Re: 1.1.1 - Ready or not ? Soliciting input

Here are the issues that bother me most in 1.1.1.  I believe they are
all also issues in 1.1.

DEPLOYMENT

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2270
 - Redeploy broken when module ID does not include a type (patch available)

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2269
 - Redeploy broken when module ID does not include a version and app
uses JNDI (patch available)

I also just found a deploy problem with web apps with a plan with no
environment, but I haven't investigated much yet.

SECURITY

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2294
 - For a security realm with multiple login modules, we do not handle
the JAAS Control Flags correctly (e.g. we do not call the login
modules using the correct logic).  Code to reproduce available. Alan
had claimed a predecessor to this issue; I'm not sure if he's planning
on working on this one.

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2295
 - For a web app, if the security url-patterns don't exactly match the
servlet-mapping url-patterns, we apply no security at all.  Code to
reproduce available.  Alan has claimed this issue.

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1053
 - Likely not still a problem (reported against M5), but if it is, it
sounds serious.

There are a large number of other issues out there in the "security"
category, but I don't think they're all as urgent (e.g. GEORNIMO-1747,
GERONIMO-2274, GERONIMO-2275, and GERONIMO-2279 probably ought to be
addressed in 1.1.2 but I don't think need to hold up 1.1.1).

Thanks,
     Aaron

GERONIMO-2268 (Security Realm with more than one LoginModule does not
function as expected <http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2268>)
is this  predecessor I guess.  And this is the cause for  GERONIMO-2266 (
  FileAuditLoginModule: Does not log failed attempts)  and GERONIMO-2267(
     RepeatedFailureLockoutLoginModule: Does not function)

Though a work around exists, this should definitely be fixed ASAP.

I agree. While not in the same class as a remote root exploit, this is still potentially very serious (I say 
'potentially' because I don't know the precise details of the defect).

I also would prefer we stick to the JIRA definitions of priority, 
otherwise it will be too confusing.

Agree.

There are some users who are waiting for the 1.1.1 release to fix bugs 
they have run into in 1.1.  Instead of making them wait longer, I would 
prefer we aim to get 1.1.1 out with blockers fixed and no regressions or 
compliance issues.  Releasing often enables our user base to start using 
our code (as they may have had been unable to do so in a previous 
release due to issues they hit) and possibly get more up to date 
feedback from the users for the next release. 

These are only my views and it is the community that will decide.

Yes, I've noted a difference in our definitions for some time. Here  
are some definitions from the Jira system --
http://issues.apache.org/jira/ShowConstantsHelp.jspa? 
decorator=popup#PriorityLevels

I find the Priority Level definitions to be reasonably close to my own.

Quality issues can be blockers, but your redeploy problems are not.  
I'd put them as Major or Minor. By the Jira definitions, they are  
Minor. Users have a pretty reasonable work-around (Redeploy fails,  
Users can easily undeploy, then deploy).

I put some SECURITY issues in the BLOCKER category. If a user has  
followed the rules and believes that he/she has properly secured some  
resource and Geronimo permits unauthorized/unauthenticated access to  
that resource, then that's a BLOCKER...

They haven't been committed to 1.1.1 because the release manager nixed
it.  They'll be in 1.1.2 no matter what.

In any case, we clearly need to standardize our definition of blocker.
 I think that quality issues can be blockers, and it sounds like you
don't.  Which is OK, I guess we just need some way to decide what
we're willing to ship with, whether that's a vote or the decision of
the release manager or whatever.  Probably more responses to this
thread would help.

Why haven't the patches been committed? They need a Release Manager  
go ahead? I certainly wouldn't classify either problem as a BLOCKER.  
They could be fixed in 1.1.x.

Does this problem allow unauthorized/unauthenticated access to  
secured resources? If not, then I wouldn't categorize it as a BLOCKER.

That certainly seems like a must-fix BLOCKER to me...

Even if it does still exist, doesn't seem like a BLOCKER.

Re: 1.1.1 - Ready or not ? Soliciting input

Posted by Joe Bohn <jo...@earthlink.net>.
Are these issues "newly" broken in 1.1.1 or are they issues that also 
exist with 1.1?   From looking at the JIRAs all list 1.1 or earlier as 
being affected with the exception of GERONIMO-2270.

I don't see a reason to hold up 1.1.1 unless we have introduced some new 
blocking issues in the 1.1.1 release.
