WAPT-2.6.0.16552 (2024-11-19)¶

hash : 49ddf2d3

This is the first release for WAPT 2.6 serie.

The focus of this release is the security and performance improvement.

Main new features:

Add peercache support for agent to agent package distribution : on a subnet, the first computer to download a package can share the download to other computer from the same subnet
Add support for session_cleanup function to integrate cleanup in user session during package uninstall
Improved support for timezone in WADS
Add support for dark mode in WaptConsole on Windows (dark mode on Linux and macOS was already supported).
Add support for remote assistance through rustdesk, teamviewer, anydesk (need to first install audit packages)
Add support for json output to wapt-get for easier automation
In WaptConsole add manual audit values, such as warranty expiration date, etc.
WaptConsole: automatically match installed software with corresponding package in software inventory tab
WaptConsole: enhanced html templating with possible actions ( HttpGet, HttpPost, Join, Get, Count, Pad, PadLeft Values, Keys )
Customise output of wapt-get command through templates

New technical and security features:

Switch to LDAP SASL GSSAPI Kerberos authentication for Active Directory
Hardening of local wapt service : local waptservice is now listening on https TLS socket, split of local db in public and private db
Support for waptconsole authentication for “Protected Users” group members
WAPT Windows Update now use COM early bindings rather than late binding to avoid being broken by yearly incorrect COM TLB updates from Microsoft

Update of all components

Python 3.9.20 and all Python librairies
OpenSSL 3.1.7
Lazarus 3.2 / FPC 2.3 / mORMot 2.3

Caveat and removal:

waptpython is now a symlink pointing to wapt-get binary. Wapt-get binary does PYTHONPATH and PATH cleanup before startup for security reasons and might behave differently compared to original waptpython if you use if for other use than WAPT.
WAPT now use Python certify certificate bundle by default
removal of dmi / wmi inventory upload. It is now provided through audit data with audit_wmi and audit_dmi packages
if you use non-ActiveDirectory LDAP / Kerberos Authentication, SASL/GSSAPI Kerberos bind may fail
support for Samba Active Directory needs Samba minimum version of 4.16.
if you upgrade from WAPT 2.4, please be sure to read the upgrade procedure, it is required to have verify_cert enabled! If you upgrade from Wapt 2.5 you are ok.
there is a bug during package upload on a uWGSI enabled server. The bug is already fixed in today’s nightly release and will be shipped in Wapt 2.6.1.
dark mode is not yet supported on Windows Server 2k22 and later

WAPT-2.6.0-16552-rc5 (2024-11-18)¶

hash: 49ddf2d3

This is the fifth release candidate of WAPT 2.6. This release is for testing and qualification purpose. Unless there is a show-stopping bug creeping out during this release candidate it should be the final release for wapt 2.6.

[FIX] waptserver: update_ws_db : make a snapshot copy of ws_connections dict before updating the DB to have a stable dict
[FIX] waptwua: add a PyWuaContextManager class instance to manage the restore of wuauserv status after operations instead of global threadvar which could not be reentrant
[UPD] waptwua: allow to scan and install using websocket even if waptwua is disabled but disable scheduled downloads or installs don’t hide banned updates during scan if waptwua is not enabled

- filetoken is same as nopassword.
[IMP] waptagent: use ‘USERNAME’ environ variable for GetUserName on windows as USERNAME is not coherent when using LOCAL SYSTEM context.

WAPT-2.6.0.16446-rc1 (2024-10-22)¶

hash: 71150fcb

This is the first release candidate of WAPT 2.6. This release is for testing and qualification purpose.

Main new feature:

switch to LDAP SASL GSSAPI Kerberos authentication for Active Directory
hardening of local wapt service : local waptservice is now listening on https TLS socket, split of local db in public and private db
add support for session_cleanup function to integrate cleanup in user session during package uninstall
tech preview : peercache available to
better support for timezone in WADS
add support for dark mode in WaptConsole on Windows (dark mode on Linux and macOS was already supported)
add support for remote assistance through rustdesk, teamviewer, anydesk (need to first install audit packages)
WAPT Windows Update now use COM early bindings rather than late binding to avoid being broken by incorrect COM TLB updates from Microsoft
support for waptconsole authentication for “Protected Users” group members
add support for json output to wapt-get
add manual audit values, such as warranty expiration date, etc.
automatically match installed software with corresponding package in software inventory tab
enhanced html templating with possible actions ( HttpGet, HttpPost, Join, Get, Count, Pad, PadLeft Values, Keys )

Update of all components

Python 3.9.20 and all Python librairies
OpenSSL 3.1.7
Lazarus 3.2 / FPC 2.3 / mORMot 2.3

Caveat and removal:

waptpython is now a symlink pointing to wapt-get binary. Wapt-get binary does PYTHONPATH and PATH cleanup before startup for security reasons and might behave differently compared to original waptpython if you use if for other use than WAPT.
WAPT now use Python certify certificate bundle by default
removal of dmi / wmi inventory upload. It is now provided through audit data with audit_wmi and audit_dmi packages
if you use non-ActiveDirectory LDAP / Kerberos Authentication, SASL/GSSAPI Kerberos bind may fail
support for Samba Active Directory needs Samba minimum version of 4.16.

The main issue were:

failure in self service login which was failing for users that had no entry in WAPT ACL table
overwrite of let’s encrypt https certificate in some cases

Details of changelog entries:

[FIX] waptagent: waptsetup use_random_uuid from json config
[FIX] waptagent: reporting [install_status] property not found
[FIX] waptagent: fix use_random_uuid which didn’t work properly when coupled with dynamic config

[FIX] waptagent: dynamic config editor: be tolerant if a pem from json is empty * but this should not happen
[FIX] waptagent: waptsetup: don’t cleanup agent’s <wapt>\templates folder on install.
[FIX] waptagent: wapt-get add-licence ask explicitly for server auth Same RequireServerAuth hook added for list-available-config, upload-package, build-waptagent
[UPD] waptagent: waptsetup: removed the ability to cleanup the current agent configuration. Some users wrongly select this option without knowledge of the actual consequences (removed all config, certificates, etc…)
[UPD] waptagent: vscode package edit: use <wapt>\Scripts\python.exe as python interpreter. Don’t create python.exe link in <wapt> folder. <wapt> folder is currently in system PATH and some people expect that “python” in cmd launches the first found system wide “python” instead of wapt python.
[FIX] waptagent: missing manifest for python substitute.
- python.exe win32api.GetVersionExe() returning 6.2 for win10.
- fix regression on debug runwaptserver command
- fix regression on debug runwaptservice.bat command
[FIX] waptagent: websocket client: be sure to not use a HTTP_PROXY from environment when no proxy is defined in config. There is a bug in websocket module which does not follow the trust_env=False parameter from requests.Session.
[IMP] waptagent: wapt-get build-waptagent : takes in account default maturity from command line or ini file. Set forced_install_on to now like in waptconsole
[FIX] waptserver: ldap server auth failed for selfservice if user has no acls on wapt server. Revert “[SEC] waptserver: for /login, if user has no acls at all, reject authentication even if raw authentication is successful”
[IMP] waptcore: use get_system_cabundle_path from lazarus waptlicences module. On windows, if current user is system account, use <WaptBaseDir>\ssl\server\cacert.pem for cacert.pem file path containg extraction of system store certificates. Share the same logic between python code and lzarus code
[SEC] waptcore: waptlicences.waptserver_login: user password not cleared in memory on function exit Fix last commit (ask temporary client private key password on relogin)
[FIX] waptcore: regression: use default pyscripter editor if None defined in ini file.
[FIX] waptcore: memleak in waptserverconnection.login when opening a connection to the server
[FIX] waptcore: fix memleak in waptcrypto TX509CertificatesChainHelper.InitFromPEM
[IMP] waptserver: allow POST requests for import_host_from_inventory
[IMP] waptserver: linux postconf: keep old server certificate CN and subjectAltName attributes when generating a new children certificate. Prevent the case where the actual linux server name is not a valid dns name. In this case, we created a bad certificate previously.
[FIX] waptconsole: trim user edited text in grids for trailing space or leading space
[FIX] waptconsole: fix “file not opened” error in waptconsole MSI package wizard.
[FIX] waptconsole: fix portable application template in package wizard

[FIX] waptconsole: ad treeview focused node color on Linux
[FIX] waptconsole: fix translation of “forced install on”
[FIX] setuphelpers: regression on setuphelpers get_powershell_str(). Progress was returned in output beacuse of stderr redirected to stdout
[IMP] wads: wgetwads calc wads.exe url using rules.json and GetSecondaryRepo like in wads instead of requesting waptserver with a redirect?
[IMP] wads: use http:// by default instead of https for the proposed url of secondary repositories There is no easy way to distribute a server CA for secondary repositories
[FIX] wads: when calculating secondary repo URL on server, keep the protocol of default URL only for IPXE /api/v3/get_host_ipxe endpoint. For other cases, we keep the proto of the rule. (forward_proto=False)

WAPT-2.5.5.15556 (2024-04-24)¶

hash: bc556ed5

Note

This version has a few issues. Please do no use and use the next one.

This is a bugfix and security hardening release.

Noteworthy items:

for security hardening, standard Python interpreted python.exe is now replaced by a Lazarus wrapper calling python38.dll that restrict the PATH, PYTHOHPATH and VENV auto discovery to avoid looking outside of the WAPT install directory.

Caveats:

wapt-get edit package does not load vscode editor (code.cmd is no more in default windows PATH as PATH is cleaned up).
python winsys.dialogs module can not be loaded on windows: winsys.dialogs.x_dialogs: (1813, 'LoadIcon', 'The specified resource type cannot be found in the image file.'). The module winsys is not used by WAPT itslef anymore or by packages on the WAPT store, but may be used in internally developed packages.
in vscode, the python launcher is still the original waptpython.exe. Using wapt-get.exe as launcher does not work and is fixed in master/2.6. This means debugging in vscode does not match exactly what will be done in waptservice as wapt-get.exe cleans up python PYTHONPATH and windows system PATH, and wapt-get.exe provides pyldap and waptlicences python modules.

Details of fixes and improvements:

[FIX] waptagent: update of cacert.pem from windows certstore in win64 system32 localappdata .certifi

WAPT-2.5.2.15207 (2024-01-15)¶

hash: ed70d8c7

This is the second release of WAPT 2.5 serie. It includes many fixes since the 2.5.1 version.

As for WAPT 2.5.1, the focus of this release is the security and performance improvement. Now the client SSL auth is configured by default to enhance the security of the server, protecting both the repository and the API endpoints used by the agent. On the performance front, the upload of inventory updates from the agent to the server are more atomic to avoid unnecessary bandwidth and cpu consumption.

Upgrade notes:

It is not required anymore to have verify_cert enabled like in WAPT 2.5.1, even if it is strongly encouraged to enable it.
When upgrading, the websocket protocol is incompatible between the WAPT 2.4 version and WAPT 2.5 version. Due to this incompatibility, the connectivity status will be DISCONNECTED while the client does its waptagent upgrade. Upgrade is done by default in the next two hours. The waptupgrade package has to be assigned to all computers before hand.
The support of reverse proxy (WAF, etc.) doing TLS interceptions or TLS terminaison is no longer supported. If you have a reverse proxy in front of the WAPT server, it has to be configured as a simple TLS forwarding proxy based on SNI (cf. ngx_stream_core_module on nginx server for example).
The waptserver webpage for waptagent download is not enabled by default anymore. Please check the corresponding documentation.
In order to avoid machine UUID lower/upper caps mismatch, now machine UUID are sent in lower case if there is no pre-existing uppercase registered host.
The function from waptcrypto import encrypted_data_str has been moved to from setuphelpers import rsa_encrypted_data_str.
WMI and DMI inventory are now supported by default through auditing packages tis-audit-wmi and tis-audit-dmi. You can force dmi/wmi support directly in the waptagent, but it is less efficient and not recommended.
If you are calling api endpoints in scripting, beware that client certificate authentication is now mandatory.

Other highlights:

Add waptserver and waptagent support for debian 12 arm64.
Support for dark mode on Linux and macOS is now on par with light mode. Dark mode on Windows is not yet supported though.
The download speed was throttled due to a bug in the WAPT Console. Now download is done at full speed in the console.
In all the grids of WAPT console you can now create pie charts based on selected data.
For more clarity, date / time are displayed in localized local time instead of UTC.
In the process of security hardening of WAPT, the unit test coverage has been improved, the code base has gone through some cleanup and integration tests have been expanded.
You can now add custom audit data to create custom fields with hand typed data (for example warranty expiry date, etc).
To make inventory upload more efficient and avoid overloading the server, when installing / updating packages, the update status of waptagent is sent at the end of the upgrade cycle of the agent.
2 cmd.exe black screens were showing on opening a user session to execute WAPT session-setup scripts. We have been informed that some users where attempting to close the windows before the scripts completed. Now, the WAPT session-setup scripts execute without displaying the black screens on users opening their Windows session.

WAPT-2.5.1.14695 (2023-10-03)¶

hash : f667ffe1

This is the first release for WAPT 2.5 serie. The focus of this release is the security and performance improvement. Now the client SSL auth is configured by default to enhance the security of the server, protecting both the repository and the API endpoints used by the agent. On the performance front, the upload of inventory updates from the agent to the server are more atomic to avoid unnecessary bandwidth and cpu consumption.

In the process of security hardening of WAPT, the unit test coverage has been improved, the code base has gone through some cleanup and integration tests have been expanded. For more clarity, date / time are displayed in localized local time instead of UTC.

Note: be sure to read the upgrade procedure, it is required to have verify_cert enabled.

Libraries updates:

update python to 3.8.18
update openssl to 3.1.3
update krb5 lib to 1.21.2
update mormot2 framework to 2.1

WAPT-2.3 Serie¶

WAPT-2.3.0.13516 (2023-02-23)¶

hash : 69968974

This is a bugfix release for WAPT 2.3.

Attention

When upgrading from WAPT 2.2.3 to WAPT 2.3, when installing the new waptsetup.exe 2.3, if the waptagent.exe 2.2.3 had previously been installed ON the management machine ABOVE the waptsetup.exe 2.2.3, then the org certificate located in wapt\ssl directory of the agent belonged to the waptagent.exe 2.2.3 InnoSetup installation instead of being a local file, and was removed during upgrade to waptsetup.exe 2.3, which handles certificate deployment differently.

Now, in the case a waptagent.exe has been installed above a waptsetup.exe install, the certificates in wapt\ssl will be preserved during upgrade. This should happen only on the managemnent machine that is used to rebuild the agent if the agent has been re-installed above the waptsetup.exe install.

Note

The RHEL9 repository are how signed with a sha256 key/digest

WAPT Agent¶

[IMP] waptsetup.exe : backup <wapt>\ssl\*.crt before upgrading and restore after install

Upgrade details¶

WAPT Server 2.3 needs PostgreSQL 10 or above. Please be sur to have the correct version running, especially if your server is running Debian and has been upgraded from Stretch:

If the WAPT Server is running on Debian or Ubuntu, if you have upgrade from Debian Stretch to Buster to Bullseye, please check that the running instance of PostgreSQL has been upgraded when the OS has been upgraded;
If you are on RedHat 7, upgrade is taken care of in the postconf script, and it should upgrade from 9.6 to 14;
If the WAPT Server is running on RedHat 8 or derivative, then the DB is already in a good version;
If the WAPT Server is running on Windows the DB upgrade is done during the upgrade from 9.6 to 14.
