Cosign 1.7.0 Released
The Cosign Team is pleased to announce the availability of version
1.7.0 of cosign [ MD5 f4cece2c7b8b642c8135e90da7c4d422] .
Changelog at http://www.umich.edu/~umweb/software/cosign/changelog.txt
Changes:
config: must specify path to apxs to build either filter, no default.
common: first pass at rate logging, see README and man pages
cgi: issue a new login cookie if the one presented is more than
24 hours old.
cgi: looping page a redirect now instead of just an error.
cgi: check for sql injection prior to username query.
cgi: less verbose logging, more sumamries.
daemon: default log facility now daemon.
daemon: more precise logging, supression of common errors.
daemon/monster: override syslog facility and level from cmd line.
filter: all settings configureable thorough runtime directives.
filter: new directive to delimit authN optional, which allows you
to push authN deicsions back into the application.
filter: issue a new service cookie if the one presented is more than
24 hours old.
html: new looping page, a redirect from the cgi, will allow you to
capture the browser info ( in access logs ) for clients
who are looping.
Thanks to Phil Pishioneri from Penn State University for some minor bug
fixes.
FYI: Cosign 1.8.0, which will mostly be Brett Lomas' (University of
Auckland) changes to allow runtime configuration of the cgi and daemon
from a single configuration file, will be released as soon as we get it
reviewed and checked in. The only planned filter change is to allow
CosignProtected On/Off in .htaccess files. Those of you who do not like
to upgrade often and/or really want the runtime configuration for the
cgi and daemon are advised to consider waiting.
