Jasper Spit, one of the Oracle Password Repository (OPR) authors has emailed me today to let me know that this very useful piece of software has been updated to version 1.1.7. The new version has been posted to SourceForge. Jasper emailed me a list of the following changes that have been made to the software:
Changes from the previous release:
15-06-2005 1.1.7 J.Spit
* Oracle client libraries are now dynamically opened/closed only for those operations that require them.
This goes for all platforms. This means you can use OPR on systems without an Oracle installation to
e.g. list, retrieve and delete passwords from the repository.
* added -f flag to forcibly add a password entry without verification on the database
* bugfix: ocisessionend function was not initialized
* bugfix: when retrieving a password, schemaname was case sensitive.
* currently database is converted to uppercase, and schemaname to lowercase. OSuser is left
untouched.
* raised max. repository entries from 1024 to 4096
* minor cosmetic changes
17-06-2005 1.1.7 J.M.Spit
* Removed possible buffer overflow in askPassword.
As Jasper said, enjoy!
