Until now, the build process for BIND on Windows involved upgrading the
solution file to the version of Visual Studio used on the build host.
Unfortunately, the executable used for that (devenv.exe) is not part of
Visual Studio Build Tools and thus there is no clean way to make that
executable part of a Windows Server container.
Luckily, the solution upgrade process boils down to just adding XML tags
to Visual Studio project files and modifying certain XML attributes - in
files which we pregenerate anyway using win32utils/Configure. Thus,
extend win32utils/Configure with three new command line parameters that
enable it to mimic what "devenv.exe bind9.sln /upgrade" does. This
makes the devenv.exe build step redundant and thus facilitates building
BIND in Windows Server containers.
- "--with-geoip" is used to enable the legacy GeoIP library.
- "--with-geoip2" is used to enable the new GeoIP2 library
(libmaxminddb), and is on by default if the library is found.
- using both "--with-geoip" and "--with-geoip2" at the same time
is an error.
- an attempt is made to determine the default GeoIP2 database path at
compile time if pkg-config is able to report the module prefix. if
this fails, it will be necessary to set the path in named.conf with
geoip-directory
- Makefiles have been updated, and a stub lib/dns/geoip2.c has been
added for the eventual GeoIP2 search implementation.
The ax_check_openssl m4 macro used OPENSSL_INCLUDES. Rename the
subst variable to OPENSSL_CFLAGS and wrap AX_CHECK_OPENSSL() in
action-if-not-found part of PKG_CHECK_MODULE check for libcrypto.
The json-c have previously leaked into the global namespace leading
to forced -I<include_path> for every compilation unit using isc/xml.h
header. This MR fixes the usage making the caller object opaque.
The libxml2 have previously leaked into the global namespace leading
to forced -I<include_path> for every compilation unit using isc/xml.h
header. This MR fixes the usage making the caller object opaque.
Make will choose modified manual from build directory or original from source
directory automagically. Take advantage of install tool feature.
Install all files in single command instead of iterating on each of them.
- Replace external -DOPENSSL/-DPKCS11CRYPTO with properly AC_DEFINEd
HAVE_OPENSSL/HAVE_PKCS11
- Don't enforce the crypto provider from platform.h, just from dst_api.c
and configure scripts
The three functions has been modeled after the arc4random family of
functions, and they will always return random bytes.
The isc_random family of functions internally use these CSPRNG (if available):
1. getrandom() libc call (might be available on Linux and Solaris)
2. SYS_getrandom syscall (might be available on Linux, detected at runtime)
3. arc4random(), arc4random_buf() and arc4random_uniform() (available on BSDs and Mac OS X)
4. crypto library function:
4a. RAND_bytes in case OpenSSL
4b. pkcs_C_GenerateRandom() in case PKCS#11 library
this completes change 4785. the CHANGES note has been revised:
4785. [func] The hmac-md5 algorithm is no longer recommended for
use with RNDC keys. The default in rndc-confgen
is now hmac-sha256. [RT #42272]
4785. [func] The hmac-md5 algorithm is no longer recommended for
use with RNDC keys. For compatibility reasons, it
it is still the default algorithm in rndc-confgen,
but this will be changed to hmac-sha256 in a future
release. [RT #42272]
4784. [func] The use of dnssec-keygen to generate HMAC keys is
deprecated in favor of tsig-keygen. dnssec-keygen
will print a warning when used for this purpose.
All HMAC algorithms will be removed from
dnssec-keygen in a future release. [RT #42272]
4724. [func] By default, BIND now uses the random number
functions provided by the crypto library (i.e.,
OpenSSL or a PKCS#11 provider) as a source of
randomness rather than /dev/random. This is
suitable for virtual machine environments
which have limited entropy pools and lack
hardware random number generators.
This can be overridden by specifying another
entropy source via the "random-device" option
in named.conf, or via the -r command line option;
however, for functions requiring full cryptographic
strength, such as DNSSEC key generation, this
cannot be overridden. In particular, the -r
command line option no longer has any effect on
dnssec-keygen.
This can be disabled by building with
"configure --disable-crypto-rand".
[RT #31459] [RT #46047]
4708. [cleanup] Legacy Windows builds (i.e. for XP and earlier)
are no longer supported. [RT #45186]
4707. [func] The lightweight resolver daemon and library (lwresd
and liblwres) have been removed. [RT #45186]
4706. [func] Code implementing name server query processing has
been moved from bin/named to a new library "libns".
Functions remaining in bin/named are now prefixed
with "named_" rather than "ns_". This will make it
easier to write unit tests for name server code, or
link name server functionality into new tools.
[RT #45186]
4503. [cleanup] "make uninstall" now removes file installed by
BIND. (This currently excludes Python files
due to lack of support in setup.py.) [RT #42912]
