SCC v3.3.5.0

Special upgrade instructions should be followed for this version!

• Run the sputnik installation script to update SCC software

# ./scc_install.pl --yum update "Sputnik*" 

• Check the version of the RPMs

# rpm -qa Sputnik*

(Make sure they are all v3.3.5.0 or above; if not contact us.)
• Run the sessionusage data migration script (a web server restart may be required to allow it to run). You can safely restart the migration script as needed if it doesn't finish the first time you run it.

# /usr/share/kosmos/libexec/scc_upgrade_su --process-all
[ # /sbin/service httpd restart ]

• Check to see if you have software overrides, and if so, re-diff them against the new code.

# ls /var/www/kosmos/mason/VSITE

• Remove web server cache (should be in one of the following locations, not both) -- this step is important!

# rm -rf /var/mason/obj
# rm -rf /var/www/kosmos/mason/obj

• Restart processes

# /sbin/service httpd stop
# /sbin/service scc_mgmtd stop
# /sbin/service jabberd restart
# /sbin/service scc_mgmtd start
# /sbin/service httpd start

• Test
Have an Access Point handy and login through it. Check the admin web pages. Check the end-user login experience. Enjoy.

SCC

• Major change to the way session usage data is stored (and displayed).
• Session usage data is processed through a migration script to a new format, but not yet deleted. It will be deleted from the database and only held in the new format after the next release.
• Ad Hoc Report data stored as comma separated variables instead of tab-separated.
• Added location-specific fields to the "nodes" table in the database.
• Fixed bug that was not allowing "Enable Pre-Authentication" for the PayPal module to be unchecked.
• Allow upper case entry for MAC addresses and convert to lower case automatically.
• Remove preconfigure button on router page since the implementation was not bug-free.
• Added better error checking for portals with missing large objects.
• Fixed syntax error causing: "Odd number of elements in hash assignment" error.

Firmware

• SputnikNet Express enabled firmware allows the server to set (override) the local web UI password of the AP.
