RE: runtime requirements for IISCosign




Brett,


You can download the zipped source for IISCosign and libsnet here:<http://cowboybebop.staff.itd.umich.edu/iiscosign/> It's at the bottom of the page. There are VS 6.0 and VS.NET project files included.

For MS XML you'll need to install the SDK from Microsoft. <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3144b72b-b4f2-46d
a-b4b6-c5d7485f2b42&DisplayLang=en> msxml.msi is the file you'll be interested in.


As Wes said, we are aware of the updates for OpenSSL. The next release of IISCoSign will also be built against the updated version of OpenSSL. (I've already done this, and it works. yay!)

We will get both a Windows-friendly libsnet (*nix-happy version available here <http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libsnet/>) and most likely the Installshield files into CVS. I can't give a timeline, but will say soon since interest in the IISCosign source code has increased dramatically in recent days. It will all be sorted out!

Very sorry the Installshield 7 files aren't compatible. We aren't committed to using Installshield 7. It was available and easy to learn. :) The work that the installer does is pretty trivial so making a new installer wouldn't require too much effort. If you'd like, I could make a list of the things the installer is taking care of for admins. Also, if you do not want to 'reinvent the wheel' I can certainly incorporate any changes or suggestions you have.

Let me know if I forgot anything!

Hi Jarod,

thanks for that... I am using the InstallShield Multiplatform 5, which
appears not to like the files I got from you :(

Also, I am trying to compile the CoSign IIS project, which relies on the
libsnet. Where can I get the project for this? I see it is included in the
cosign server source but I am wondering if there is the VS .net 2003 (or
equiv) project files I can use :) - perhaps these could also be included
in the cosign CVS to make a compilation easier??

Is there anything else I am going to need to compile it. I have already
compiled the openssl for Win32, what about the MS XML thingy?

Also, you may or may not know the security bulletin release for OpenSSL
suggesting upgrading to OpenSSL 0.9.7d (exploits I think)

Thanks for your help.

Brett

Brett,


Sorry for the delayed response.  I was out sick for a few days and am
working through my e-mail in reverse chronological order. :)

I did a quick zip of the Installshield Project 7 files.  So if anything
is  missing, please let me know.  You (or anyone else) can grab them from
here  for now.  <http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jarod/projects/cosign/>

MD5 sum: 37bc174c4c9aab2fb5cbfbe7a8f80a14

Note there are two items that will be unzipped.  One is the actual
Installshield project the other is a Visual Studio .NET project.  The
latter is just a custom dialog box I put together since Installshield
didn't quite provide the customizable dialog I thought would be useful.
You'll also probably want the contents of the latest IISCosign installer
itself.  (The IS project undoubtedly points to files in directories that
aren't on your machine.)

I'll work on getting this into CVS to make this easier in the future.
Any  critiques, updates, or suggestions are appreciated!
