11. Security Status today Objectives No Security DMTF Level authentication
SSL encryption
ACLs internally

12. WQL State Today Objective Plans No ExecQuery Implementation
Implement WQL Level 1
Plans
CIM Operation May 2001
WQL – Summer 2001

13. Indications State Today Objective Nothing Today Implement in stages
Listener, Indication Service Manager
Stage 2
Provider extensions for indications

14. Provider Communications
State Today
Dynamic Library Providers
Simple Interface
Minimal Toolkit
Objectives
Multiple communication models
Clarify Interface and move to Specification
Create extensive toolkit

15. Interop Extensions State Today Objectives TBD
Implement the changes being made by Interop work Group to provide CIMOM and Provider capabilities, registration, etc.

16. Non-Blocking Operations
State Today
All operations are blocked except for TCP receive
Objectives
Non-blocking operations on providers, services, repositories
Problems
Portablity of the model across systems
Must include locks also (repository and provider)

17. Discovery State Today Objectives Nothing Use Well-known port (ASAP)
Implement SLP as test
Work with Interop to get SLP standardized

18. Services State Today Objective Service examples
We are having problems defining the concept
Objective
Define services concepts
Refine with initial services
Service examples
Indication Manager
Indication Registration Manager
Etc.

19. Clients State Today Objective Simple WEB based CGI Client
Browser/Edit Graphic Client
Demonstration clients for particular functions
CLI client – Command Line
Test Client
Special demonstration clients.
Scripting Client (ex. TCL)

20. Providers State Today Objectives Simple Interface
Couple of basic providers
Objectives
Test Providers
Provider Toolkit
Working Providers to demonstrate concepts
Scripting Provider

21. Connectors Concept Today Objectives
Separate communications from core CIMOM
Provide pluggable communications
Provide language conversion
Today
We understand our concept
No implementation
Objectives
Create connector definition
Create CIM classes to represent connectors
Implement several connectors
Ex. Cim-xml, soap, toMOF, etc.

22. Async Interface State Today Objectives None
Still trying to clarify requirements

23. Other areas for Discussion
Working as a Project
Open questions

24. Open Questions Today Licensing and the WBEMSource
Creating a working test environment
We feature many unit tests
Will initiate Client/server tests when server becomes a daemon
Need to add compiler test environment.
Additional help
