TaskSmart W2200 1.01 Release Notes 

with Resolved Issues

The following issues are known or resolved in this release of the TaskSmart W2200 appliance software.

Web Server Configuration Application

Security

Resolved Issues:
- Unchecking SNMP, SMTP, POP3 or IMAP from Configuration > Network > Service Setup now disables the IP ports by interface
- Sendmail message transfer agent on IP port 587 is deactivated 
- Updated SSH Packages to latest versions 
- Updated glibc packages to latest versions
- Removed RedHat network daemon rhnsd
- Removed LPRng print spooler package

Web Server (Apache)

Issue: Apache httpd process may not restart when making changes in Configuration > Web Server > Module Setup.
Resolution: Click the Configuration > Web Server > Module Setup > Update button again to restart Apache.

Issue:  When logged in as administrator, Configuration>Web Server>VirtualSites>Add Virtual Site/Edit Additional Content Publishers Add and Remove buttons do not create or remove a link in the user's home directory to the virtual site although the user is added or deleted to/from the virtual site and a message states the the site is updated when either button is clicked.
Resolution: Click the Update button to add or delete the link in the user's home directory to the virtual site. The Current Users box accurately shows the users authorized to publish content to the virtual site.

Issue:  A user created by a site administrator does not get a link in their home directory to the virtual site.
Resolution: The user created by a site administrator must manually navigate to the virtual site under /home/VirtualSites. Users created by the system administrator get a link in their home directory to the virtual site as designed.

Issue: Individual virtual sites cannot support SSL because each needs its own SSL IP port.
Resolution: Apache cannot have more than one SSL virtual host on the same IP address/port combination at one time. The root web site may use SSL.

Resolved Issues:
- Added check to make sure SSH key regen value is equal to or above 3600 
- Added maximum limits on advanced Apache fields 
- Added public_html to users home directory 
- Added symbolic links in users home directory to their virtual sites 
- Access to a virtual site's web log is now restricted
- Resolved bug in edit virtual site that caused site administrators to be removed
- Resolved performance profiles/rapid startup Apache restart issue 
- Changing Configuration > Web Server > Module Setup > Allow Front Page extensions to "No", updating and later back to "Yes" now re-enables FrontPage extensions
- Changing Configuration > Web Server > Virtual Sites > Allow PHP extensions now allows the PHP extensions option by virtual site 

FTP

Resolved Issues:
- Updated ProFTPd FTP Server Packages
- FTP is now enabled by default
- Anonymous FTP is enabled or disabled by Ethernet interface

Network

Issue: When multiple NFS entries are present, deleting an NFS entry other than the first will cause future deletions to be performed on the entry above the one selected. Entries are not deleted from /etc/fstab and the deleted NFS entry stays on the screen.
Resolution: Login as root. Where <local mount point> is the Local Mount Point to be deleted, type umount <local mount point>. Remove the subdirectory for <local mount point>. Edit /etc/fstab and delete the entry for <local mount point>.

Issue: If one interface is configured for DHCP, upon logout, the web server configuration application will display an error that an interface is configured for DHCP.
Resolution: The DHCP address is intended for initial configuration only. A web server will normally use a static IP address. The interface should have a static IP address or be disabled to prevent this warning message.

Resolved Issues:
- NFS mounts reconnect after a system restore and directories are removed after NFS deletion
- Entering an invalid IP address for an NTP server will display an error
- Disabled name resolution for route add/delete to prevent long delays 
- Validation added for default gateway to warn if not on same network as one of the interfaces
- Removed BOOTP options on Eth0 and Eth1 interfaces
- IP address is blanked on disabled interface 
- IP addresses ending in 0 are now accepted by the web server configuration application if subnet mask should allow it such as a 22 subnet mask.
- Current IP addresses are added to /etc/hosts
- The DHCP client releases its IP address with a DHCPRELEASE packet upon shutdown.
- Disabling an Ethernet interface takes effect immediately.
- Default search domain now functions with ping, traceroute, or system upgrade.
- Diskette configuration - the friendly name, and network broadcast address are now set correctly from the Configuration Data Diskette.

Backup/Restore

Resolved Issues:
- NFS entries are restored from a full system backup
- The hostname can be changed after a full system backup is restored
- Fixed restore issues (IPchains, vhosts.conf, etc.)
- Modified backup routine to include interface configuration files 

E-mail

Resolved Issues:
- E-mail to root issue resolved
- E-mail alias issue resolved
- The Masquerade-as Address in the web server configuration application changes the sendmail settings
- Added option to select a default send e-mail address 
- Added IMAP Server

System Management

Issue: The system console reports "hdc: Bad Special Flag 0x03" on screen after several seconds.
Resolution: This is a benign error and no adverse effects have been observed.

Resolved Issues:
- A hostname change now updates the Insight web agent hostname
- Change health driver refresh interval from 30 secs to 5 which allows RapidLaunch to be more responsive with the unit identification (UID) LED and button
- The Compaq Insight Storage Agent is now installed.
- Rapid Startup shows current SNMP read/write community string
- The SNMP trap destination field is deleted if the GUI value is deleted 

General

Issue: Multiple administrators may access sites and make changes concurrently. Last save will override other users on the same site information.
Resolution: Coordinate administration activities to prevent this or check settings afterwards to verify values.

Issue:  The URL displayed at the end of Rapid Startup to reconnect the user to the GUI in the case where the IP address has been changed sometimes shows the wrong IP address.
Resolution: Verify the IP address is correct before clicking on the URL and cut and paste it to the address line of the web browser and edit it.

Resolved Issues:
- Welcome screen  immediately goes to Rapid Startup if host name is not changed from default "localhost.localdomain" 
- Users with similar login names may now be added (i.e. "Billy" and "bill") 
- Updated text on entry panels and messages to help user understand
- Updated display of version/release/upgrade history/system up time
- Added country code to user data
- Current user list shows FTP users
- Server Status is now functional
- Rapid Startup shows current name server
- Rapid Startup validation requires complete and valid information for the root web user
- The hour may now be to 00.

Documentation

Resolved Issues:
- The help system has been updated to include definitions and/or explanations for:

- Virtual site Total Allowed Site Users
-
Alerts 
- NFS Connections
- Web Server Name and Hostname
- E-mail Masquerading through a firewall
- Backup/Restore
- DNS entries for the TaskSmart web server must be entered manually in the DNS server(s)
- Manual changes to configuration files from the command shell may cause the web server configuration application to become inaccurate

Changes Made Outside of the Web Server Configuration Application

Issue: Manual changes to configuration files from the command shell may cause the web server configuration application to become inaccurate.
Resolution: Use the web server configuration application to configure the appliance.  Avoid changes through the command shell.

Issue: linuxconf prompts user to change file ownership, permissions and/or start packages.
Resolution: Avoid using linuxconf. If you must use it, respond NO to all prompts to change permissions, ownerships, or start packages.

Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser

Issue: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 on Windows 95 or Windows 98 clients cannot access the web server configuration application using the https://<webserver>:3201/ address due to a Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 SSL bug.
Resolution: Upgrade to Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5.

Netscape Browser

Issue: Access to the web server configuration application which uses SSL security from Microsoft Windows versions of Netscape Navigator 6.x or Netscape Communicator 6.x which uses TLS security by default causes browser to show unsecure access status.
Resolution: Use Netscape 4.7x.or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5

Issue: Accepting a certificate permanently may cause Netscape 4.7x to receive an I/O when accessing the web server configuration application.
Resolution: Accept certificates only for each session.
