HP-[Bapu Patil] Added aCC flags to support HP-UX IA64 bit O.S.

SSL support: Description

Add CIMOM Shutdown Service and shutdown CLI.

HP-[CAKG] indication subscription service provider

Replace _min macro with Peg_min

HP-YZ Implement Pegasus registration provider which does provider registration, block, unblock, and stop a provider. It also alert Subscription Service of any provider registration changes

New

HP-NB, HP-SF: Implemented the Security components for authentication and authorization.

HP-RK Implemented ModifyInstance in the repository so that it respects the IncludeQualifiers and PropertyList parameters.  Updated SetProperty in the repository so that it uses ModifyInstance correctly.  The repository now supports GetProperty and SetProperty in addition to ModifyInstance.  Implemented GetProperty and SetProperty in the Dispatcher and Provider2 so that they get translated to GetInstance and ModifyInstance calls (respectively) in the provider.  Providers written to the Provider2 API that correctly process the new ModifyInstance parameters will automatically support SetProperty operations.  Note that GetProperty and SetProperty currently only work for String properties because of an XML encoding limitation.

HP-RK Added a new ServiceCIMOMHandle to pass to providers that act as services.  This handle provides service providers with access to the CIMServer data structures.

HP-RK Added two new configuration properties to support alternate behavior of the Pegasus repository: repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider and repositoryProviderName.

Added NSK platform support in common module

HP-RK Extended the changes in the ModifyInstance and EnumerateInstances operations to the Provider2 API.  Updated the Pegasus providers to comply with the modified API.

HP-RK Changed the return value of EnumerateInstances from Array<CIMInstance> to Array<CIMNamedInstance>.  Changed the parameter to ModifyInstance from CIMInstance to CIMNamedInstance.  Added an optional PropertyList parameter to ModifyInstance.  Changed all handling of PropertyList parameters to use the CIMPropertyList class instead of Array<String>.  Each of these changes was required to comply with the DMTF specification.  These changes were made throughout the system except for in the provider API.  For now, the CIMProviderHandle and CIMBaseProviderHandle hide the differences from providers, so older providers will continue to function.  However, this means that clients can not yet take advantage of the added functionality.

HP-NB Implemented Authentication code on the server to challenge requests, authenticate the challenge responses, and verify the subsequent authorized requests. Implemented authentication mechanism in the Client API to send responses to the challenges from the server. Current implementation supports only 'local' authentication mechanism. Authentication can be enabled by setting the config property 'requireAuthentication' to true.

HP-SF Added the cimuser command line interface source files. This CLI allows addition, modification, removal and listing of CIM users. The CLI is not linked to the main makefile as the Provider functionality is yet to be submitted. Added 'String getPassword(char* prompt)' function to the System.h and cpp files.

HP-RK Added a CIMNamedInstance class to hold the argument to ModifyInstance and the return values from EnumerateInstances.

HP-SF Added a function to the CIMReference class to handle local instance path and local classpath. Modified the CIMOperationRequestDecoder to handle <LOCALCLASSPATHELEMENT ...>. Changed the CIMOperationRequestEncoder to call the localObjectPathtoXml.

HP-RK Added a toXml(void) method to CIMValue.  Eliminated improper use of CIMValue.toString(), often replacing with CIMValue.get(String&) or CIMValue.toXml().  Added some error handling in the indication handlers.

HP-RK Changed CIMValue.toString() to output a String value directly rather than using _toXml() to encode it.  _toXml() replaces special characters with the UTF-8 encoding.  If the XML encoding is desired, CIMValue.toXml() should be used instead.

 nsk platform support

*** empty log message ***

HP-RK Implement encoding/decoding of GetProperty/SetProperty/EnumerateInstances request/response messages.

HP-YZ Fixed createInstance to return a CIMReference (instanceName).

HP-SF Modified tracer to return invalid components in case of error in setting trace components. Modified the property owner init and update methods. Submitted the BuildMakefile with clean build, rebuild and trace configuration options.

cmt 35

HP-RK Fix XML encoding of key property values of reference type.

comment 32 - move to CIM26

HP-JY Fixed CIMReference constructor to allow commas in key string values.

HP-SF Added an interface to the Tracer to allow tracing a specific number of bytes in a string. Modified the XmlIO trace code to use the new interface. Changed the config file defaults for tracing.

HP-YZ Changed cimconfig to accept setting property to be NULL. Also, if -u -p is specified in the cimconfig, instead of updating property value to be default in the planned config file, remove the property from the planned config file. Converted ConfigSettingProvider to use provider2 library. HP-NB Modified cimconfig and ConfigFileHandler to allow creating of config files when the cimconfig is run without the CIMOM running.

HP-[Nitin Upasani] Implementation of snmpIndicationHandler.

Modified ProviderModule.cpp to fix the problem with constructing provider name and loading the providers for unix platforms. Also moved the shared library name construction (appending .sl or .so) from CIMOperationRequestDispatcher.cpp/SystemUnix.cpp to ProviderModule.cpp and included it in a method that returns provider file path name.

HP-[Nitin Upasani] Decoders are changed to parse Xml completely before sending request and response.

Added first level implementation of authentication to the pegasus code. Created an Authentication Manager and authenticator interfaces. The file based local authentication module has been modified to implement the local authenticator interface, to generate the challenge for the unauthorized requests and to verify the authentication. A skeleton program has been created for the Basic Authenticator. This code is not yet linked into the build.

HP-[Nitin Upasani] Implementation of InvokeMethod.

HP-BJH Added some tracing for provider loading.

HP-[Nitin Upasani] Implementation of ExportIndication and Consumer.

initial Signal Handler support - linux only

HP-YZ Added tracing in files CIMOperationRequestDecoder.cpp and CIMOperationResponseEncoder.cpp so XML input and output can be written in a trace file.

HP-WO Added servlet routing of xmlCIM requests to CIMServer.

Initial z/OS support

HP-[JC] Initial contribution of wbemexec test directory and make infrastructure.  This submittal also includes an initial set of test scripts.

new

new

Fixed a bug that was creating an empty trace file. Changed the Tracer's test program executable file name to TracerTest.

update

HP-RK Combine instances of each class into a common file to reduce the number of files required by the default repository implementation.

new comment

HP-[CAKG] wbemexec CLI bug fix and enhanced debug option

HP-NB Modified Config framework to remove dependency on the config files at the start of the cimserver. Now the cimserver will use in-memory default values in the absence of config files and command line options. Fixed a few defects in the config framework that were causing cimom to crash under certain conditions. Changed the config provider class name to 'PG_ConfigSetting' in the mof file and modified provider implementation files accordingly. Also modified the config CLI to show user friendly error/status messages.

HP-DE Changes to mu utility to support HP-UX build.

cimmof parser change

change schemas

add to 1.1.1

version 1.1.1 started

Removed function call ltoa() from the Tracer.cpp source. Defined a constant to contain the max length of unsigned integer.

Local Channel Authentication module

fix text conflict with last commit

Config Framework, Config Provider and cimconfig CLI files.

(Carol Ann Krug Graves - HP)  Implementation of wbemexec CLI.

Threading:
Linux specific implementation of simple threading relevant classes

   (Nitin Upasani - HP) Implementation of handleIndication() to deliver
   indication by defining IndicationDispatcher, HandlerTable, CIMHandler
   and ExportClient classes. the indication.

   Also implemented CIMxmlIndicationHandler and sendmailIndicationHandler to
   make the delivery of indications over Xml-HTTP and email respectively.

   Provided examples for HandlerTable, XmlIndicationDelivery and
   SendMailIndicationDelivery to support this implementation.
