpp,
 742                  TCPChannelNsk.cpp, SystemNsk.cpp, ServiceNsk.cpp, SelectorNsk.cpp,
 743                  IPCNsk.cpp, DirNsk.cpp. Most of these files (with the exception of
 744                  SystemNsk.cpp) contain stubs. The associated control files
 745                  (TraceFileHandler.cpp, Thread.cpp, etc) have been updated to include
 746                  nsk platform links. 
 747              
 748              41. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 14 Nov 2001 - Changed the behavior of the CIMValue
 749                  toString() method for CIMValues of String type.  The old behavior
 750                  returned an XML encoding of the String with special characters
 751                  replaced by their UTF-8 equivalents.  For example, a CIMValue of a"b
 752                  would be returned as a&quot;b.  The new behavior just returns the
 753                  String value directly with no translation.  (Note that
 754                  CIMValue.toXml() may still be used to get the XML-encoded value.)
 755              
 756                  This change was necessary in part to correct the behavior of the
 757                  repository.  CreateInstance stores the instance name returned by
 758                  CIMInstance.getInstanceName(), which is built using calls to
 759                  CIMValue.toString().  GetInstance searches for the instance name
 760 mike    1.51     without UTF-8 encoding of special characters.  For GetInstance to
 761                  be successful, CreateInstance must have stored the instance name
 762                  in that same form, without special character encoding.
 763              
 764              42. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 15 Nov 2001 - Added a toXml(void) method to
 765                  the CIMValue class.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(),
 766                  often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().
 767                  Also added some error handling in the indication handlers.
 768              
 769              43. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 16 Nov 2001 - Added a function 
 770                  localObjectPathtoXml(Array<Sint8>& out) to the CIMReference class 
 771                  to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the 
 772                  CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. 
 773                  Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.
 774              
 775              44. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added a CIMNamedInstance class
 776                  to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values
 777                  from EnumerateInstances.  The client and provider APIs need to
 778                  be updated to use this class.
 779              
 780              45. (Sushma Fernandes - HP) 19 Nov 2001 - Added the cimuser command line 
 781 mike    1.51     source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing 
 782                  of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider 
 783                  functionality is yet to be implemented. Added the function 
 784                  String getPassword(char* prompt) to the System.h and cpp files.
 785              
 786              46. (Nag Boranna - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Implemented Authentication code on
 787                  the server to challenge the unauthorized requests, authenticate
 788                  the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests.
 789                  Implemented authentication mechanism on the Client api to send
 790                  responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation
 791                  supports only 'local' authentication mechanism.
 792              
 793              47. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 20 Nov 2001 - Commited the following set of changes:
 794              
 795                    - Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance>
 796                        to Array<CIMNamedInstance>
 797                    - Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to
 798                        CIMNamedInstance
 799                    - Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance
 800                    - Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the
 801                        CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>
 802 mike    1.51 
 803                  Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.
 804              
 805                  These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider
 806                  API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the
 807                  differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.
 808                  However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added
 809                  functionality.
 810              
 811                  When the provider API is updated, the following changes will be visible:
 812              
 813                    - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 814                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 815                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 816                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 817                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 818                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 819                        the entire instance.
 820              
 821                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 822                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 823 mike    1.51           these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 824              
 825                    - Providers will receive a CIMPropertyList argument containing the
 826                        PropertyList instead of an Array<String>.  This change allows
 827                        providers to distinguish between an empty list and a null list.
 828              
 829                  Note that the repository also does not yet handle the PropertyList in
 830                  ModifyInstance correctly.
 831              
 832              48. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 21 Nov 2001 - I have updated the Provider2 instance
 833                  provider API to match the changes made to the EnumerateInstances and
 834                  ModifyInstance operations.  These changes were made to comply with
 835                  the DMTF specification.
 836              
 837                  The original Provider API has not been updated, and I have no
 838                  plans to do so.  Providers written to the original API will
 839                  continue to function, but they will not have the opportunity
 840                  to take advantage of the features that have been added.
 841              
 842                  The significant changes to the Provider2 API are:
 843              
 844 mike    1.51       - Providers will get a PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance which
 845                        they are required to respect.  Providers that can not process the
 846                        PropertyList must throw a NOT_SUPPORTED exception whenever the
 847                        list is not null.  Clients can take advantage of this change by
 848                        issuing a ModifyInstance request against a selected set of
 849                        properties in an instance, rather than being required to replace
 850                        the entire instance.
 851              
 852                    - Providers will get an IncludeQualifiers parameter to ModifyInstance
 853                        which they are required to respect.  If IncludeQualifiers is
 854                        false, the qualifiers on the modified instance provided must not
 855                        be used to update the instance.
 856              
 857                    - Providers will be required to return instance names along with
 858                        instances in the EnumerateInstances method.  Clients will receive
 859                        these instance names, as the standard dictates.
 860              
 861                  The providers that are in the Pegasus build have all been updated.
 862                  However, whenever the PropertyList is not null, the providers throw
 863                  a NOT_SUPPORTED exception.
 864              
 865 mike    1.51 49. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 25 NOV 2001 - To support the NSK platform,
 866                  files Platform_NSK_NONSTOP_NMCPLUS.h and ConfigNsk.h were added to
 867                  the Common module. File Config.h was modified to include the NSK
 868                  platform and a new option PEGASUS_HAVE_NO_STD that allows compilation
 869                  without the standard (std) namespace.
 870              
 871              50. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added two new configuration
 872                  properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository:
 873                  repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.
 874              
 875                  Using the first one, the repository can be enabled/disabled as the
 876                  default provider for instance (and association) operations.  The default
 877                  setting is "true", so the default behavior has not been changed.  To
 878                  disable the repository as the default instance provider, issue the
 879                  following command before starting cimserver:
 880              
 881                      cimconfig -s repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false -p
 882              
 883                  The repositoryProviderName configuration property specifies what
 884                  provider name is used to explicitly register the repository as a
 885                  provider.  This is necessary when the repository needs to serve
 886 mike    1.51     instances of a class and repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider is set
 887                  to "false".  The default value is "repository".  To register the
 888                  repository as an instance provider for a class, add a
 889                  'Provider("repository")' qualifier to the class definition.
 890              
 891              51. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 26 Nov 2001 - Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to
 892                  pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides
 893                  service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.
 894              
 895              52. (Roger Kumpf - HP) 28 Nov 2001 - Implemented ModifyInstance in
 896                  the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and
 897                  PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository
 898                  so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now
 899                  supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.
 900              
 901                  Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and
 902                  Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and
 903                  ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers
 904                  written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new
 905                  ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty
 906                  operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only
 907 mike    1.51     work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.
 908              
 909              53. (Nag Boranna - HP, Sushma Fernandes - HP) 30 Nov 2001 - Implemented the
 910                  Security components for authentication and authorization. 
 911              
 912                  Authentication and User Management:
 913                  cimuser CLI : This CLI is used for addition, modification, removal
 914                  and listing of CIM Users. The CIM user password is encrypted and stored
 915                  in a file. The password file format is compatible with Apache's htpasswd 
 916                  generated password file. 
 917              
 918                  cimauth CLI implement the authorization managment functionality by letting
 919                  to add/remove/list user authorizations.
 920                  
 921                  User Manager and  User Manager Provider  components implement the user 
 922                  management and authorization functionality.   
 923              
 924              54. (Mike Brasher - BMC) 3 Dec 2001 - Added support for WQL-1. New directory
 925                  under src/Pegasus/WQL which contains library and BNF.
 926              
 927              55. (Yi Zhou - HP) 03 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus registration provider
 928 mike    1.51     which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider.
 929                  It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes.
 930              
 931              56. (Rudy Schuet - Compaq) 04 Dec 2001 - Replaced _min macro in String.h
 932                  and String.cpp with PEG_min. The _min macro caused problems on the
 933                  NSK platform because of a duplicate definition in a standard file.
 934                
 935              57. (Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP) 04 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus indication
 936                  subscription service provider that serves as the instance provider for the 
 937                  CIM_IndicationSubscription, CIM_IndicationFilter and CIM_IndicationHandler 
 938                  classes (from CIM_Events27.mof).  The service also takes appropriate action
 939                  in response to startup, shutdown of the cimom, termination of a provider, 
 940                  or change in provider registration.  
 941              
 942              58. (Jenny Yu - HP) 05 Dec 2001 - Implemented Pegasus Shutdown Service
 943                  and the command line interface for shutting down cimom gracefully.
 944                  For more information, refer to the CIMOM Shutdown working paper 
 945                  in pegasus/doc/WorkPapers/CIMOMShutdown.pdf.
 946              
 947              59. (Markus Mueller - IBM) 06 Dec 2001 - Implemented SSL support (Linux only).
 948                  It consists the new classes SSL_Context, SSLSocket and MP_Socket defined
 949 mike    1.51     in TLS.h. HTTPAcceptor and HTTPConnector are extended with an additional
 950                  constructor to set a pointer to the server-, resp. client wide SSL_Context
 951                  structure. The Socket field in HTTPConnection is substituted with an
 952                  MP_Socket pointer, a class that is designed to hide the differences
 953                  between Socket and SSLSocket. The MP_Socket (multipurpose socket) class
 954                  is defined even in a non-ssl environment.
 955                  How to use it in a Server or Client:
 956                  1. Just create an SSL_Context once per Server/Client address space
 957                  2. Construct every HTTPConnector/Acceptor with a pointer to this
 958                     SSL_Context if you want to enable SSL; construct Connectors/Acceptors
 959                     without SSL_Context for conventional connections.
 960 mike    1.50 
 961 mike    1.51     The Configuration data was extended with the boolean SSL property, and
 962                  cimserver and TestClient now understand the -SSL, resp. -ssl flag.
 963              
 964              60. (Bapu Patil - HP) Updated makefiles to support HP-UX IA64 bits O.S.

1013                 Authentication provides security mechanism to authenticates CIM clients
1014                 that
1015                 connect to CIM Server on the same system without having to specify a
1016                 password.
1017                 Please refer to "doc/LocalCIMSecurity.pdf" for more information on design.
1018                 This component only works on unix and it's not linked in with the main
1019                 build.
1020                 When authentication framework is defined this component may need to be
1021                 modified to integrate with the framework.

1074 karl    1.35 Version 0.97.4 - Tag Created for 0.97.4 and snapshot 7 July 2001
1075 karl    1.16 
1076              1. Deamonizaiton added to CIMServer.cpp by Mike Day.  This includes code bothe
1077              for NT and Linux platforms.
1078 mike    1.26 
1079 karl    1.17 2. KS Changed the namespace cimv20 to cimv2 and the default port from 888 to
1080              5988.
1081              NOTE: 5988 is now the officially recognized preferred port for a CIMServer by
1082              the DMTF.
1083 mike    1.26 
1084 karl    1.17 3. KS Corrected some errors found in interoperability testing during the DMTF
1085              Fusion event.  THis included a) extended the test for end of HTTP header from
1086              CR/LF/CR/LF to also allow LF/LF.  Not strictly legal but widely used. b).
1087              Extended the HTTP message ID to allow for non-numeric message IDs.
1088 mike    1.26 
1089 bob     1.18 4. Broke out RepositoryDeclContext class from Repository/CIMRepository.cpp
1090              and created RepositoryDeclContext.{cpp,h}.  This is the first step in
1091              revamping the compiler to work independently of the repository (grb).
1092 mike    1.26 
1093 bob     1.19 5. Created new makefile Compiler/Makefile.grammar and modified
1094              Compiler/Makefile; and added cimmof_tab.{cpp,h} and cimmof_lex.cpp.
1095              Now when you build normally, you will get the committed grammar and parser
1096              files instead of generating your own for a particular platform.  This should
1097              prevent back-level lex and yacc implementations from generating troublesome
1098              code.  The committed files are generated from flex 2.5.4 and bison 1,28.
1099 bob     1.20 (grb)
1100 mike    1.26 
1101 bob     1.20 6.  Added Compiler/compilerDeclContext.{cpp,h} and makefile changes.
1102              This change paves the way for upcoming changes that will allow the compiler
1103              to work indepently of the repository. (grb)
1104 mike    1.26 
1105 karl    1.21 7. Extend testclient (clients/testclient) tests and functions. ks 19 June 2001
1106 mike    1.26 
1107 karl    1.25 8. CV added const to CIMOperations modifyInstance, createInstance,
1108              modifyClass,
1109 chip    1.22 createClass to protect caller's object.
1110 mike    1.26 
1111 karl    1.25 9. CV added CIMQueryProvider and CIMAssociationProvider to the Provider2
1112              directory. These
1113              interfaces allow very smart providers to perform advances operations.
1114              CIMProviderStub has
1115 chip    1.23 been updated to support the new interfaces. Needs testing.
1116 mike    1.26 
1117 sage    1.24 10. Added rpm packaging support and shell script based build process. MM
1118 mike    1.26 
1119 karl    1.25 11. Changed Make so make tests no longer rebuilds repository.  To rebuild
1120              repository you make world, make rebuild or make repository. ks
1121 mike    1.26 
1122              12. Added associators() and associatorNames() operations to CIM repository.
1123 mike    1.27     (MEB)
1124              
1125              13. More on association implementation (all four operations supported).
1126                  Need to handle deletion of associations and protocol stubs still.
1127                  Need to test class associations (rather than just instance associations).
1128                  Need to handle deleteInstance().
1129                  (MEB)
1130 mike    1.26 
1131 mday    1.28 14. slp client code integrated as pegasus-style c++ library. (MDD)
1132              
1133 karl    1.30 15. (Karl)Update CGI Client to correct number of errors and install
1134              AssociationName
1135 karl    1.29 and ReferenceName functions.  This included extensive update to the HTML
1136              pages.
1137              
1138 karl    1.30 16. (Denise E.) Changes to slp client support code for HPUX (
1139 sage    1.31 
1140              17. (Markus Mueller) Additional changes to support dynamic libraries. Fixed
1141              ProviderTable tests. Fixed build process (slp with PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB).
1142              Made cimserver accept the -D flag to eliminate the need for environment
1143              variables.
1144 mike    1.32 
1145              18. (Mike Brasher) Added support for Associators(), AssociatorNames(),
1146                  References() and ReferenceNames() CIM operations. These only operate
1147                  on instances at this time. They will operate on classes soon.
1148 kumpf   1.34 
1149              19. (Mike Glantz) Extended and modified dynamic support
1150                  changes to (1) work on HP-UX and (2) have all images and libraries
1151                  buildable per the value of PEGASUS_SUPPORTS_DYNLIB. The biggest
1152                  change is to program.mak and library-unix.mak, removing specific
1153                  lists of dynamic library specs and putting them in the Makefile
1154                  and libraries.mak files that build the actual targets (lots of
1155                  these now have DYNAMIC_LIBRARIES defined).
1156 karl    1.35 
1157              20. (Karl) added basic Queue function to common (based on array) and added
1158                  tests for stack and queue.

1168              	a. Enable trace to log file.
1169 karl    1.12 	b. Add option so that you can trace to console or trace to logfile (-l
1170              	is
1171 karl    1.11 	   trace to log, -t is trace to console).
1172              	c. add parameter in optionsrow for help message and enable the capture
1173 karl    1.12 	   of these messages in Options class.  Also added help print that
1174              	   prints these things out.  However, format not to beautiful.
1175 karl    1.11 	d. Eliminate a couple of messages coming from __Namespace provider.
1176              	e. Extend the Clients\testclient so he does tests on Namespace.

1190 mike    1.33 
1191 karl    1.15 7. (KS)Added logger entry to XMLParser for errors.  NOTE: At this point it may
1192              not
1193 karl    1.14 print out all of the message.  At the least it prints out the error message
1194              and components of the message causing the problem.
1195 mike    1.33 
1196 karl    1.15 8. (KS)Added clean option to server but temprarily disabled.

1223 karl    1.3  1. Add PEG_NOT_FOUND symbol to replace Uint32(-1) in any of the object
1224              find functions.  Note: This symbol is defined in config.h. (ks).
1225

1235              1. Added methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance, for existance of properties,
1236              qualifiers, methods.
1237              2. Add methods in CIMClass, CIMInstance to remove properties, qualifier,
1238              methods.
1239              3. Added CIMmethod and CIMProperty in CIMMethod to text for existance of
1240              qualifiers and to
1241              remove qualifiers.
1242              4. Ported to AIX. NOTE: This port was done using an earlier version of the AIX
1243              compiler.  It probably imposed more limitations than would be required with
1244 karl    1.2  the current compiler.  This version of the port produces an excessively large
1245              common module due to template bloat.  That problem will be fixed in a future
1246              change to the port. Also there are a log of duplicate symbol warnings generate
1247              by the AIC compiler but these cause no problems.  The port has been tested
1248              with the complete unit test and client/server test successfully.
