OpenCOE 1.1.1.02002 May 12 OpenCOE 1.1.1.0 was released. Annouced on Freshmeat. Extensive improvements to the UAM Manager allowing the edits of Users and Profiles. Some Unix Group management features added. Sourceforge CVS Import completed2002 Apr 19 The CVS import of the 1.1.0.0 code is complete. Check out http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/opencoe. Freshmeat Listing2002 Apr 17 Hoping for some interested parties to join me in test and development, I have setup a Freshmeat listing. Welcome. Drop me a line at rbroberg@users.sf.net. Release 1.1.0.02002 Apr 15 Work on OpenCOE resumed this winter so now it is time for a new release. This release contains a Software Installer that can load segments from a local repository and a primitive User/Profile manager that can create a user on a Posix system that has sudo and expect loaded. An SDK is included for rolling your own segments. Install documentation updated. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. The 1.X series is development only. The 2.X series will be pre-releases with the 3.X to be a working implementation of the DII COE 3.X APIs. Install Notes added and Segment Update2001 May 10 I noticed that the March 31 Segments were not all loaded unto the site. They are now available. And the cd installation script has been modified to support an ftp download and install. See the bootstrap notes on the ftp site or at OpenCOE Bootstrap Installation Notes. Welcome, COE Developers!2001 May 09 Two letters and a bunch of hits from "official" sites and it seems that OpenCOE is on someone's radar. I am scrambling to update the site for you. New software, new installation notes, CVS entries at sourceforge are all scheduled for the next two weeks. So if you don't see what you want, send me a note at ronbroberg@yahoo.com and I will see what I can do. New FAQ at http://rhinohide.cx/opencoe/Resources/opencoe_faq.html. OpenCOE goes public at the CLIQ2001 March 30 All this activity had a reason. I was invited to lead a group discussion at the Colorado Linux Information Quest on March 30. I had several interested participants who drilled me on the purpose of pursuing a COE project. I can summarize that in 3 broad goals.1. The COE user/profile/application ACL model is known by large (hundreds to thousands) of DoD/Contractor sysads and engineers. A familiar model is more likely to be deployed than an unfamilair one.2. By providing a preprocessed and tested openCOE segment library of open sourced software, that software is more likely to be used by COE engineers.3. An open source COE project may provide engineering solutions that are usefull to the DII COE project. For instance, a more robust segmentation toolkit or improved auditing/logging functionality.I had great fun and the conference spurred me on to a great deal of coding. We now have a working prototype of the openCOE environment. You can get a slide presentation at ftp://rhinohide.cx/usr/rhinohide/OpenCOE/opencoe_mar31.ppt. openCOE Staff Account Group Released2001 March 29 The staff account group provides a template for creating new profiles for common users. System Administrator Account Group Released2001 March 29 The security administrator account group adds a secman user to the system and provides application data for the User Account Management Tools. System Administrator Account Group Released2001 March 29 The system administrator account group adds a sysadmin user to the system and provides application data for the segment installer. openCOE developers' toolkit (coe_dev) Released2001 March 29 The coe_dev segment includes the tools needed to create and validate new segments COE Kernel Release2001 March 29 The COE Kernel is the heart of the openCOE Platform. Included our the user tools ApplicationManager and ProfileSelector as well as the segment installation tool COEInstaller. Java2 Release2001 March 29 This is Sun's JRE for Java2 1.3 for Linux. This and Perl 5 form the runtime environment for openCOE. PERL5 Release2001 March 29 This is Perl 5.6 compilied for Linux. This and Java2 form the runtime environment for openCOE. Operating System Interface (OS) Alpha Release2001 March 29 This segment provides the capability to interface to the operating system to edit users, groups, inetd.conf and to get OS specific information such as the next available uid. User Account Management Tools (UAM) Alpha Release2001 March 29 The Java2 GUIs for user management are built. They include UAM_Manager which is a database browser, UAMEditGroup, UAM_EditProfile, and UAM_EditUser. The three Edit tools can be called up in three modes: edit, create, delete. However, only the create mode is currently enabled in EditUser and EditProfile. More work to come. User Management APIs (UserMgmt) Completed Today2001 February 28 All User Management APIs now have an alpha version coded. This is a complete set of the User Profile APIs indentified in the Application Program Interface Reference Manual (APIRM) for Kernel and Developer's Toolkit Version 3.3.0.0 (HP-UX/Solaris 2.5.1) . V0.0.0.2 will have all flags enabled (including man pages). V0.0.0.3 will have output verified against a DII COE version. V0.0.0.4 will have exit status checked against DII COE originals. V0.0.0.4 will then be packaged as an OpenCOE software segment and released as V3.0.0.0 to indicate DII COE 3.X compatability. You can download a copy at ftp://rhinohide.cx/usr/rhinohide/OpenCOE.
