Adolsign 2.1 is now available with a new lookup directive for conditional fields. This capability allows you to replace values in Active Directory by values in lookup tables defined in the configuration file. A flexible way to support multi-language initials, titles and many more. Example:

field_title( --lookup Norwegian_titles )field_title

in the configuration file:

[Norwegian_titles]
Manager=Sjef
Consultant=Konsulent

 Produces Sjef or Konsulent if title values in AD are manager and consultant respectively (case insensitive). Otherwise, the value itself is used.

WINRPE - A yet another Nagios NRPE Agent for Windows
Version 3.0.3 - April 2011

CHANGES FROM VERSION 3.0.2

 1. BUG FIX - Service doesn't start due to account/group information

    Version 3.0.2 was supposed to solve that problem. However, a glitch
    caused this not to happen. The installer creates and runs the batch
    file "bin/winrpe_make_pwdgrp.cmd" for proper population of etc/passwd
    and etc/group files. That batch file can be reused for repopulation
    of related files in the case service account change.

 2. UPDATE - Default service account is deleted during uninstallation

    User defined service account will not deleted in the case the account
    is in use for other purposes.
   
 3. UPDATE - check_pdm for processor/disk and memory checks.
 
    Winrpe has the same check_pdm as Nagwin uses for its local checks.
    It should now work properly for NRPE checks.
   
 4. UPDATE - Reduction in the installer size

    Perl-based plugins use now a common perl dll.

Public key authentication (PKA) allows a user to connect to the Copssh server without sending a password over the Internet. PKA uses a key pair: a private key and a public key. The private key represents user's  identity and should be kept in a secure place and protected with a passphrase. The corresponding public key is automatically added to the list of public keys accepted by the user on the Copssh server.

Copssh Control Panel is now updated with a management framework for PKA administration:

• Wizard for creation of key pairs: Select key types rsa, dsa and ecdsa with supported keylengths, save private keys with an optional passphrase and add the public key to the list of authorized keys.

• Remove a public key from the list of authorized keys.

• Update comment and/or options fields of a public key

NB! This is just an attempt to make PKA setup easier. If you are a seasoned PKA veteran, you can update the underlying system files directly according to your requirements.

It's been observed that auto-populating the user list from domains with many users is very time consuming and leads to hangs and problems. User Activation Wizard in the Control Panel uses now a text entry field for domain users or if the local host is a domain controller. Auto-populated user list is still the preferred way to select local users on hosts which are not domain controllers.

Copssh 4.1.0 contains also the security patch for OpenSSL 0.9.8r.

Adolsign supports now multiple signatures with multiple attributes by using the configuration file adolsign.config. In addition, you can filter signatures based on group membership or values in AD. Have a look at examples at the end this blog.

Adolsign can now copy not only simple files but directories by the directive --addfile.

Command line switches for default signatures don't take an argument anymore. They apply only for the signature specified in command line.

By specifying the new option --utf8, you will be able to instruct Adolsign  to use UTF-8 (Unicode) decoding/encoding during template processing.

Adolsign.config examples:

adolsign.config
Description

[Signature corporate]
Group=Domain Users
Vcard=1
NewDefault=1
ReplyDefault=1
AddFile=corporate.png
AddFile=corporate.css

•  Process template files only if the user is member of Domain Users group. You can specify multiple groups. Adolsign will proceed if the user is member of at least one group.
•  Produce a Vcard
• This signature is default for new and reply messages
• Copy files corporate.png and corporate.css from the directory where Adolsign is started from.

[Signature \\SRV\netlogon\CompanyX]
field_company=CompanyX
Vcard=0
NewDefault=0
ReplyDefault=0
AddFile=CX-images
AddFile=CX.css

• Process only if AD-value for company name contains CompanyX. Comparisons are based on regular expressions and  case-sensitive. You can specify AD-fields multiple times, even the same attribute!
•  Don't produce a Vcard
• This signature is not a default one for new and reply messages
• Copy directory CX-images and CX .css from \\SRV\netlogon as well

OpenSSH 5.7 introduces support for Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH) and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same equivalent symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.

scp has a new -3 option: Copies between two remote hosts are transferred through the local host.  Without this option the data is copied directly between the two remote hosts.

ECDSA host keys are created during installation.

See OpenSSH 5.7 release notes  for more information.
