Last Update: 10-FEB-2011 Operating System: Linux, Solaris, Tru64, Windows Component: PMDF Shared Library Base Level Required: PMDF V6.5 Other Requirements: tcp_smtp_server Platform Subdirectory File(s) to download -------- ------------ -------------------- Linux linux/lib/ libpmdf_smtp.tar Solaris SPARC solaris-sparc/lib/ libpmdf_smtp.tar Solaris x86 solaris-x86/lib/ libpmdf_smtp.tar Tru64 osf/lib/ libpmdf_smtp.tar Windows windows/ pmdf_65_x7.exe General info ------------ You will need to have a License PAK with a release date after the date of PMDFSHR.EXE or libpmdf.so to run PMDF. Note that this may apply to other images as well. Patches may be obtained from the anonymous FTP account on ftp.pmdf.process.com. Use FTP to connect to the host ftp.pmdf.process.com and login as the user anonymous. Use your e-mail address as the login password. Move to the pmdf_65_patches subdirectory: ftp> cd pmdf_65_patches Patches will be located in platform-specific sub-trees, as follows: Platform Subdirectory -------- ------------ Linux linux Solaris/SPARC solaris-sparc Solaris/x86 solaris-x86 Tru64 osf Windows windows When FTPing images, be sure to FTP them as binary. Before retrieving such an image with the GET command, be sure to put your FTP into binary mode with a command such as TYPE IMAGE or TYPE BINARY. Change history -------------- IMPORTANT: Starting with ident V6.4-x4, libpmdf.so *requires* an updated tcp_smtp_server image (due to a previous change for PMAS support). If libpmdf.so is installed without the updated tcp_smtp_server, crashes will result. 10-FEB-2011 (ident V6.5-x6) ** IMPORTANT ** Fixed a security vulnerability with the SMTP, POP, and IMAP protocols when TLS is used. (d/e 11113) Addresses the STARTTLS vulnerability in CERT bulletin CVE-2011-0411 (see http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/555316). 9-DEC-2010 (ident V6.5-x5) Fixed a problem with the defragment channel where messages could get stuck in the channel without being processed. (D/E 11092) 9-DEC-2010 (ident V6.5-x5) Added code to prevent infinite loops of inline directory channel lookups. Once the maximum (10 iterations) is reached, the message will be enqueued to the directory channel itself for further processing. (D/E 9761) 4-AUG-2010 (ident V6.4-x4) [Unix only] This image, together with other database-related images, fixes problems with accessing the various PBL databases. (D/E 11056) 25-JUN-2010 (ident V6.5-x2) Fixed a problem with the parsing of ranges in patterns in mapping table entries, for example $[A-Z]. (D/E 11034) 25-JUN-2010 (ident V6.5-x2) Added support to the POPPROXY authentication source in the SECURITY.CNF file for using TLS, and for specifying more than one server. To use multiple servers, specify up to three comma-separated server:port pairs on the SERVER option in the [AUTH_SOURCE=POPPROXY] section. To use TLS, add to the [AUTH_SOURCE=POPPROXY] section TLS_MODE=1. It will use port 995 as the default if no port is specified with the server name(s). Note that the port specified must be a dedicated TLS port as POPPROXY will not do STARTTLS to the stardard POP port. (D/E 10904) Installation ------------ Linux, Solaris, Tru64 Before installing a new libpmdf.so, issue the following command: # pmdf shutdown Failure to issue the above command could result in the current processes not recognizing commands (i.e. restart and shutdown) with the new libpmdf.so in place. Download the libpmdf_smtp.tar file. Use 'tar' to unpack the tar file into files libpmdf.so.Z and tcp_smtp_server. Use 'uncompress' on libpmdf.so.Z to get the libpmdf.so library. To install the new shared library, place it into the /pmdf/lib/ directory and then execute the following commands: # chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so # chmod 755 /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so To install the new SMTP server, place the tcp_smtp_server image into the /pmdf/bin/ directory, and execute the following commands: # chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/bin/tcp_smtp_server # chmod 755 /pmdf/bin/tcp_smtp_server In some cases new versions of libpmdf.so may alter the format of compiled configurations. When this happens recompilation is also necessary: # pmdf cnbuild Failure to recompile the configuration after installing new versions of libpmdf.so may lead to "compiled configuration version mismatch" errors. Next, be sure to start PMDF by issuing the following command: # pmdf startup Windows Follow the PMDF Installation Guide for Windows platforms to install the V6.5-x7 kit.
