[thirdparty/hostap.git] / hostapd / ChangeLog
1 ChangeLog for hostapd
2
3 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
4 * added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
5 enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against
6 TKIP deficiencies
7 * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
8 session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
9 OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
10 needed with that version anymore)
11 * changed channel flags configuration to read the information from
12 the driver (e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of
13 using hostapd as the source of the regulatory information (i.e.,
14 information from CRDA is now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz
15 channels to be used with hostapd (if allowed in the current
16 regulatory domain)
17 * fixed EAP-TLS message processing for the last TLS message if it is
18 large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large Session
19 Ticket data is included)
20 * fixed listen interval configuration for nl80211 drivers
21
22 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
23 * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
24 internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
25 * fixed EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque padding (0.6.4 broke this for some peer
26 identity lengths)
27 * fixed internal TLSv1 implementation for abbreviated handshake (used
28 by EAP-FAST server)
29 * added support for setting VLAN ID for STAs based on local MAC ACL
30 (accept_mac_file) as an alternative for RADIUS server-based
31 configuration
32 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
33 (adds a new association ping to protect against unauthenticated
34 authenticate or (re)associate request frames dropping association)
35 * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
36 (IEEE 802.11w)
37 * added new "driver wrapper" for RADIUS-only configuration
38 (driver=none in hostapd.conf; CONFIG_DRIVER_NONE=y in .config)
39 * fixed WPA/RSN IE validation to verify that the proto (WPA vs. WPA2)
40 is enabled in configuration
41 * changed EAP-FAST configuration to use separate fields for A-ID and
42 A-ID-Info (eap_fast_a_id_info) to allow A-ID to be set to a fixed
43 16-octet len binary value for better interoperability with some peer
44 implementations; eap_fast_a_id is now configured as a hex string
45 * driver_nl80211: Updated to match the current Linux mac80211 AP mode
46 configuration (wireless-testing.git and Linux kernel releases
47 starting from 2.6.29)
48
49 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
50 * added peer identity into EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque and skip Phase 2
51 Identity Request if identity is already known
52 * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
53 * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
54 (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS/EAP-FAST
55 changes needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMV
56 and IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCS)
57 * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
58 * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
59 * added support for fragmenting EAP-TTLS/PEAP/FAST Phase 2 (tunneled)
60 data
61 * added support for opportunistic key caching (OKC)
62
63 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
64 * fixed Reassociation Response callback processing when using internal
65 MLME (driver_{hostap,nl80211,test}.c)
66 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
67 * copy optional Proxy-State attributes into RADIUS response when acting
68 as a RADIUS authentication server
69 * fixed EAPOL state machine to handle a case in which no response is
70 received from the RADIUS authentication server; previous version
71 could have triggered a crash in some cases after a timeout
72 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA realm processing to allow decorated usernames to
73 be used
74 * added a workaround for EAP-SIM/AKA peers that include incorrect null
75 termination in the username
76 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA protected result indication to include AT_COUNTER
77 attribute in notification messages only when using fast
78 reauthentication
79 * fixed EAP-SIM Start response processing for fast reauthentication
80 case
81 * added support for pending EAP processing in EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST}
82 phase 2 to allow EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA to be used as the Phase 2 method
83
84 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
85 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
86 lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
87 * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
88 this does not affect hostapd usage, but many of the APIs changed
89 and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
90 versions
91 * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
92 AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
93 * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
94 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (eap_sim_aka_result_ind=1)
95 * added support for configuring EAP-TTLS phase 2 non-EAP methods in
96 EAP server configuration; previously all four were enabled for every
97 phase 2 user, now all four are disabled by default and need to be
98 enabled with new method names TTLS-PAP, TTLS-CHAP, TTLS-MSCHAP,
99 TTLS-MSCHAPV2
100 * removed old debug printing mechanism and the related 'debug'
101 parameter in the configuration file; debug verbosity is now set with
102 -d (or -dd) command line arguments
103 * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
104 only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
105
106 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
107 * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 server implementation with the
108 needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
109 setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
110 .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
111 have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
112 * added support for EAP-FAST server method to the integrated EAP
113 server
114 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
115 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
116 * added a new configuration parameter, rsn_pairwise, to allow different
117 pairwise cipher suites to be enabled for WPA and RSN/WPA2
118 (note: if wpa_pairwise differs from rsn_pairwise, the driver will
119 either need to support this or will have to use the WPA/RSN IEs from
120 hostapd; currently, the included madwifi and bsd driver interfaces do
121 not have support for this)
122 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
123
124 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
125 * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
126 * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
127 * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
128 * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
129 * fixed configuration reloading (SIGHUP) to re-initialize WPA PSKs
130 by reading wpa_psk_file [Bug 181]
131 * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
132 * fixed IPv6 connection to RADIUS accounting server
133 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
134 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
135 * hlr_auc_gw: read GSM triplet file into memory and rotate through the
136 entries instead of only using the same three triplets every time
137 (this does not work properly with tests using multiple clients, but
138 provides bit better triplet data for testing a single client; anyway,
139 if a better quality triplets are needed, GSM-Milenage should be used
140 instead of hardcoded triplet file)
141 * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 server to use a space between S and M parameters
142 in Success Request [Bug 203]
143 * added support for sending EAP-AKA Notifications in error cases
144 * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
145 (still experimental)
146 * RADIUS server: added support for processing duplicate messages
147 (retransmissions from RADIUS client) by replying with the previous
148 reply
149
150 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
151 * added support for configuring and controlling multiple BSSes per
152 radio interface (bss=<ifname> in hostapd.conf); this is only
153 available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
154 * fixed PMKSA cache update in the end of successful RSN
155 pre-authentication
156 * added support for dynamic VLAN configuration (i.e., selecting VLAN-ID
157 for each STA based on RADIUS Access-Accept attributes); this requires
158 VLAN support from the kernel driver/802.11 stack and this is
159 currently only available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
160 * driver_madwifi: fixed configuration of unencrypted modes (plaintext
161 and IEEE 802.1X without WEP)
162 * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
163 IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
164 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
165 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
166 * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
167 frame protection)
168 (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
169 (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
170 * hlr_auc_gw: added support for GSM-Milenage (for EAP-SIM)
171 * hlr_auc_gw: added support for reading per-IMSI Milenage keys and
172 parameters from a text file to make it possible to implement proper
173 GSM/UMTS authentication server for multiple SIM/USIM cards using
174 EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
175 * fixed session timeout processing with drivers that do not use
176 ieee802_11.c (e.g., madwifi)
177
178 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
179 * added 'hostapd_cli new_sta <addr>' command for adding a new STA into
180 hostapd (e.g., to initialize wired network authentication based on an
181 external signal)
182 * fixed hostapd to add PMKID KDE into 4-Way Handshake Message 1 when
183 using WPA2 even if PMKSA caching is not used
184 * added -P<pid file> argument for hostapd to write the current process
185 id into a file
186 * added support for RADIUS Authentication Server MIB (RFC 2619)
187
188 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
189 * fixed nt_password_hash build [Bug 144]
190 * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
191 direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
192 * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
193 draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
194 * fixed a segmentation fault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
195 successfully [Bug 152]
196
197 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
198 * do not build nt_password_hash and hlr_auc_gw by default to avoid
199 requiring a TLS library for a successful build; these programs can be
200 build with 'make nt_password_hash' and 'make hlr_auc_gw'
201 * added a new configuration option, eapol_version, that can be used to
202 set EAPOL version to 1 (default is 2) to work around broken client
203 implementations that drop EAPOL frames which use version number 2
204 [Bug 89]
205 * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
206 this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
207 * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 message length validation
208
209 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
210 * fixed stdarg use in hostapd_logger(): if both stdout and syslog
211 logging was enabled, hostapd could trigger a segmentation fault in
212 vsyslog on some CPU -- C library combinations
213 * moved HLR/AuC gateway implementation for EAP-SIM/AKA into an external
214 program to make it easier to use for implementing real SS7 gateway;
215 eap_sim_db is not anymore used as a file name for GSM authentication
216 triplets; instead, it is path to UNIX domain socket that will be used
217 to communicate with the external gateway program (e.g., hlr_auc_gw)
218 * added example HLR/AuC gateway implementation, hlr_auc_gw, that uses
219 local information (GSM authentication triplets from a text file and
220 hardcoded AKA authentication data); this can be used to test EAP-SIM
221 and EAP-AKA
222 * added Milenage algorithm (example 3GPP AKA algorithm) to hlr_auc_gw
223 to make it possible to test EAP-AKA with real USIM cards (this is
224 disabled by default; define AKA_USE_MILENAGE when building hlr_auc_gw
225 to enable this)
226 * driver_madwifi: added support for getting station RSN IE from
227 madwifi-ng svn r1453 and newer; this fixes RSN that was apparently
228 broken with earlier change (r1357) in the driver
229 * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
230 instead of a static list generated at build time
231 * fixed WPA message 3/4 not to encrypt Key Data field (WPA IE)
232 [Bug 125]
233 * added ap_max_inactivity configuration parameter
234
235 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
236 * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
237 a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
238 the name (test_socket=DIR:/tmp/test)
239 * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
240
241 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
242 * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
243 direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
244 build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
245 and stakey=1)
246 * added support for EAP methods to use callbacks to external programs
247 by buffering a pending request and processing it after the EAP method
248 is ready to continue
249 * improved EAP-SIM database interface to allow external request to GSM
250 HLR/AuC without blocking hostapd process
251 * added support for using EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
252 * added support for EAP-AKA in the integrated EAP authenticator
253 * added support for matching EAP identity prefixes (e.g., "1"*) in EAP
254 user database to allow EAP-SIM/AKA selection without extra roundtrip
255 for EAP-Nak negotiation
256 * added support for storing EAP user password as NtPasswordHash instead
257 of plaintext password when using MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 for
258 authentication (hash:<16-octet hex value>); added nt_password_hash
259 tool for hashing password to generate NtPasswordHash
260
261 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
262 * driver_wired: fixed EAPOL sending to optionally use PAE group address
263 as the destination instead of supplicant MAC address; this is
264 disabled by default, but should be enabled with use_pae_group_addr=1
265 in configuration file if the wired interface is used by only one
266 device at the time (common switch configuration)
267 * driver_madwifi: configure driver to use TKIP countermeasures in order
268 to get correct behavior (IEEE 802.11 association failing; previously,
269 association succeeded, but hostpad forced disassociation immediately)
270 * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
271
272 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
273 * added support for replacing user identity from EAP with RADIUS
274 User-Name attribute from Access-Accept message, if that is included,
275 for the RADIUS accounting messages (e.g., for EAP-PEAP/TTLS to get
276 tunneled identity into accounting messages when the RADIUS server
277 does not support better way of doing this with Class attribute)
278 * driver_madwifi: fixed EAPOL packet receive for configuration where
279 ath# is part of a bridge interface
280 * added a configuration file and log analyzer script for logwatch
281 * fixed EAPOL state machine step function to process all state
282 transitions before processing new events; this resolves a race
283 condition in which EAPOL-Start message could trigger hostapd to send
284 two EAP-Response/Identity frames to the authentication server
285
286 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
287 * added client CA list to the TLS certificate request in order to make
288 it easier for the client to select which certificate to use
289 * added experimental support for EAP-PSK
290 * added support for WE-19 (hostap, madwifi)
291
292 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
293 * fixed build without CONFIG_RSN_PREAUTH
294 * fixed FreeBSD build
295
296 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
297 * fixed PMKSA caching to copy User-Name and Class attributes so that
298 RADIUS accounting gets correct information
299 * start RADIUS accounting only after successful completion of WPA
300 4-Way Handshake if WPA-PSK is used
301 * fixed PMKSA caching for the case where STA (re)associates without
302 first disassociating
303
304 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
305 * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
306 * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
307 * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
308 * renamed eap_authenticator configuration variable to eap_server to
309 better match with RFC 3748 (EAP) terminology
310 * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
311 by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
312 cards
313
314 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
315 * fixed RADIUS server initialization when only auth or acct server
316 is configured and the other one is left empty
317 * driver_madwifi: added support for RADIUS accounting
318 * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
319 branch of madwifi CVS tree
320 * driver_madwifi: fixed pairwise key removal to allow WPA reauth
321 without disassociation
322 * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
323 and adding them to the certificate chain
324 * fixed RADIUS Class attribute processing to only use Access-Accept
325 packets to update Class; previously, other RADIUS authentication
326 packets could have cleared Class attribute
327 * added support for more than one Class attribute in RADIUS packets
328 * added support for verifying certificate revocation list (CRL) when
329 using integrated EAP authenticator for EAP-TLS; new hostapd.conf
330 options 'check_crl'; CRL must be included in the ca_cert file for now
331
332 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
333 * added support for including network information into
334 EAP-Request/Identity message (ASCII-0 (nul) in eap_message)
335 (e.g., to implement draft-adrange-eap-network-discovery-07.txt)
336 * fixed a bug which caused some RSN pre-authentication cases to use
337 freed memory and potentially crash hostapd
338 * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
339 * added support for sending TLS alerts and aborting authentication
340 when receiving a TLS alert
341 * fixed WPA2 to add PMKSA cache entry when using integrated EAP
342 authenticator
343 * fixed PMKSA caching (EAP authentication was not skipped correctly
344 with the new state machine changes from IEEE 802.1X draft)
345 * added support for RADIUS over IPv6; own_ip_addr, auth_server_addr,
346 and acct_server_addr can now be IPv6 addresses (CONFIG_IPV6=y needs
347 to be added to .config to include IPv6 support); for RADIUS server,
348 radius_server_ipv6=1 needs to be set in hostapd.conf and addresses
349 in RADIUS clients file can then use IPv6 format
350 * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
351 * replaced hostapd control interface library (hostapd_ctrl.[ch]) with
352 the same implementation that wpa_supplicant is using (wpa_ctrl.[ch])
353
354 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
355
356 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
357 * added support for configuring a forced PEAP version based on the
358 Phase 1 identity
359 * fixed PEAPv1 to use tunneled EAP-Success/Failure instead of EAP-TLV
360 to terminate authentication
361 * fixed EAP identifier duplicate processing with the new IEEE 802.1X
362 draft
363 * clear accounting data in the driver when starting a new accounting
364 session
365 * driver_madwifi: filter wireless events based on ifindex to allow more
366 than one network interface to be used
367 * fixed WPA message 2/4 processing not to cancel timeout for TimeoutEvt
368 setting if the packet does not pass MIC verification (e.g., due to
369 incorrect PSK); previously, message 1/4 was not tried again if an
370 invalid message 2/4 was received
371 * fixed reconfiguration of RADIUS client retransmission timer when
372 adding a new message to the pending list; previously, timer was not
373 updated at this point and if there was a pending message with long
374 time for the next retry, the new message needed to wait that long for
375 its first retry, too
376
377 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
378 * added support for configuring multiple allowed EAP types for Phase 2
379 authentication (EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS)
380 * fixed EAPOL-Start processing to trigger WPA reauthentication
381 (previously, only EAPOL authentication was done)
382
383 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
384 * added support for EAP-PEAP in the integrated EAP authenticator
385 * added support for EAP-GTC in the integrated EAP authenticator
386 * added support for configuring list of EAP methods for Phase 1 so that
387 the integrated EAP authenticator can, e.g., use the wildcard entry
388 for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP
389 * added support for EAP-TTLS in the integrated EAP authenticator
390 * added support for EAP-SIM in the integrated EAP authenticator
391 * added support for using hostapd as a RADIUS authentication server
392 with the integrated EAP authenticator taking care of EAP
393 authentication (new hostapd.conf options: radius_server_clients and
394 radius_server_auth_port); this is not included in default build; use
395 CONFIG_RADIUS_SERVER=y in .config to include
396
397 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
398 * removed 'daemonize' configuration file option since it has not really
399 been used at all for more than year
400 * driver_madwifi: fixed group key setup and added get_ssid method
401 * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 in the integrated EAP authenticator
402
403 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
404 * added support for integrated EAP-TLS authentication (new hostapd.conf
405 variables: ca_cert, server_cert, private_key, private_key_passwd);
406 this enabled dynamic keying (WPA2/WPA/IEEE 802.1X/WEP) without
407 external RADIUS server
408 * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
409 PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
410
411 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
412 * added support for Acct-{Input,Output}-Gigawords
413 * added support for Event-Timestamp (in RADIUS Accounting-Requests)
414 * added support for RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC2618)
415 * added support for RADIUS Accounting Client MIB (RFC2620)
416 * made EAP re-authentication period configurable (eap_reauth_period)
417 * fixed EAPOL reauthentication to trigger WPA/WPA2 reauthentication
418 * fixed EAPOL state machine to stop if STA is removed during
419 eapol_sm_step(); this fixes at least one segfault triggering bug with
420 IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication
421 * added support for multiple WPA pre-shared keys (e.g., one for each
422 client MAC address or keys shared by a group of clients);
423 new hostapd.conf field wpa_psk_file for setting path to a text file
424 containing PSKs, see hostapd.wpa_psk for an example
425 * added support for multiple driver interfaces to allow hostapd to be
426 used with other drivers
427 * added wired authenticator driver interface (driver=wired in
428 hostapd.conf, see wired.conf for example configuration)
429 * added madwifi driver interface (driver=madwifi in hostapd.conf, see
430 madwifi.conf for example configuration; Note: include files from
431 madwifi project is needed for building and a configuration file,
432 .config, needs to be created in hostapd directory with
433 CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
434 build)
435 * fixed an alignment issue that could cause SHA-1 to fail on some
436 platforms (e.g., Intel ixp425 with a compiler that does not 32-bit
437 align variables)
438 * fixed RADIUS reconnection after an error in sending interim
439 accounting packets
440 * added hostapd control interface for external programs and an example
441 CLI, hostapd_cli (like wpa_cli for wpa_supplicant)
442 * started adding dot11, dot1x, radius MIBs ('hostapd_cli mib',
443 'hostapd_cli sta <addr>')
444 * finished update from IEEE 802.1X-2001 to IEEE 802.1X-REV (now d11)
445 * added support for strict GTK rekeying (wpa_strict_rekey in
446 hostapd.conf)
447 * updated IAPP to use UDP port 3517 and multicast address 224.0.1.178
448 (instead of broadcast) for IAPP ADD-notify (moved from draft 3 to
449 IEEE 802.11F-2003)
450 * added Prism54 driver interface (driver=prism54 in hostapd.conf;
451 note: .config needs to be created in hostapd directory with
452 CONFIG_DRIVER_PRISM54=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
453 build)
454 * dual-licensed hostapd (GPLv2 and BSD licenses)
455 * fixed RADIUS accounting to generate a new session id for cases where
456 a station reassociates without first being complete deauthenticated
457 * fixed STA disassociation handler to mark next timeout state to
458 deauthenticate the station, i.e., skip long wait for inactivity poll
459 and extra disassociation, if the STA disassociates without
460 deauthenticating
461 * added integrated EAP authenticator that can be used instead of
462 external RADIUS authentication server; currently, only EAP-MD5 is
463 supported, so this cannot yet be used for key distribution; the EAP
464 method interface is generic, though, so adding new EAP methods should
465 be straightforward; new hostapd.conf variables: 'eap_authenticator'
466 and 'eap_user_file'; this obsoletes "minimal authentication server"
467 ('minimal_eap' in hostapd.conf) which is now removed
468 * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
469 layer (driver=bsd in hostapd.conf and CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in
470 .config); please note that some of the required kernel mods have not
471 yet been committed
472
473 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
474 * fixed some accounting cases where Accounting-Start was sent when
475 IEEE 802.1X port was being deauthorized
476
477 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
478 * modified RADIUS client to re-connect the socket in case of certain
479 error codes that are generated when a network interface state is
480 changes (e.g., when IP address changes or the interface is set UP)
481 * fixed couple of cases where EAPOL state for a station was freed
482 twice causing a segfault for hostapd
483 * fixed couple of bugs in processing WPA deauthentication (freed data
484 was used)
485
486 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
487 * fixed WPA/WPA2 group rekeying to use key index correctly (GN/GM)
488 * fixed group rekeying to send zero TSC in EAPOL-Key messages to fix
489 cases where STAs dropped multicast frames as replay attacks
490 * added support for copying RADIUS Attribute 'Class' from
491 authentication messages into accounting messages
492 * send canned EAP failure if RADIUS server sends Access-Reject without
493 EAP message (previously, Supplicant was not notified in this case)
494 * fixed mixed WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP mode to work with WPA-PSK (i.e., do
495 not start EAPOL state machines if the STA selected to use WPA-PSK)
496
497 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
498 * added WPA and IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) Authenticator functionality
499 - based on IEEE 802.11i/D10.0 but modified to interoperate with WPA
500 (i.e., IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
501 - supports WPA-only, RSN-only, and mixed WPA/RSN mode
502 - both WPA-PSK and WPA-RADIUS/EAP are supported
503 - PMKSA caching and pre-authentication
504 - new hostapd.conf variables: wpa, wpa_psk, wpa_passphrase,
505 wpa_key_mgmt, wpa_pairwise, wpa_group_rekey, wpa_gmk_rekey,
506 rsn_preauth, rsn_preauth_interfaces
507 * fixed interim accounting to remove any pending accounting messages
508 to the STA before sending a new one
509
510 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
511 * added support for Acct-Interim-Interval:
512 - draft-ietf-radius-acct-interim-01.txt
513 - use Acct-Interim-Interval attribute from Access-Accept if local
514 'radius_acct_interim_interval' is not set
515 - allow different update intervals for each STA
516 * fixed event loop to call signal handlers only after returning from
517 the real signal handler
518 * reset sta->timeout_next after successful association to make sure
519 that the previously registered inactivity timer will not remove the
520 STA immediately (e.g., if STA deauthenticates and re-associates
521 before the timer is triggered).
522 * added new hostapd.conf variable, nas_identifier, that can be used to
523 add an optional RADIUS Attribute, NAS-Identifier, into authentication
524 and accounting messages
525 * added support for Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages
526 * fixed accounting session handling to send Accounting-Start only once
527 per session and not to send Accounting-Stop if the session was not
528 initialized properly
529 * fixed Accounting-Stop statistics in cases where the message was
530 previously sent after the kernel entry for the STA (and/or IEEE
531 802.1X data) was removed
532
