17 This document defines a set of recommended options for building,
18 testing and running OpenPegasus on a selected set of
19 platforms. In this version of the document, platform-specific configuration
20 information have been documented for the platforms described in the
21 "Documented Platforms" section of this document.

24 <p><b>Note 1: </b>
25 The recommendations defined in this document are not intended to document
26 the feature set included in any vendor's OpenPegasus-based product.
27 Rather, the purpose of this document is to provide input to vendors when
28 making product decisions.<BR>

33 <h2>Definition of the Problem</h2>
34
35 <p>OpenPegasus supports a large number of build and runtime options.
36 Determining which options to use can be challenging. The purpose of this
37 document is to simplify the build, testing and administration of OpenPegasus
38 by providing a recommended, tested set of options.</p>
39
40 <h2>Documented Platforms</h2>
41
42 <p>Support for the OpenPegasus build and runtime options described in
43 denise.eckstein 1.1 this document varies by platform. In this version of the
44 document, platform-specific configuration information has been included
45 for the platforms described in the following table. For all other
46 platforms, please consult the OpenPegasus Platform Advocate for
47 additional information.</p>

103 <h2>Proposed Solution</h2>
104
105 <h3>Security Considerations</h3>
106 denise.eckstein 1.1 <ol>
107 <li>
108 To avoid introducing security vulnerabilities, vendors must never
109 ship providers incompatible with the security assumptions used in
110 their deployment.
111 For example, providers designed for a single-user deployment that
112 don't perform authorization must not be shipped with a CIM Server
113 that expects the providers to perform authorization. Note that
114 this authorization burden is considerably lighter if the provider
115 is registered as 'run as requestor' and if the CIM Server enables
116 that feature. See <a href=
117 "http://www.openpegasus.org/pp/uploads/40/7197/SecurityGuidePEP.htm">
118 PEP#223 - Security Coding Guidelines</a> for additional
119 details.
120 </li>
121 <li>
122 Vendors should ensure they configure the CIM Server consistently
123 with the security requirements of their deployment.
124 </li>
125 </ol>
126
127 denise.eckstein 1.1 <h3>Terminology Notes</h3>
128 <ol>
129 <li>
130 In this document, the term "Not Set" is used to indicate
131 that the a value for the environment variable has not been defined.
132 "Set" is used to indicate that the value must be defined,
133 but the actual value of the variable is not checked.
134 </li>
135 </ol>
136
137 <h3>General Notes</h3>
138
139 <ol>
140 <li>
141 Not all functionality described in this document has achieved
142 "Green"status, please refer to the
143 <a href="http://www.openpegasus.org/page.tpl?CALLER=index.tpl&ggid=799">
144 OpenPegasus Project Feature Status </a>page for information on
145 the maturity level of OpenPegasus features.
146 </li>
147 <li>
148 denise.eckstein 1.1 To encourage testing of new functionality, recommendations for the
149 Development Build may include features that are not yet recommended
150 for Release Builds.

154 <h3>Environment Variable Settings for <u>Building</u> OpenPegasus</h3>
155
156 <h4>Definitions</h4>
157
158 <h5>ICU_INSTALL</h5>
159 <ul>
160 <b>Description: </b>When set, points to the directory containing
161 the <a href="%20http:/oss.software.ibm.com/icu"> ICU(International
162 Components for Unicode)</a> installation. The 'include'
163 subdirectory is used to locate ICU header files at build time. The
164 'lib' subdirectory is used to locate ICU libraries at link
165 time.<br>
166 <b>Default Value: </b>Not Set<br>
167 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>Not Set<br>
168 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>Not Set<br>
169 denise.eckstein 1.1 <b>Required: </b>No. However, if PEGASUS_HAS_ICU is
170 set and ICU_INSTALL is not defined, the ICU libraries and header
171 files are expected to be installed in directories (e.g.,/usr/lib,
172 /usr/include) that are searched by default.<br>
173 <b>Considerations: </b>This environment variable is only used
174 if PEGASUS_HAS_MESSAGES is set. Refer to PEGASUS_HAS_MESSAGES for
175 additional details.
176 </ul>
177
178 <h5>ICU_NO_UPPERCASE_ROOT</h5>
179 <ul>
180 <b>Description: </b>If set, the messages in the root resource
181 bundle will NOT be capitalized. By default, the root resource
182 bundle is capitalized.<br>
183 <b>Default Value: </b>Not Set<br>
184 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>Not Set<br>
185 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>Not Set<br>
186 <b>Required: </b>No<br>
187 <b>Considerations: </b>This environment variable is only used
188 if PEGASUS_HAS_MESSAGES is set. Refer to PEGASUS_HAS_MESSAGES for
189 additional details.
190 denise.eckstein 1.1 </ul>
191
192 <h5>ICU_ROOT_BUNDLE_LANG</h5>
193 <ul>
194 <b>Description: </b>If set, specifies the language
195 to be used to generate the root resource bundle. The
196 default value for ICU_ROOT_BUNDLE_LANG is _en.<br>
197 <b>Default Value: </b>_en<br>
198 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>No
199 Recommendation<br>
200 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>No Recommendation<br>
201 <b>Required: </b>No<br>
202 <b>Considerations: </b>This environment variable is
203 only used if PEGASUS_HAS_MESSAGES is set. Refer to
204 PEGASUS_HAS_MESSAGES for additional details.<br>
205 If set, resource bundles for the designated language must
206 exist for the following files:
207 <ul>
208 <li>pegasus/src/Pegasus/msg/Server/pegasusServer_en.txt</li>
209 <li>pegasus/src/Pegasus/msg/Listener/pegasusListener_en.txt</li>
210 </ul>
211 denise.eckstein 1.1 </ul>
212
213
214 <h5>OPENSSL_BIN</h5>
215 <ul>
216 <b>Description: </b>Specifies the location of the
217 OpenSSL <i>binary</i> directory. <br>
218 <b>Default Value: </b>Not Set<br>
219 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>
220 No Specific Recommendation<br>
221 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>
222 No Specific Recommendation<br>
223 <b>Required: </b>No. By default, the openssl binary is
224 expected to be installed in a directory that is searched by default
225 (e.g., /usr/bin). For platforms where this isn't true, the
226 OPENSSL_BIN environment variable may be used to define an
227 alternative path. This environment variable is only used if
228 PEGASUS_HAS_SSL is set.
229 </ul>
230
231 <h5>OPENSSL_HOME</h5>
232 denise.eckstein 1.1 <ul>
233 <b>Description: </b>Specifies the location of the OpenSSL
234 SDK directory. This directory must contain the OpenSSL
235 <i>include</i> directory, $(OPENSSL_HOME)/include, and the OpenSSL
236 <i>library</i> directory, $(OPENSSL_HOME)/lib.<br>
237 <b>Default Value: </b>Not Set<br>
238 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>
239 No Specific Recommendation<br>
240 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>
241 No Specific Recommendation<br>
242 <b>Required: </b>Yes for Windows, if PEGASUS_HAS_SSL
243 is set. No for all other platforms. For AIX, the default
244 value for OPENSSL_HOME is /usr/linux. For all other
245 platforms, the OpenSSL include files and libraries are expected
246 to be installed in directories that are searched by default (e.g.,
247 /usr/bin, /usr/lib(64), and /usr/include).
248 For platforms where the default value is not correct, the
249 OPENSSL_HOME environment variable may be used to define an
250 alternative path (i.e., $(OPENSSL_HOME)/lib and
251 $(OPENSSL_HOME)/include). This environment variable
252 is only used if PEGASUS_HAS_SSL is set.
253 denise.eckstein 1.1 </ul>
254
255 <h5>PEGASUS_ALLOW_ABSOLUTEPATH_IN_PROVIDERMODULE</h5>
256 <ul>
257 <b>Description: </b>If set to true, a version of OpenPegasus
258 will be built that allows an absolute path to be specified as the
259 value of the Location property of PG_ProviderModule class.
260 Otherwise it does not allow the absolute path to be specified.<br>
261 <b>Default Value: </b>Not Set<br>
262 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>Not Set<br>
263 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>Not Set<br>
264 <b>Required: </b>No<p>
265 <b>Considerations: </b>To avoid introducing security
266 vulnerabilities, vendors should analyze their deployment
267 environments to understand the security implications of allowing
268 providers to be loaded from a dynamically changing set of
269 directories.<br>
270 </ul>
271
272 <h5>PEGASUS_CCOVER</h5>
273 <ul>
274 denise.eckstein 1.1 <b>Description: </b>This flag is currently only supported on
275 HP-UX. It is enabled on the Nightly Build & Test system,
276 HP-UX_11iv3_Integrity_C-Cover. This system is
277 used to generate the nightly BullseyeCoverage code coverage
278 metrics.<br>
279 <b>Default Value: </b>Not Set<br>
280 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>Not Set<br>
281 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>Not Set<br>
282 <b>Required: </b>No<br>
283 <b>Considerations: </b>This flag is only supported on HP-UX to enable
284 CCOVER for the NB&T system.<br>
285 </ul>
286
287 <h5>PEGASUS_CIM_SCHEMA</h5>
288 <ul>
289 <b>Description: </b>This variable is used internally by the
290 OpenPegasus development team when upgrading the OpenPegasus build
291 environment to a new version of the CIM Schema.<br>
292 <b>Default Value: </b>CIM217<br>
293 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>
294 No Specific Recommendation<br>
295 denise.eckstein 1.1 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>
296 No Specific Recommendation<br>
297 <b>Required: </b>No <br>
298 <b>Considerations:</b> Additional code changes may be required when
299 upgrading or downgrading the CIM Schema version.</p>
300 </ul>
301
302 <h5>PEGASUS_CLASS_CACHE_SIZE</h5>
303 <ul>
304 <b>Description: </b>This environment variable gives the size of
305 the class cache used by CIM repository. This variable defines the
306 size of the class cache (i.e., the maximum number of classes that
307 may be included). If this variable is set to 0, class caching is
308 disabled.<br>
309 <b>Default Value: </b>8<br>
310 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>8<br>
311 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>8<br>
312 <b>Required: </b>No </p>
313 </ul>
314
315 <h5>PEGASUS_DEBUG</h5>
316 denise.eckstein 1.1 <ul>
317 <b>Description: </b>Builds a debug version of OpenPegasus.
318 Concurrently, this flag controls a) enabling compiler specific
319 debug flags and b) the inclusion of debug-specific
320 functionality.<br>
321 <b>Default Value: </b>Not Set<br>
322 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>Set<br>
323 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>Not Set<br>
324 <b>Required: </b>No
325 </ul>
326
327 <h5>PEGASUS_DEFAULT_USERCTXT_REQUESTOR</h5>
328 <ul>
329 <b>Description: </b> If set to true, the <i>Requestor</i> user
330 context is used for providers that do not specify a UserContext
331 value in their registration. Otherwise, the <i>Privileged</i> user
332 context value is used by default. <br>
333 <b>Default Value: </b>false<br>
334 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>false<br>
335 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>false<br>
336 <b>Required: </b>No
337 denise.eckstein 1.1 <b>Considerations:</b> Use of the <i>Requestor</i> default has
338 improved provider security characteristics. However, some providers
339 may not operate correctly when run in the <i>Requestor</i> user
340 context and setting this value to true may cause those providers to
341 fail. Providers that can run in the <i>Requestor</i>
342 user context are encouraged to explicitly set the UserContext value
343 in their registration rather than rely on the default setting
344 default by this variable. Please refer to
345 SecurityGuidelinesForDevelopers.html. PEP 223 for a discussion
346 of the rationale/advantages of running providers in the
347 <i>Requestor </i> user context. <b>Note:</b> This build
348 variable is not meaningful if the Provider User Context feature is
349 disabled with the PEGASUS_DISABLE_PROV_USERCTXT
350 setting.
351 </ul>
352
353
354 <h5>PEGASUS_DEFAULT_ENABLE_OOP</h5>
355 <ul>
356 <b>Description: </b>When this variable is set to false, by
357 default, Providers are run in the cimserver process
358 denise.eckstein 1.1 (forceProviderProcesses=false). If this value is set true,
359 Providers are run out-of-process by default.<br>
360 <b>Default Value: </b>true for HP-UX and Linux, false for
361 other platforms<br>
362 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>true (HP-UX,
363 Linux)<br>
364 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>true (HP-UX,
365 Linux)<br>
366 <b>Required: </b>No<br>
367 <b>Considerations: </b>This environment variable can be used to
368 change the "hard-coded" default setting for the
369 forceProviderProcesses configuration value.
370 Refer to the definition of <b>forceProviderProcesses</b> for
371 additional information.
372 </ul>
373
374 <h5>PEGASUS_DEST_LIB_DIR</h5>
375 <ul>
376 <b>Description: </b>Specifies the location of OpenPegasus
377 shared libraries.<br>
378 <b>Default Value: </b>$(PEGASUS_HOME)/lib<br>
379 denise.eckstein 1.1 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>
380 $(PEGASUS_HOME)/lib<br>
381 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>
382 No Specific Recommendation <br>
383 <b>Required: </b>No<br>
384 <b>Considerations: </b>This variable is NOT is used to define
385 the location of the Provider library directories.
386 Please refer to the providerDir configuration option for details
387 on defining the directories for the Provider libraries.
388 </ul>
389
390
391 <h5>PEGASUS_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_INTERFACES</h5>
392 <ul>
393 <b>Description: </b>Removes deprecated symbol definitions
394 from OpenPegasus runtime libraries.<br>
395 <b>Default Value:</b> Not Set<br>
396 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build):</b> Not Set<br>
397 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>Not Set<br>
398 <b>Required: </b>No<br>
399 <b>Considerations: </b>If this option is set, the resulting
400 denise.eckstein 1.1 OpenPegasus libraries will not be binary compatible with
401 clients and providers built using interface definitions from
402 prior releases. This option may be used to slightly reduce binary
403 footprint in an environment where compatibility is not required.<br>
404 </ul>
405
406 <h5>PEGASUS_DISABLE_INSTANCE_QUALIFIERS</h5>
407 <ul>
408 <b>Description: </b>In the CIM Infrastructure Specification,
409 version 2.3, the DMTF clarified that instance-level qualifiers are
410 not allowed. In Version 1.2 of the Specification CIM
411 Operations over HTTP, use of the IncludeQualifiers parameter has
412 been DEPRECATED.<br>
413 <b>Default Value:</b> Not Set<br>
414 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build):</b> Not Set<br>
415 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>Not Set<br>
416 <b>Required: </b>No<br>
417 <b>Considerations: </b>Existing CIM Clients may depend on
418 qualifiers being returned in the response. In this case, the
419 PEGASUS_DISABLE_INSTANCE_QUALIFIERS should not be set.
420 If this flag is set, the value of the IncludeQualifiers parameter
421 denise.eckstein 1.1 passed on the GetInstance and EnumerateInstance operations is
422 ignored and qualifiers are not returned.
423 Disabling the return of qualifiers as part of a CIM Instance will
424 improve performance.<br>
425 </ul>
426
427 <h5>PEGASUS_DISABLE_LOCAL_DOMAIN_SOCKET</h5>
428 <ul>
429 <b>Description: </b>Disables support for local (same-system)
430 connections over a Unix domain socket. If this option is NOT set,
431 the CIM Server is built to allow connections to be established
432 using a domain socket rather than a TCP port.<br>
433 <b>Default Value: </b>Not Set <br>
434 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>Not Set<br>
435 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>Not Set<br>
436 <b>Required: </b>No<br>
437 <b>Considerations: </b>(1) In high-threat environments, a
438 customer may want to disable all ports or reduce the number of
439 exposed network ports. Supporting a local connection mechanism
440 using Unix domain socket allows the CIM Server to continue to
441 receive and process requests from local CIM Clients. (2)
442 denise.eckstein 1.1 Enabling this option may result in lose of functionality when
443 sslClientVerificationMode = required. (3)The
444 "LOCAL_DOMAIN_SOCKET" functionality has not been
445 implemented for Windows or OpenVMS. Therefore, by
446 default, this option is "Set" for Windows and OpenVMS
447 platforms.
448 </ul>
449
450 <h5>PEGASUS_DISABLE_PERFINST</h5>
451 <ul>
452 <b>Description: </b>Builds a version of OpenPegasus that
453 disables support for gathering performance data.<br>
454 <b>Default Value: </b>Not Set<br>
455 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>Not Set<br>
456 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>Set<br>
457 <b>Required: </b>No<br>
458 <b>Considerations: </b>The CIM_ObjectManager.GatherStatisticalData
459 property is used to control statistic gathering. Once enabled,
460 statistical data can be viewed by retrieving instances of the
461 CIM_StatisticalData class. Support for gathering performance
462 data requires PEGASUS_ENABLE_INTEROP_PROVIDER to be enabled. If
463 denise.eckstein 1.1 PEGASUS_ENABLE_INTEROP_PROVIDER is explicitly disabled (i.e., set
464 to false), then PEGASUS_DISABLE_PERFINST must be set to
465 true. If PEGASUS_DISABLE_PERFINST is not defined or set to
466 false and PEGASUS_ENABLE_INTEROP_PROVIDER is not set,
467 PEGASUS_ENABLE_INTEROP_PROVIDER will be automatically enabled.
468 </ul>
469
470 <h5>PEGASUS_DISABLE_PRIVILEGED_TESTS</h5>
471 <ul>
472 <b>Description: </b>This variable is used only in the development
473 environment to restrict the level of testing performed by default.
474 If set, tests that require the CIM Server to run in a privileged
475 mode will not be run. Setting this variable allows
476 developers, without privileged access, to successfully run a
477 subset of the OpenPegasus test suit. This variable does
478 not affect CIM Server functionality. It merely controls
479 the level of testing.<br>
480 <b>Default Value: </b>Not Set<br>
481 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>Not Set<br>
482 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>Not Used<br>
483 <b>Required: </b>No<br>
484 denise.eckstein 1.1 <b>Considerations: </b>Enabling this variable will significantly
485 reduce the testing of security related features (e.g.,
486 authentication and authorization) and can affect testing in other
487 areas.
488 </ul>
489
490 <h5>PEGASUS_DISABLE_PROV_USERCTXT</h5>
491 <ul>
492 <b>Description: </b>Builds a version of OpenPegasus that
493 disables supports for the Provider User Context feature.
494 This feature allows a Provider to choose the user context in
495 which it is invoked, including the ability to run in the context of
496 the user requesting an operation.<br>
497 <b>Default Value: </b>Set for Windows and OpenVMS, Not Set
498 for all other platforms<br>
499 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>Set for Windows and
500 OpenVMS, Not Set for all other platforms<br>
501 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>Set for Windows and
502 OpenVMS, Not Set for all other platforms<br>
503 <b>Required: </b>No<br>
504 <b>Considerations: </b>The Provider User Context feature may be
505 denise.eckstein 1.1 disabled by compiling with the PEGASUS_DISABLE_PROV_USERCTXT flag
506 defined. In this case, the Provider Registration Manager rejects
507 provider registration requests that specify a UserContext property
508 value. The user context in which providers run is then unchanged by
509 this enhancement. Some platforms, such as OS/400 and z/OS may
510 define the PEGASUS_DISABLE_PROV_USERCTXT as part of the platform
511 configuration, since these platforms already set the provider user
512 context on a per-thread basis. When the Provider User Context
513 feature is enabled, support for each of the User Context types may
514 be disabled individually. Provider registration fails when an
515 unsupported UserContext value is specified. Please refer to
516 SecurityGuidelinesForDevelopers.html / PEP 223 for a discussion of
517 the rationale/advantages of user context providers to many
518 platforms.<br>
519 </ul>
520
521 <h5>PEGASUS_EMANATE_INCLUDE_DIR</h5>
522 <ul>
523 <b>Description: </b>Specifies the location of the EMANATE
524 <i>include</i> directory. <br>
525 <b>Default Value: </b>Not Set<br>
526 denise.eckstein 1.1 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>
527 No Specific Recommendation<br>
528 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>
529 No Specific Recommendation<br>

769 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>true<br>
770 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>true<br>
771 <b>Required: </b>No<br>
772 <b>Considerations: </b>When this variable is set to
773 'false', support for IPv6 socket APIs and structures is disabled,
774 and the CIM Server will not accept connections to or from IPv6
775 network interfaces. When this variable is set to 'true', the
776 newer IPv6 socket APIs and structures will be included when
777 OpenPegasus is built, so they must be supported on the build
778 denise.eckstein 1.1 platform. However, if IPv6 is not supported on the platform on
779 which an IPv6-enabled version of OpenPegasus is run, then the IPv6
780 feature will be disabled at run-time and only IPv4 connections

823 <b>Required: </b>No<br>
824 <b>Considerations: </b> The Privilege Separation feature is
825 only supported on HP-UX and Linux platforms. The 'cimsrvr' user
826 must be defined on the system. If the umask setting in the
827 environment is not 0, PEGASUS_TMP must be set to a directory that
828 is writable by the 'cimsrvr' user for the tests to run
829 successfully.

1020 English. ICU is an open source project at
1021 <a href="http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu">
1022 http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu</a>.
1023 Only English translations are included with the OpenPegasus
1024 distribution. The OpenPegasus distribution does not provide
1025 translated messages. But, enabling for ICU would allow vendor to
1026 provide the translations. Refer to the OpenPegasus Release README
1027 for additional information regarding the use of ICU. Although, in
1028 denise.eckstein 1.1 OpenPegasus 2.3.2, experience with localization support
1029 has been limited to a select set of platforms, wider platform
1030 adoption of this technology is planned for 2.5.<br>

1076 if the indications service queue is too large. It can be set
1077 to any positive value. If not set providers are never
1078 stalled. This implies that the indications service
1079 queue may become as large as necessary to hold all the
1080 indications generated. If set to any value then
1081 providers are stalled by forcing them to sleep when they
1082 try to deliver an indication and the indications service
1083 queue exceeds this value. They are resumed when the queue
1084 count falls 10 percent below this value. Stall and resume log
1085 entries are made to inform the administrator the condition has

1299 It defines the PEG_METHOD_ENTER and PEG_METHOD_EXIT macros
1300 to null statements. This helps to keep static code size small

1322 denise.eckstein 1.1 <b>Description: </b>Most SLP implementations allow a lifetime
1323 value to be specified in the registration sent to the SLP SA or
1324 DA. The PEGASUS_SLP_REG_TIMEOUT build variable allows a lifetime
1325 (ie. timeout) value to be specified on the SLP registration, with
1326 a 're-registration' being sent to SLP at the same specified
1327 timeout interval. The purpose of this lifetime or timeout value
1328 is to avoid the accumulation of stale service information
1329 in the SA or DA.<br>
1330 <b>Default Value: </b>Undefined<br>
1331 <b>Recommended Value (Development Build): </b>Undefined<br>
1332 <b>Recommended Value (Release Build): </b>Undefined<br>

1334 PEGASUS_SLP_REG_TIME=1440 (ie. 24 hours or 1 day)<br>
1335 <b>Considerations: </b>(1) The OpenPegasus internal SLP
1336 implementation does not support timeout registrations. This
1337 build option is useful, for example, if PEGASUS_USE_OPENSLP is
1338 defined. (2) Some SLP implementations may impose a
1339 maximum value for the lifetime parameter. For example, OpenSLP
1340 limits this value to SLP_LIFETIME_MAXIMUM (or 0xFFFF), and
1341 if this maximum value is passed to OpenSLP, then the timeout
1342 feature is disabled. Refer to the documentation of your SLP
1343 denise.eckstein 1.1 implementation for more information. (3) OpenPegasus will not
1344 do any validity checking on the specified value, either
1345 to determine if it is a valid positive integer or if it
1346 exceeds some maximum value.<br>

1372 affects the behavior of all recursive make targets (e.g.,
1373 clean, depend, all, unittests, alltests, and slptests).
1374 Use of this variable with test-related targets (e.g., unittests,
1375 alltests and slptests) can produce unexpected results.
1376 To avoid creating an inconsistent PEGASUS_HOME directory,
1377 the PEGASUS_HOME directory (i.e., the OpenPegasus build

1764 <ul>
1765
1766 <h5>Default Value</h5>
1767 The value of <i>Default Value</i> is the OpenPegasus
1768 default setting for this configuration option. This
1769 value is used if a platform-specific setting is not
1770 defined.
1771
1772 <h5>Recommended Default Value</h5>
1773 The PEGASUS_USE_RELEASE_CONFIG_OPTIONS variable allows a
1774 platform vendor to easily toggle between two sets of
1775 configurations options, a set of options tuned for the
1776 development/debug ("Development Build") environment
1777 and a set of options tuned for the production environment
1778 ("Release Build"). The value of
1779 <i>Recommended Value (Development Build)</i>
1780 is the recommended default value for use in a development/
1781 debug environment. The value of
1782 <i>Recommended Value (Release Build)</i> is the recommended
1783 default value for use in a production environment.
1784 denise.eckstein 1.1
1785 <h5>Recommend To Be Fixed/Hidden</h5>
1786 Configuration options can be defined as fixed or hidden.
1787 A "fix" configuration option is set at build time
1788 and cannot be changed without rebuilding. "Fixed"
1789 configuration options are not displayed using the cimconfig
1790 command. This feature can be used by vendors to limit
1791 OpenPegasus functionality and configurability.
1792
1793 A "hidden" configuration option is an option that is
1794 configurable (i.e., "not fixed"), but not externally
1795 advertised using the cimconfig command. The "hidden"
1796 feature can be used to define "internal use only"
1797 configuration options.
1798
1799 <h5>Dynamic?</h5>
1800 If yes, the value of the configuration option can be
1801 changed without stopping and restarting the CIM Server.

2298 <b>Dynamic?: </b>No<br>
2299 <b>Considerations: </b>In a dynamic, potentially multi-vendor,
2300 environment, the ability to run Providers in separate processes
2301 can significantly increase the stability, maintainability and
2302 supportability of the overall solution. Running Providers
2303 in separate process spaces: (1) helps isolate components (i.e.,
2304 cimserver and Providers) from a catastrophic failure
2305 (segmentation faults, memory leaks) of a single Provider and (2)
2306 reduces the risk of accidental or malicious sharing of sensitive
2307 data among Providers. This benefit comes at a cost.
2308 Moving Providers out of the cimserver process increases
2309 denise.eckstein 1.1 communication costs and can significantly increase response
2310 time. Actual results will vary, but it is common for
2311 response times to increase by a factor of 2.<br>
2312 <b>Note 1: </b>When forceProviderProcesses is true, the CIM
2313 Server will load each Provider Module (i.e., library) into a
2314 separate process. Providers in different Provider Modules
2315 cannot depend on a communication mechanism that
2316 requires them to run in the same process space.<br>
2317 <b>Note 2: </b>Although the catastrophic failure of an
2318 Out-Of-Process (OOP) Provider Module will not result in a
2319 failure of the CIM Server process, if the failed OOP Provider
2320 Module included Indication Providers, Indications may be
2321 lost. If logging is enabled, the CIM Server will log a
2322 message informing administrators of what happened and what
2323 corrective actions can be taken.<br>

2404 With the release of OpenPegasus 2.5, the default values for

2406 change was made to allow the OpenPegasus to differentiate

2409 number is explicitly set, the configured port will be used

2451 <b>Dynamic?: </b>No<br>
2452 <b>Considerations: </b>(1)The use of 5989 for WBEM HTTPS
2453 is recommended by the DMTF. This port has been registered with
2454 <a href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers">IANA</a>.
2455 In a production environment, the recommendation is to use
2456 denise.eckstein 1.1 /etc/services to configure the value of this port.(2)
2457 With the release of OpenPegasus 2.5, the default values for
2458 httpPort was changed from 5989 to "". This
2459 change was made to allow the OpenPegasus to differentiate
2460 between a default setting of 5989 and a customer-defined
2461 setting of 5989. With this change, if the port number
2462 is explicitly set, the configured port will be used regardless
2463 of the settings in /etc/services. If no port number is specified,
2464 the server will continue to use the value in /etc/services.<br>

2501 <b>Considerations: </b>A client connection is considered
2502 idle when it is not in the process of sending a request and
2503 the CIM Server is not processing a request from that connection.
2504 An idle connection timeout allows reclamation of the system
2505 resources allocated for idle CIM Server connections. Note that
2506 the CIM Server may allow an idle connection to persist longer
2507 than the configured timeout value based on server activity.
2508 Some client applications may not behave correctly if a
2509 connection timeout is introduced. Client compatibility should be
2510 considered when configuring an idle connection timeout value.
2511 The idle connection time is computed using the system clock.
2512 Thus, resetting the system clock may cause unexpected timeout

2615 <b>Considerations: </b>The CIM Server runs as a privileged

2623 In order to simplify the management task associated with

2682 by the CIM Client.<br>
2683
2684 The following issues should be considered when setting
2685 repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=true:
2686
2687 denise.eckstein 1.1 <ul>
2688 <li><b>Authorization.</b> The repository has no
2689 concept of which users (or components) are authorized to
2690 perform which operations.</li>
2691 <li><b>Appearance of instrumentation.</b> A client application
2692 cannot determine whether instrumentation exists for a
2693 given CIM class. For example, imagine a client
2694 issues a CreateInstance operation on a Disk class
2695 for which no provider is registered.
2696 The instance will be stored in the repository, and
2697 the client gets a "success" response. Does that mean a
2698 disk device has been created on the server? Even worse,
2699 when another client issues an EnumerateInstances
2700 operation, the spurious Disk instance is returned.
2701 With repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false, the
2702 CreateInstance operation above would have returned a
2703 NOT_SUPPORTED error.</li>
2704 <li><b>Potential for inconsistent data.</b> Using the
2705 repository as a data cache increases the probability
2706 that a client will see stale or incorrect data. A
2707 provider can better control the correlation
2708 denise.eckstein 1.1 between the data returned and the current state of the
2709 underlying managed resource (whether or not the provider
2710 caches the data).</li>
2711 </ul>
2712 <br>
2713
2714 The following issues should be considered when setting
2715 repositoryIsDefaultInstanceProvider=false:
2716
2717 <ul>
2718 <li><b>Provider Availability.</b> Certain Providers have been
2719 developed to use the Repository as a dynamic data store.
2720 These Providers are currently not supported on system
2721 where this flag is disabled. E.g., the Common Diagnostics
2722 Model (CDM) Provider
2723 (http://developer.intel.com/design/servers/cdm/)
2724 relies on use of the Repository to store instances
2725 of CIM_DiagnosticSetting. If this flag set to
2726 false, this Provider will not function correctly. Note
2727 that this feature is supported by other WBEM
2728 implementation. Therefore, disabling this feature
2729 denise.eckstein 1.1 can increase the cost of migrating existing Providers to
2730 OpenPegasus.</li>

2891 <b>Description: </b>Specifies the location of the OpenSSL
2892 truststore. Consistent with the OpenSSL implementation, a
2893 truststore can be either a file or directory. If the truststore
2894 is a directory, all the certificates within the directory are
2895 considered trusted.<br>

2919 name to be specified. This user will be associated
2920 with all certificates in the truststore. In the future,
2921 OpenPegasus will allow a system administrator to associate a
2922 distinct user name with each certificate.<br>
