>Changes from Release 0.0 to release 0.1 --------------------------------------- You must now say "default attribute = permit" instead of default authorization = permit" when configuring service defaults You must now say "default svc = permit" instead of "default authorization = permit" when configuring service defaults for a user. When authorizing enable requests, the daemon used to prompt for a username which it then ignored. It no longer prompts for a username. Fix recursion issues with service and command lookups. They are now fully recursive c.f. password lookups. Add debugging output to password verification to provide information about expiry processing. Keep track of longest hash chain we create, for fine tuning. Hash all keywords into a keyword table instead of doing linear lookup. Update users_guide to reflect the new configuration syntax. The convert.pl script now generates the new configuration file syntax. Accounting code now honours the "more" flag. Changes from Release 0.1 to release 0.2 --------------------------------------- You can now send a SIGHUP to the daemon to cause it to reinitialize itself and re-read its CONFIG file. There is a new debugging flag devoted to this section of the code. Node types are now pretty-printed in debug output. The conversion script "convert.pl" now will not print out an expires field if it doesn't think the syntax of the field is correct. It also now ignores blank lines in its input files. When doing authorization, the NAS supplied attribute "cmd=" is now correctly ignored. This would previously have caused exec authorization to be denied. Changes from Release 0.2 to release 0.3 --------------------------------------- Warn when not invoked as uid 0. Improved Usage message Add make install target Changes from Release 0.3 to release 0.4 --------------------------------------- Add TAC_PLUS_PIDFILE to makefile per Andy Linton's suggestion. Fix bug in authorization code (protocol field needs to be uppercase) which prevented authorization from working. Changes from Release 0.4 to release 0.5 --------------------------------------- Add pre and post authorization calls to shell commands. Minor bugfixes and code cleanup The "More" bit in accounting records is now honoured. Fix a bug in convert.pl Redo accounting output routines. You can now name the accounting file in the configuration file. Change "svc" to "service" and "proto" to "protocol". You can use any string to name a ppp protocol, even one which doesn't yet exist. Add PPP/LCP special case processing Revised authorization algorithm (see user's guide) Add hex debug flag to allow skipping hex in packet dumps. Update user's guide to reflect changes Changes from Release 0.4 to release 1.0 --------------------------------------- Changed format of syslog messages to make writing scripts easier Added ability to use cleartext passwords instead of DES passwords Updated man page to reflect the fact that we use SIGUSR1 to re-read the config file. SIGHUP is now ignored. Updated the users guide. Changes from Release 1.0 to release 1.1 --------------------------------------- Release 1.1 corresponds to RCS version 1.64 of tac_plus (see tac_plus -v) A typo in the Solaris section of the Makefile has been fixed. The keyword 'des' has been introduced which must be used before all des encrypted passwords. The keyword 'password' has been changed to 'login', so password = f23sac783n has become login = des f23sac783n The convert.pl script knows about these changes. arap and chap now require the keyword 'cleartext' in front of their passwords. A cleartext, per-user, global password can now be configured, which works for login, arap and chap. The users_guide has been updated to include a list of all A/V pairs recognised by IOS 10.3(3) code. Some solaris binaries have been provided as a courtesy. Changes from Release 1.1 to release 2.0 --------------------------------------- generate_password.pl has been removed in favour of a C program generate_passwd.c The version number reported by tac_plus has been changed to agree with the release number. This is why the version has jumped to 2.0 skey was broken by changes made in 1.1. These are now fixed. Documentation has been added for the authorization AV pairs supported by IOS releases 10.3(3) and 11.0. Changes from Release 2.0 to release 2.1 --------------------------------------- There are now Makefile definitions for most of the major platforms. Minor changes to remove some spurious debugging output. A prematurely closed NAS connection will now call the authentication function with the abort flag set, so that it can do any clean up it requires. syslog messages will contain the string "unknown" for usernames and ports which are NULL, so that the messages always contain a fixed number of fields. The authentication code has been rearranged to better reflect the structure of the API. The "default user = permit" directive is still accepted but is now deprecated in favour of "default authorization = permit". A bug in the handling of substring AV pairs which caused the attribute "addr" to erroneously match "addr-pool" has been fixed. Added new files: enable.c generate_passwd.c skey_fn.c New #defines have been added to make it easier to port tacacs+ to new systems. Many more iterations are allowed before an error is declared. Changes from Release 2.1 to release 2.2 --------------------------------------- The expiry field in the shadow file on Solaris machines is now honored, if it exists. Added TAC_PLUS_AUTHEN_SVC_NASI Changes from Release 2.2 to release F3.0.13 ------------------------------------------- NEW REVISION OF THE PROTOCOL corresponding to tacacs+.spec.v1.63.ps (which see) to increase security in the case of compromised keys. Inbound pap logins and outbound pap password are now configurable as separate entries for each principal. Inbound pap logins are now declared by using a "pap = " configuration directive. Outbound PAP is now configured using "opap =". Substantial code rearrangement of authentication routines. Cleartext passwords can be up to 255 characters in length (previously only the first 8 characters were used). default service = permit is now fully recursive and now allows you to say default service = deny in case you belong to a group where the default is to permit. Include backward compatibility with old revision of the protocol (prior to v1.63). post_authorization scripts are now invoked for command authorization. Better sanity checking of authorization and accounting packets. The API has changed slightly. All character string fields in the identity structure are now allocated from the heap and can be up to 255 bytes long (instead of being character arrays of 32 and 64 bytes, as specified in the API document revision 1.30 or earlier). Double quotes can now appear inside strings if they are escaped with a backslash. Added code which limits the number of simultaneous sessions a user can have (see MAXSESS in the user's guide). The accounting "more" bit is gone (It was deprecated from the spec). Hooks are now in so that if you have DES code, you can do ARAP more securely, per the new protocol. The packet read/write routines now handle exceptions more gracefully. Lots of stuff added to the user's guide. If you use a port number other than the default, the pidfile has the port number appended to it, in case you are running multiple daemons. We also now remove the pidfile when the daemon terminates via SIGTERM. user = DEFAULT has been added, deprecating "default authorization = permit". See the user's guide. Arbitrary service types can now be configured in the config file. REARMSIGNAL has been added for those systems which install one-shot signal handlers which need to be rearmed after use (LINUX, HPUX). A \n can now be embedded within strings. Concede defeat. Allow SIGHUP as synonym for SIGUSR1. Avoid symbol buffer overflow by checking the maximum length of a string or token. Make peer DNS lookup on incoming connections optional. Do not close socket when servicing a SIGHUP Fix a bad bug where service/cmd declarations which were not contiguous were parsed but ignored (reported by Gabor Kiss). Patch maxsessions to not count the current port on a different NAS. Add various other fixes to maxsession code. Add timeout to finger read routine. Changes from release F3.0.13 to F4.0.1 ------------------------------------------- Added MSCHAP routines CSCdi37706 exposed a bug in command authorization on the daemon. Change assemble_args so it returns "" if there are no command arguments. Changes from release F4.0.1 to F4.0.2 ------------------------------------------- Fix fseek problem in maxsess code Changes from release F4.0.2 to F4.0.3 ------------------------------------------- Add option for wtmp file logging in accounting Added -DGLIBC for Linux. Support PAP with des encrypted passwords Support a return code of 3 for external authorization scripts
