New version of Software Assistant released (C.01.01)

[Bob E Campbell]

Version C.01.01 has been released to https://hp.com/go/swa. It contains a number of fixes as well as enhanced support for proxies and CRLs.

Thanks to all on the HP Forums for their questions and comments to date!

Setting up a test server at the moment to test several things and one of them is SWA.
However, I still can't download the System Administration Guide from docs.hp.com
http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-0548/5992-0548.pdf
It still says "This document will be available june 1, 2007."

The SWA team has fantastic people working on this document. The problem is that they are so great we have to share them with other teams and our schedule has slipped.

We hope to have the guide published in the next few weeks, and I will see if we can have that disclaimer updated in the interim.

ERROR: Cannot load the certificate revocation list (CRL)
"http://crl.verisign.com/RSASecureServer.crl", specified by the
"crl_url" extended option. It may be necessary to specify a proxy or
disable the CRL checking with the "crl_check" option.


Looks like it was set to true by default before. Is this one of the fixes? (Making it work now?)

People shouldn't let me work when I'm hungry. Everyone please ignore my previous post.

CRL checking is new, but may have an impact in a proxied environment. We have addedd the "-x proxy=" option to allow all (ftp, http, and https) proxies to be set together.

We are waist deep in proxies here, so we are dealing with this too. We are considering future optimizations...

Bob! What's up bro? Looks like you finally got a new hat after all. Thanks for the update.

[John Payne_2]

Well, I'm sure it will come up next week...

I miss my green cap! If I could use another user to assign negative points let me know!

And John, I look forward to at least one friendly face at the talks!
