WAPT-1.8.1-6742 (2020-02-12)¶

(hash 80dbdbe7)

Major changes¶

waptconsole: Added a page to show packages install status summary (merge) of all selected hosts, grouped by package, version, install status, with count of hosts;

Context menu allow to apply selectively the pending actions. On enterprise, one can apply safely the updates (only packages for which there is no running process on client side);

Prevent users from saving a host package if targeted host(s) do not accept their personal certificate. (Checked on waptconsole when editing / mass updating host packages, and on server when uploding packages);

The personal certificate file .crt must contain at first the personal certificate, followed by the issuer CA certificates, so that wapt can rebuild the certificate chain and check intersection with host’s trusted certificates;

Important note about SSL client side authentication¶

In your nginx configuration, be sure to reset the headers X-Ssl-Authenticated and X-Ssl-Client-DN as waptserver trusts these headers if ssl cient side auth is enabled in waptserver.ini;

If SSL client side auth is setup these headers can be populated by proxy_set_header with result of ssl_verify_client as explained in ./wapt-security/security-configuration-certificate-authentication.html#enabling-client-side-certificate-authentication;

Fixes and detailed changelog¶

Security fix: update waitress module to 1.4.3 (CVE-2020-5236);
Security fix: blank X-Ssl* headers in default nginx templates;
Fix: regression: kerberos register_host did not work anymore;
On server, :file:’<repository root>/wapt/ssl’ dir is moved automatically on winsetup / postconf to (per default) :file:’<repository root>/ssl’, a /ssl location is added;

This /ssl should be accessible from clients at the location specified by the server parameter clients_signing_crl_url (in waptserver.ini);

Improved logs readability. Log count of used DB connections from pool on waptserver to troubleshoot DB connection issues. Log level can be specified by subcomponent with loglevel_waptcore, loglevel_waptserver, loglevel_waptserver.app, loglevel_waptws, loglevel_waptdb defined in waptserver.ini;
Reworked explicit DB Open/close on waptserver to not get a DB connection from pool if not useful. It prevents exhaustion of DB connections;
waptwinsetup: don’t create unused directories wapt-group and waptserverlog;
Added .msu and .msix extensions for Package wizard setup file dialog;
Fallback with os._exit(10) for waptservice restart. Added a handler in nssm.exe configuration to honor the restart;
Increased waitress threads to 10 on waptservice;
Lowered the default number of pooled DB connections (db_max_connections) to 90, to be lower than postgresql default of 100;
waptserver: allow kerberos or ssl auth check in waptserver only if enabled in waptserver.ini config file;
waptconsole: Allow update of host package only if user certificate is actually allowed on the host (based on last update of host status in database);
waptconsole / build waptagent: checkbox to specify to include or not non certificate authority certificates in build. The normal setup would be to uncheck this, to not deploy non CA certificates, on wapt root CA;
[IMP] Add and option to disable automatic hiding of panels…
[IMP] Add explicit AllowUnauthenticatedRegistration task to waptserversetup windows
waptsetup: Remove explicit VCRedistNeedsInstall task. Use /VCRedistInstall=(0/1) if you need to force install or force not install vcredist VC_2008_SP1_MFC_SEC_UPD_REDIST_X86;
[FIX] wapt-get.exe: use wapt-get.ini for :command:’scan-packages’ and :command:’update-packages’ wapt-get actions;
[FIX] wapt-get: auth asked when checking if server is available (ping) and client ssl auth is enabled;
[IMP] WAPT client: if client ssl auth failed with http error 400, retry without ssl auth to be able to ask for new certificate signing;
[FIX] waptserver register behavior: revert over rev 6641: sign host certificate if an authenticated user is provided or data is signed with a key which can be verified by existing certificate in database for this host uuid;
[IMP] waptserver register behavior: when receiving 401 from server when registering, retry registering without ssl auth;
[IMP] wapt client: be sure to have proper host private key saved on disk when receiving signed certificate from server;
[IMP] waptconsole: advanced filters for selected host packages status. Filter on Install status and Section + keyword. Pending button to show only pending installations / removes;
[ADD] wapt-get make-template / edit package: Add .vscode directory. Add template project for vscode;
[FIX] waptconsole: fix ssl auth for mass package dependencies / conflicts updates;

[IMP] use windows_version_registry for get_os_version on windows;
[IMP] backport host_capabilities.os from master
[FIX] for make-template for malformed .exe installer;
[ADD] automatic maintenance of a CSR for client auth certificates signed by server:
default CSR lifetime to 30 days;
check renewal of client cert CSR every hour;
added a parameter for the next update time of crl;
added clients_signing_crl_url, clients_signing_crl_days, known_certificates_folder waptserver parameters;
added a /ssl location in nginx templates;
added crl_urls in client auth signed certificates;
added a scheduled task to renew server side crl;
added clients_signing_crl waptserver parameter to add client cert to server crl when host is unregistered;
added revoke_cert method to SSLCRL class;
added a authorityKeyIdentifier to the client auth CSR;
force restart if windows task is broken;
waptservice: use sys._exit(10) to ask nssm to restart service in case of unhandled exception in waptservice (loops, etc.);
wapt client: don’t log / store into db Wapt.runstatus if not changed;
waptserver postconf: fix for rights on some wapt directories;
Add mutual conflicts to deb/rpm packages for waptagent/waptserver to avoid simultaneous install;

WAPT-1.8.0-6641 (2020-01-24)¶

(hash 3dbb3de8)

Major changes¶

[ADD] client Agent for Linux Debian 8, 9 , 10, Linux Centos 7, Ubuntu 18, 19 and MacOS. The packages are named wapt-agent and available in https://wapt.tranquil.it/wapt/releases/latest/;
[IMP] repository access rules defined in waptconsole. Depending of client IP, site, computername, one can define which secondary repository URL to use (Enterprise only);

As a consequence, the DNS query method (with SRV records) is no more supported for repositories

[IMP] the package and signature process has been changed to be compatible with python3. Serialization of dict is now sorted by key alphabetically to be deterministic across python versions. WAPT agents prior to version 1.7.1 will not be able to use new packages. (see git hash SHA-1: f571e55594617b43ed83003faeef4911474a84db);
[NEW] a WAPT agent can now be declared as a secondary remote repository. Integrated syncing with main server repository is handled automatically. (Enterprise only);
[NEW] waptconsole can now run without elevated privileges. The build of waptagent / waptupgrade package are done in a temporary directory. When editing a package from waptconsole, :program:`PyScripter`should be launched with elevated privileges;

Note

One could deploy the agent with GPO without actually rebuilding a waptagent. Command line options are available on stock waptsetup-tis.exe to configure repo url (/repo_url=), server url (/wapt_server=), server certificate bundle location (/CopyServersTrustedCA=), packages certificates checking (/CopyPackagesTrustedCA=), /use_random_uuid, /StartPackages, /append_host_profiles, /DisableHiberBoot, /waptaudit_task_period;

Some options are still missing and may be added in a future release;

[IMP] package filename now includes a hash of package content to make it easier to check if download is complete and if package has been scanned (improved speed for large number of packages);
[SEC] the WAPT admin password must be regenerated (with postconf); if it is not pbkdf2 based. See in your waptserver.ini file, wapt_password must start with $pbkdf2-;

Fixes and detailed changelog¶

[SEC] waptagent can optionally be digitally signed, if (1) Microsoft signtool.exe is present in <wapt>utils` and (2) if there is a pkcs#12 :mimetype:.p12` file with the same name as the personal certificate .crt file, and (3) the certificate is encrypted with the same password;
[IMP] wapt-get.py can be run on linux and macos in addition to windows;
[IMP] waptconsole host’s packages status reporting: now displays current version with NEED-UPGRADE, NEED-REMOVE, ERROR status and future version with NEED-INSTALL status;

The status is stored in server’s DB HostPackagesStatus so it can be queried for reporting;

[IMP] setuphelpers: there now different setuphelpers for each operating system family;
[ADD] waptconsole: added an action to safely trigger upgrades on remote hosts only if associated processes (impacted_process control attribute) are not running, to avoid disturbing users (Enterprise only);
[ADD] wapt-get --service upgrade: added handling of --force, --notify_server_on_start=0/1, notify_server_on_finish=0/1 switches;
[IMP] package signature’s date is now taken in account when comparing packages;
[ADD] host_ad_site key in [global] in wapt-get.ini to define a fake Active Directory site for the host;
[ADD] waptconsole / packages grid: if multiple packages are selected, the associated show clients grid shows the status of packages for all selected clients (Enterprise only);
[ADD] waptagent build: added checkbox to enable repository rules lookup when installing agent (Enterprise only);
[ADD] waptconsole / import packages: don’t reimport existing dependencies. Checkbox to disable import of dependencies;
[IMP] wapt-scanpackages speed optimizations: don’t re-extract certificates and icon for skipped package entries. use md5 from filename if supplied when scanning.
[FIX] waptexit: fix arguments to waptexit for only_if_not_process_running and install_wua_updates (bool);
[FIX] waptagent / waptwua fix wapt wua enabled setting reset to False when upgrading with waptagent and enabled=don’t touch;
[FIX] waptserver / waptwua repository: all cabs files are now in root directory instead of microsoft original file tree. The files are moved when upgrading to 1.8;
[IMP] waptupgrade package: increment build number if building a new waptagent of the same main wapt version;
[NEW] waptserver parameter trusted_signers_certificates_folder:

Path to trusted signers certificate directory. If defined, only packages signed by this trusted CA are accepted on the server when uploading through server;
[NEW] waptserver parameter remote_repo_support: if true, a task is scheduled to scan repositories (wapt, waptwua, wapt-hosts) that creates a sync.json file for remote secondary repositories;
[IMP] when building waptagent, don’t include non CA packages certificates by default in waptagent. A checkbox is available to still enable non CA certificates to be scanned and added;
[IMP] when building waptagent, one can add or remove certificates in the grid with Ctrl+Del or drag and drop;
[FIX] waptconsole / host packages status grid: fixed F5 refresh;
[IMP] waptconsole / build agent: build an enterprise agent even if no valid licence (Enterprise only);
[FIX] forced_update_on control attribute: don’t take into account for next_update_on if in the past;
[IMP] waptconsole: try to accept waptserver password with non ASCII characters;
[REMOVED] waptstarter: remove socle from default host profile;
[IMP] waptagent build: rework of server certificate path relocation when building / installing;
[SEC] don’t sign agent certificate if no valid human authentication (admin, passwd or ldap) or kerberos authentication has been provided:
be explicit on authentication methods;
store registration authentication method in db only if valid human authentication or kerberos authentication has been provided;
when registering, be sure we trust an already signed certificate with CN matching the host;
store the signed host certificate in server DB on proper registration;
[IMP] some syntax preparation work for future python3;
[IMP] some preparation work for detailed ACL handling (Enterprise only);
[FIX] don’t enable client ssl auth by default in waptserver as nginx reverse proxy server is perhaps misconfigured;

def audit() hook function to add into package’s setup.py. By default, check uninstall key presence in registry:
wapt-get audit;
wapt-get -S audit;
wapt-get audit <packagename>;
right click in waptconsole on machines or installed packages/ Audit package;
synthetic audit status for each machine;
for each installed package: last_audit_status, last_audit_on, last_audit_output, next_audit_on;
scheduled globally with wapt-get.ini parameter [global]:

waptaudit_task_period = 4h or in package’s control file:

audit_schedule = 1d

WAPT-1.6.2.2 (2018-07-16)¶

Known issues¶

PostgreSQL 9.6 is required for WAPT WUA tech preview (Debian Jessie not supported);
the authentication of client connections to the WAPT websockets server is not compatible with pre-1.6.2 wapt clients. During migration, if you want to keep the connection with clients, you have to disable the authentication with the parameter: allow_unauthenticated_connect = 0 in server’s configuration file waptserver.ini. When all clients have migrated, this can be removed;

New¶

[NEW] wizard for the initial configuration of waptserver on Windows;

additional page in WAPTconsole host inventory for Windows updates status reported (HostWsus model);
additional page in WAPTconsole for the consolidated view of all updates reported by hosts (WsusUpdates model);
periodic task on server to check and download newer version of wsusscan2 cab file from Microsoft (daemon/ service wapttasks);
periodic Task on server to download missing windows updates files as reported by Windows client after scan:

missing files are downloaded if one of the client should install it and has not yet a copy in its local windows update cache;
downloads are logged in WsusDownloadTasks model;

Changes¶

There is now some additional support for packages localization.

In Package control file, the description_fr, description_en, description_de, description_pl, description_es can be used to give description in respective french, english, german, polish languages.

If not set, the base description is used.

WAPTconsole¶

WAPT-1.5.1.18 rc1 (2018-02-27)¶

Global architecture¶

There is a significant internal change on how python libraries are managed inside WAPT. This has implications on the way python scripts are launched. This change is only relevant for peoples launching WAPT processes manually.

We have removed the (not clean) sys.path manipulations inside wapt python scripts sources. The consequence is that all python scripts must be run with prior setting PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH pointing to WAPT home directory (/opt/wapt on Linux).

Failing to do so results in scripts claiming that libraries are missing.

On Linux waptserver, libs are now in the default /opt/wapt/lib/python2.7 location instead of using non standard former one.

[IMP] WAPT has its own full python environment for libraries, even when debugging. Before, system wide python27 installation was needed for PyScripter to run.

Now, PyScripter can be started with a special batch file waptpyscripter.bat which sets the environment variables for python (PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH) and run PyScripter with python dll path set to wapt own copy.

[NEW] Command line scripts with proper environment:
wapt-serverpostconf on Linux server to start server postconf.py
wapt-scanpackages
wapt-signpackages
[NEW] debugging commandline tools which setup python environment properly before running the python script.py before running the python script:
to debug waptservice, launch in cmd as admin: runwaptservice.bat;
to debug waptserver, launch in cmd: runwaptserver.bat or under linux: runwaptserver.sh;
to launch PyScripter without the need for local system wide python27 install, run waptpyscripter.bat;

WAPT client¶

[IMP] Add local wapt-get.ini settings packages_whitelist and packages_blacklist to restrict accepted packages from repository based on their package’s name;
[IMP] More detailed reporting off host’s repositories configuration (now includes dnsdomain, proxy, and list of trusted certificates);
[FIX] fixed display in the Windows task bar of the login window (to allow in particular the autofill of the password by password managers); waptagent failing to compile if keys/ certificates already exist but the certificate had been removed from C:\wapt\ssl;
[NEW] Handle AD organizational unit packages (Enterprise edition)
[IMP] Fallback to basic auth when a host is registering on waptserver if kerberos is enabled but authentication fails.
[IMP] for wapt-get.exe, allow to designate configuration wapt-get.ini file with –config option with base name of user waptconsole ini file (without ini extension) instead of full path. Handy when switching between several configurations. Same behavior as for waptconsole. Example:

wapt-get -c site3 build-upload c:\waptdev\test-7zip-wapt;

[FIX] Be sure to not loop for ever in websockets retry loop if something is wrong in host waptserver or websocket configuration.
[FIX] Update PyScripter project template to use project directory as parameter for debug actions, and use relative paths for filenames.
[FIX] incorrect package version comparison. Return True when comparing 1.2-1 to 1.2.1-3 (note: this is not homogeneous with the Version() class behavior. todo: merge both);
[FIX] waptsetup: register and update must be launched with elevated privileges. So remove runasoriginaluser option.
[NEW] Introduced attributes target_os and impacted_process for package’s control file. They are not yet taken in account.
[NEW] Introduced machinery to handle X509 client certificates authentication for repositories and waptserver (specially for public servers);
[NEW] Introduced classes to generate X509 CRL;

Setuphelpers¶

[UPD] setuphelpers.removetree: Try to remove readonly flag when remove_tree reach a Access Denied error;
[FIX] unicode handling in shell startup shortcuts;
[IMP] waptutils.wget can check sha1 or sh256 hashes in addition to md5, and can cache and resume partial downloads;

WAPT Console¶

[NEW] action in WAPTconsole to plan in near future a restart of waptservice on selected hosts;
[IMP] mass host update/upgrade in waptconsole actions are now launched in single shot instead of one host at a time;
[NEW] allow to force a host_dn in wapt-get.ini when host is not in a domain (Enterprise only);
[NEW] added timeout parameter for setuphelpers service_start, service_stop and service_restart;
[IMP] group filter list box is now editable, and one can type a partial group match and press enter to filter on all matching groups. Separator is comma (,). Handle * at the end of search to find all occurrences even if one group matches exactly;

WAPT Server¶

[ADD] bat script migrate-hosts.bat to set environment for migrate-hosts.py;
[ADD] trigger_action.py script to trigger action on pre 1.5 hosts with reachable 8088 waptservice port from 1.5 server;
[FIX] registration_auth_user reset to None when reusing host certificate for re-register;
[IMP] removed unnecessary dependencies krb5-user, msktutil, python-psutil for waptserver package;
[IMP] increase client_max_body_size for http post on nginx for large update/ upgrade trigger:
fix signature_clockskew waptserver config parameter not taken in account;
unified loggers for server;
have waptserver ask wapt clients to update status using websockets if websocket connection is up but database is not aware of given SID (case where waptserver is restarted but nginx is kept up, and restart of waptserver service is fast enough to not trigger a reconnection of the clients);
[FIX] disable proxy for migrate-hosts;

Known issues¶

waptservice: if a system account level http proxy is defined in registry on the windows host, websocket client library tries to use it and fails to connect to the server. Workaround: make an exception for waptserver;
waptconsole: if a http proxy is defined in waptconsole.ini, section [global], key http_proxy, it is used by the waptconsole even if setting use_proxy_for_xxx is False Workround: set http_proxy to an empty string in waptconsole.ini;
when using a not self-signed personal certificate, depending of th issuer, the certificate file <private_dir>mine_cert.crt can contain the full chain (own certificate, intermediate CA, and root CA). When waptconsole asks if the certificate should be put in authorized client certificate directory (<wapt-dir>ssl), the full crt file is copied as this. This means that all certificates in crt file are authorized, and not only the personal one. This is perhaps not desired;

Workaround: check if the personal pem encoded crt file contains the full certificates chain. If this is the case, copy in <wapt-dir>ssl only the parts of the PEM file matching the certificates you want to trust;
SNI is not properly handled by waptconsole code, leading to incorrect error about certificate validation on https server with virtual hosts;
Certificates CSR updates (periodical signature, …) must be managed manually using tools like easy-rsa. Only CSR accessible by a URL are supported;
proxies are not supported on the server, so CRL can not be updated properly (as far as Distribution Point is defined in certificates) if the server has no direct http access to the distribution points;
https certificates are verified on the clients using the bundle defined by the verify_cert ini settings. If this setting is simply True, the bundle supplied with python libraries is used to check issuers. This bundle is not updated unless WAPT is upgraded, so new issuers or no more trusted issuers are taken in account only at this point. So it is better to deploy your own CA bundle along with wapt and define the verify_cert path.
for 1.5.1.18 rc1, on the linux server, there are broken symbolic links in lib/python2.7 folder. Next RC does not exhibit this problem;

WAPT-1.5.1.14 (2018-01-09)¶

[NEW] Historize in wapt_localstatus PostgreSQL table the dependencies and conflicts of installed packages (to provide an easy way to warn when conflicting package will be installed or should be removed);
[FIX] load fill certificate chain from host packages to check control (as it is the case for other types of packages);
[SEC] regression: check host package control signature right after downloading (it is checked too when starting install);
[FIX] regression: don’t install host package if version is lower than installed one;
[FIX] don’t raise an exception during session-setup if package has no setup.py;

WAPT Client¶

[FIX] intermediate CA pinning: Allow to deploy intermediate CA as authorized package CA without root CA (segragation of rules between entities);
[FIX] old style print statement (without parentheses) raising an error in setup-session or uninstall setup.py functions;

setuphelpers/ libraries¶

[IMP] Add cache_dir parameter to wget function;
[IMP] renamed cabundle parameter to trusted_bundle;
[NEW] Add python methods to create certificate from CSR;

WAPT Console¶

[FIX] regression: check existing host package signature before editing it;

WAPT Server¶

[FIX] Force waptserver DB structure upgrade at each server startup;
[ADD] db_connect_timeout parameter for pool of waptserver DB connections;
[NEW] Store depends and conflicts attributes in waptserver HostPackagesStatus PotsgreSQL table;

Known issues¶

certificates CSR updates (periodical signature, …) must be managed manually using tools like easy-rsa. Only CSR accessible by a URL are supported;

WAPT-1.5.1.13 (2018-01-03)¶

Quelques fallback pour permettre l’utilisation de la console WAPT sous Wine
Ebauche architecture plugins dans waptconsole.
Interface GUI pour entrer les mots de passe dans PyScripter

WAPT-1.5.1.5 (2017-11-16)¶

Architecture globale¶

[NEW] the host packages are now named with the BIOS UUID of the machine instead of the FQDN (it is possible to use the FQDN as the UUID with the parameter use_fqdn_as_uuid but it may create duplicates in the console);
le service waptservice écoute sur l’adresse de loopback, port 8088 et non plus sur toutes les interfaces. Cela réduit la surface d’attaque potentielle si un attaquant spoofe l’adresse IP du serveur WAPT;
le service waptservice crée au démarrage une connexion Websockets (Socket.IO) vers le serveur pour permettre à la console de déclencher les Update/ Upgrade / Install/ Remove ; On ne pass plus par le port 8088 du service;
[NEW] the Websocket requests from the WAPT console to the WAPT agents are now signed with the key of the Administrator. Before, security relied on source IP restriction and the validation of the Administrator’s login/ password;
la base de données d’inventaire est maintenant une base PostgreSQL en remplacement de MongoDB. Cela facilite le requêtage pour un reporting personnalisé, le langage SQL étant mieux connu des administrateurs système;
l’affichage dans la console d’un grand nombre de machines a été amélioré. L’affichage de plusieurs milliers de machines n’est plus un problème;
modifier la configuration d’un grand nombre de machines a été rendu largement plus performant;
la reprise d’un téléchargement partiel de paquet est maintenant possible (interruption lors de l’arrêt …);
les clés privées doivent maintenant obligatoirement être protégées avec un mot de passe;

Console WAPT¶

passage en Websockets;
gestion des écrans de haute résolution (ex: écrans 4k);
modernisation des jeux d’icônes dans la console;
changement à la volée de la description du poste;
option pour changer le mot de passe d’une clé;

Format des paquets¶

la présence du fichier setup.py est optionnelle (plus particulièrement, il n’est pas nécessaire pour les paquets groupes et machines qui ne contiennent que des dépendances);
[NEW] if the package contains a setup.py file, it MUST be signed with a Code Signing certificate, otherwise the package WILL NOT be installed. The roles are now differenciated between the role of the Package Deployer (allowed to sign group and host packages) and the role of Package Developer (allowed to sign group, host AND base packages);
lors de la signature du paquet, le certificat du signataire est ajouté dans le paquet (WAPT/certificate.crt);
le fichier manifest est renommé manifest.sha256 au lieu de manifest.sha1 et signature.sha256 au lieu de signature;
ajout des attributs suivants au fichier control:
signed_attributes: pour la fiabilité de la vérification;
min_wapt_version: le paquet est ignoré (et ne s’installe pas) si wapt n’est pas au moins à cette version;
installed_size: le paquet ne s’installe pas s’il n’y a pas au moins cet espace disponible sur le disque système;
max_os_version: le paquet est ignoré si Windows a une version supérieure à cet attribut;
min_os_version: le paquet est ignoré si Windows a une version inférieure à cet attribut;
maturity: PROD, PREPROD, TEST;
locale; fr, en, etc ;

Configuration générale des agents¶

section explicite [wapt-host] pour le dépôt des paquets machines sinon l’url est déduite de <repo_url>+’-host’;
section explicite [wapt] pour le dépôt principal, sinon <repo_url> est pris en compte;

possibilité d’utiliser le FQDN comme UUID au lieu de l’UUID du Bios. (paramètre use_fqdn_as_uuid) (ou uuid forcé: paramètre forced_uuid);
lorsqu’on signe, on désigne le signataire par son certificat et non sa clé privée. La clé privée est recherchée par wapt dans le même répertoire que le certificat personnel. On incite à avoir un certificat par personne agissant sur WAPT;
possibilité de prendre en compte la révocation de certificats (la CSR est fournie aux poste lors de l’update, dans le fichier Packages);
re-signature possible sous Linux avec la commande wapt-signpackage.py;
installation dans Program Files(x86) par défaut;

WAPT-1.4.0 (2017-05-05)¶

pas de release officielle;
[NEW] migration sur la base PostgreSQL à la place de MongoDB;

WAPT-1.3.13 (2017-07-25)¶

Security fix¶

régression: Package files content check was skipped if signature of manifest and Packages index file checksum was ok. This regression affects all 1.3.12 releases, but not WAPT <= 1.3.9 and >= upcoming 1.5. In order to exploit this bug, one would need to tamper the Packages files either through a MITM (if you do not have valid https certificate check) or a root access on the WAPT server.

Other changes¶

compatibility with packages signed with upcoming WAPT 1.5. With WAPT 1.5, package are signed with sha256 hashes. An option allows to sign them with sha1 too so that they can be used with WAPT 1.3 without signing them again.
new package certificate for Tranquil IT packages. previous certificate for package on store.wapt.fr has expired. all packages on store.wapt.fr has been signed again with new key / certificate with both sha1 and sha256 hashes, and WAPT 1.5 signature style (control data is signed as well as files)
fix for local GPO add_shutdown_script() function (thanks jf-guillou!)
fix for waptsetup.exe postinstall actions (update / register) when running waptsetup.exe installer without elevated privileges: added runascurrentuser flag
remove needless python libraries to make install package slimmer

WAPT 1.3.12.13 (2017-06-26)¶

[NEW] Option dans le menu Outils ou par drag drop dans l’onglet dépôt privé;
[NEW] Découverte des options silencieuses;

Sinon, les certificats autorisés sont ceux dans C:\wapt\ssl;
[NEW] Vérification optionnelle du certificat https pour les dépôts extérieurs dans la console;
[NEW] Vérification de la signature des paquets machines, groupes et logiciels avant leur modification dans la console ou dans PyScripter;

[NEW] get_profile_path;
[NEW] wua_agent_version;
[NEW] local_admins;
[NEW] local_group_memberships;
[NEW] local_group_members;

Modified helpers¶

[FIX] change default wapt templates URL to https://store.wapt.fr/wapt;
[FIX] when upgrading, (full waptagent.exe install) remove stalled waptagent.exe installs;

WAPT 1.3.8.2 (2016-11-18)¶

Security¶

[SEC] Fix inheritance of rights on wapt root folder for Windows 10 during setup when installed in C:\wapt. On Windows 10, cacls.exe does not work and does not remove “Authenticated Users” from C:\wapt. cacls.exe has been replaced by icacls.exe:
on pre-wapt 1.3.7 systems, you can fix this by running the following command, or upgrade to wapt 1.3.8 (you may check icacls.exe c:wapt /inheritance:r)
This can be achieved with a GPO, or a wapt package
[IMP] in next versions of WAPT, the default install path of wapt will be changed from root folder C:\wapt to a more standard C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt.
[IMP] By default, waptsetup.exe / waptsetup-tis.exe do not distribute certificates to avoid to deploy directly packages from Tranquil IT. waptagent.exe by default distributes the certificates that are installed on the mangement desktop creating the waptagent.

Core changes¶

[IMP] The database structure has changed between 1.3.8 and 1.3.8.2 to include additional attributes from packages: signer, signer_fingerprint, locale, and maturity. signer and signer_fingerprint are populated when signing the package to identify the origin. This means local WAPT database is upgraded when first starting WAPT 1.3.8.2 and this is not backward compatible;
[IMP] Installers have a limited set of options, the most common use of WAPT is privileged;
[ADD] 3 new parameters for the waptexit policy behavior: hiberboot_enabled, max_gpo_script_wait, pre_shutdown_timeout. These parameters are not set by default and should be added to wapt-get.ini [global] section if needed;
[IMP] Use user’s waptconsole.ini configuration file instead of wapt-get.ini for the commands targeted to package development (sources, make-template, make-host-template, make-group-template, build-package, sign-package, build-upload, duplicate, edit, edit-host, upload-package, update-packages. This avoids the need to write these parameters in wapt-get.ini on the development workstation. These parameters are not shared across multiple users on same machine. One use case is to allow multiple profiles (key, upload location) depending on the maturity of package (development, test, production…);

Setuphelpers¶

[ADD] helper functions dir_is_empty, file_is_locked, service_restart and WindowsVersions class
[IMP] Added referer and user_agent in wget and wgets
[IMP] run function: define stdin as PIPE to avoid lockup process waiting for input or error like unable to duplicate handle when using for example powershell
[IMP] Version class: try to compare version using at least Version.members_count
[FIX] encoding fixes for registry functions, fix encoding for registry_setstring key name
[FIX] install_exe_if_needed: don’t check uninstall_key or min_version if not provided

[ADD] user_local_appdata function
[ADD] add the signer CN and signer_fingerprint to control file when building package
[ADD] add control attributes min_wapt_version to trigger an exception if Package requires a minimum level of libraries. The version is checked againts setuphelpers.py ‘s __version__ attribute.
[ADD] authorized_certificates attribute is sent to the WAPT server. It contains the list of host’s signer certificates distributed on the host
[FIX] When signing, check if WAPT zip file has already a signature file. (python zipfile can not replace the file inline)

waptservice¶

[ADD] Show All Versions checkbox in Available Packages page
[UPD] Skin updated
[ADD] Filter searchbox for available packages

waptconsole¶

[ADD] Add NOT checkbox for keywords search in waptconsole to search for hosts NOT having a specific package or software…

[UPD] when upgrading, reuse existing waptserver.ini file if it already exists, don’t overwrite server_uuid and ask for password reset if it already exists

waptdeploy waptupgrade¶

[FIX] waptdeploy not working on WinXP removed DisableWow64FileSystemRedir on runtask.
[FIX] waptupgrade: Missing quotes for system account on Windows XP

Libraries¶

[ADD] BeautifulSoup for wapt packages auto updates tasks
[UPD] winsys library update to ‘1.0b1’

[ADD] allow host to refuse request if not right target (if ip has changed since last update_status for example)
[ADD] fallback on waptserver usage_statictics if mongodb lacks aggregate support
[IMP] register host on server in postconf using waptservice http instead of command line wapt-get

[ADD] read the docs theme for sphinx setuphelpers API documentation. WIP https://roundup.tranquil.it/wapt/issue427
[IMP] doc updates
[ADD] api/v1/hosts_delete method
[ADD] need_install, install_exe_if_needed, install_msi_if_needed functions to setuphelpers
[ADD] parameters for waptdeploy.

WAPT 1.2.1 (2015-03-26)¶

Console WAPT¶

[ADD] combobox for filtering on groups in waptconsole.
[ADD] Add ADS Groups as packages action to WAPT host selection popup menu
[ADD] cleancache action to clean local waptconsole packages cache
[ADD] added notify_server on network reconfiguration if waptserver is available;
[IMP] column groups shows only host’s direct dependencies with package’s section == “group” instead of all direct dependencies.
[ADD] optional anonymous statistics (nb of machines, nb of packages, age of updates…) sent to Tranquil IT to document the communication around WAPT (sent by waptconsole at most every 24h)
[IMP] improved mass hosts delete,
[ADD] delete hosts package action. server >=1.2.2 only: https://roundup.tranquil.it/wapt/issue433
[IMP] big packages uploads (write uploaded packages by chunk) (but still some issues on 32bits servers due to uwsgi)
[IMP] display version of mismatch when editing package
[FIX] host’s packages not saved when some dependencies don’t exist anymore
[FIX] restore working Cancel running task button
[FIX] canceling subprocesses not working in freepascal apps (when waiting for InnoSetup compile for example)

wapt-get / waptservice¶

[ADD] reset-uuid and generate-uuid for https://roundup.tranquil.it/wapt/issue421 duplicated UUID issues
[IMP] find_wapt_repo_url processus to avoid waiting for all repos if one repo is ok (improved response time in buggy networks)
[IMP] windows DNS resolver in wapt client (python part) instead of pure python resolver. Should reduce issues when multiple network cards or inactive network connections.
[IMP] changed priority of server discovery using SRV dns records. -> first priority ascending and weight descending. -> comply with standards.
[FIX] solved some issues with SQLite and threads in local waptservice
[IMP] explicit transaction handling and isolation_level = None for local waptDB (to try to avoid locks)
[IMP] teardown handler for waptservice to commit or rollback thread local connections
[FIX] for waptrepo detection in freepascal parts: same processus as python part.
[FIX] for edit_package when supplying a wapt filename instead of package request

Setuphelpers¶

[ADD] read the docs theme for sphinx setuphelpers API documentation. WIP https://roundup.tranquil.it/wapt/issue427
[ADD] _all_ list to avoid importing unecessary names in setup.py modules. Now only functions defined in setuphelpers are available when importing setuphelpers. This can break some WAPT packages if names were indirectly imported through setuphelpers module.
[ADD] need_install, install_exe_if_needed, install_msi_if_needed functions to setuphelpers
[ADD] local_desktops function
[FIX] version class instances accept to be compared to str
[REM] processnames_list which is unused in setuphelpers
[ADD] add_ads_groups and get_computer_groups to waptdevutils.py
[FIX] run helper
[FIX] on_write callback not working
[FIX] TimeoutExpired not formatted properly
[FIX] use closure for registry keys

Waptdeploy¶

[IMP] waptdeploy with more command line options (in particular tasks to merge to default innosetup selected tasks)
[FIX] waptrepo detection using dns records

Install¶

[FIX] waptagent upload error on windows
[FIX] debian packages should work for Jessie
[IMP] copytree2 for waptupgrade
[FIX] trap exception for version check on copy of exe and dll
[FIX] mongodb-server version should be >= 2.4

WAPT-1.1.1 (2015-02-26)¶

Console WAPT¶

[IMP] the loading of the main grid has been optimized; only configured columns are displayed;
[IMP] the WAPT server detects the hosts whose waptservice is listening. Their Reachable status is shown with a green / grey indicator;
[IMP] the WAPT package to upgrade WAPT on hosts (???-waptupgrade.wapt) is generated by the WAPT console at the same time as the WAPT agent installer (waptagent.exe), the two files are then uploaded on the WAPT server;
[ADD] the package dependencies of each host are displayed in the grid. This allows to see what hosts have no package;
[ADD] possibility to trigger available package upgrades on hosts that are listening from the WAPT console. In that case, the host sends its status to the WAPT server after the upgrade;
[ADD] possibility to filter hosts in the WAPT console according to their upgrade status or whether they are “reachable” or not,
[ADD] when packages are flagged for install but are not yet installed on a host, they appear with a blue “+” indicator. It is then possible to force the immediate install of the package with a right-click;

Waptservice¶

[ADD] cleaning of the cache on the hosts after each successful upgrade;

Watpserver¶

[ADD] the versions of the WAPT agent, WAPT Server are shown in the main web page of the WAPT Server (with a red indicator if there is a problem);

Packaging¶

[ADD] functions to setuphelpers to manage shortcuts:
remove_desktop_shortcut;
remove_user_desktop_shortcut;
remove_programs_menu_shortcut;
remove_user_programs_menu_shortcut;

Installation¶

[IMP] verification of used ports during the post-configuration of WAPT Server on a Windows machine;

Webservices¶

[IMP] the waptserver no longer listen on 8080 port by default.

The Apache frontal web server listens in HTTP and HTTPS and relays action calls to the python waptservice that only listens locally.

It is therefore necessary to update wapt-get.ini files on WAPT agents and to replace wapt_server = http://srvwapt.mydomain.lan:8080 with wapt_server = https://srvwapt.mydomain.lan

If you can not make that change to your WAPT agents, it is possible to return to the previous behavior.

On Debian, edit the file /opt/wapt/waptserver/waptserver.ini, and in the [uwsgi] section, put:

http-socket = 0.0.0.0:8080

On Windows, edit C:\waptwaptserver\waptserver.ini and replace:

server = Rocket((‘127.0.0.1’, port), ‘wsgi’, {“wsgi_app”:app})

with:

server = Rocket((‘0.0.0.0’, port), ‘wsgi’, {“wsgi_app”:app})

The repository may stay in HTTP on port 80.

The calls to the WAPT Server are authenticated, but it is advized to restrict access to authorized sub-networks with a firewall.

[IMP] json calls to the webservice of the WAPT Server are now standardized;
[IMP] when launching update / upgrade / remove / forget / tasks_status actions from the WAPT console, the IP address of the host is no longer sent, but instead its UUID, and it is the WAPT Server that finds the IP address and the port to use; et c’est le serveur wapt qui s’occupe de déterminer quelle IP / port utiliser;
[ADD] verification in the WAPT console that the version of the WAPT Server is sufficient;
[ADD] the timeout to connect to WAPT agents and read the data are configurable in waptserver.ini;

WAPT-1.0 (2015-01-31)¶

[ADD] first public version of WAPT
