gLite 3.0

glite-WMSLB - Update to version 2.4.8-0

Date 22.01.07
Priority Normal

Description


This update fixes various bugs. For the full list of bugs, please see list below.  
 

edg-mkgridmap not robust against xml parsing errors.

  • We now specify ISO-8859-1 as the character encoding, such that the XML parser will not bomb out on finding a character with the high bit set.
  • Added "--cache" option for VDT, which causes the grid-mapfile to be treated as a cache, i.e. it is only rewritten when the contents change. The example edg-mkgridmap.conf file (overwritten by YAIM) has these changes.
  • Removed references to lcg-voms.cern.ch - added new sources for "lhcbsgm" and "lhcbprd"
  • Get "atlas" users from root group instead of "lcg1" subgroup.

WMS

  • The renewal_core library exports calls to perform actual renewal of a proxy using MyProxy and VOMS. It was initialy added to the 3.1 branch. This patch backports the library to 3.0 so it can be easily integrated with FTS. You need to reconfigure myproxy.

lb-server-bones

  • restart server slave also on fatal error when establishing new connection lb-common
  • edg_wll_NotifIdDup() function necessary for fix of #18879

lb-server

  • reload credentials on every new connection
  • restart slave on the false "expired certificate" condition
  • avoid double-free (bug #18879)

lb-logger

  • remove stale .ctl files (bug #16051)
  • automatic quarantine for corrupted files
  • sufficient buffer for long error messages
  • default spool file prefix in /var/tmp (bug #18996)
  • optimizations in IL-server connection management (don't close imediatelly, fast re-connect on server slave preemption)
  • reload credentials unconditionally once per minute

lb-proxy

  • default spool file prefix synchronized with interlogger security-gsoap_plugin:
  • retry connecting transparently on the false "expired certificate" failure

R-GMA

  • Gin, service-tool and standard-tables do not need to be restarted
  • Any user code that uses the rgma python api needs to be restarted such as the job status raw and gridftp logfile parsers.
  • All rgma services will need to be restarted to pick up the new file permissions (not world writable) - service-tool, flexible-archiver, publish-site, gin, glue-archiver(specific archiver configuration for glue)
