PAPAGENO Patch for Windows and Linux

Update from 24. February 2020: Microsoft has shifted the date for this update to the second half of 2020.


Changes in LDAP access

Microsoft's March updates include significant changes for domain controllers that also affect PAPAGENO's LDAP access to the Active Directory and require a patch for PAPAGENO.

Up to now PAPAGENO's LDAP connections to domain controllers were done with the transfer of credentials in plain text.

To prevent unsecured connections and force secure connections, Microsoft intends to enable LDAP channel binding and LDAP signing for domain controllers with its March updates. This means that after the update unsecured connections against the two standard LDAP ports 389 and 3268 (Global Catalog) will be rejected.

PAPAGENO 6.0 is released

09/2019

That’s new:

PHIB Server

The PHIB server accepts requests via HTTP, converts them into RPC calls from the Papageno server and returns the result via HTTP.
Default port 8888.

​Implementation in Python 2.7, the required runtime is included in the optional package.

smscollect

​If the PHIB server is installed, there is also a daemon that joins multi-part SMS together. It evaluates the Omega configuration variable GD_SMSUSER and processes the documents of this alpha user (see gendrv 5.7.0.0.0).

LAMBDA Server

No procmon processes are started any more, the lambda monitors its child processes itself.

For Sandbox (Linux systems only): The Pi server, the SAP gateways and all daemon processes are also started in the sandbox.
​Processes entered in trusted.list are started outside the sandbox (e.g. xmlpostman).

Daemon

​For daemon processes, the system searches for DM_LCMD, DM_LCMD0, DM_LCMD1,… until the series terminates, last parameter is DM_LCMD99.
If DM_LCMD exists, the process defined here is started. A ‘\’ at the end of the line acts as a continuation character, otherwise each further config parameter is appended with a blank and acts as a process argument.

PI Server

Uncompress is included, so all printers can be used on Windows.
​Even in special cases, all documents in pi/e are deleted after printing.

gendrv

​The LDAP query whether a line has been assigned is now executed without language and dialog.
If the GD_… parameters are changed, the driver must be restarted.

​Security and Virus Protection with the Sandbox

Parts of the PAPAGENO software can run in a sandbox under Linux. A sandbox refers to an isolated area in which measures have no effect on the external environment. The SMTP gateway, for example, accepts e-mails, which may be contaminated with viruses. If it is in a sandbox, the remaining PAPAGENO software and the stored faxes are protected in case of emergency.

SMTP Gateway

The SMTP gateway provides several practical extensions and an improved strategy to avoid mail loops.

gendrv

Extensions have also been made in the driver for ISDN devices and, for example, the voice dialog for the telephone query of messages and the answering machine function (voice) has been improved.
