[cifs-protocol] RE: Status: SRX081013600536: [MS-NRPC] operation backing store linkages

2008-11-07 Thread Bill Wesse
Good morning Andrew. I am sending this to let you know that I have not yet 
finished my survey and annotation of the backing store linkages (on a function 
by function basis). I don't expect to finish this for at least another week.

Thanks for your patience!

Thank you again Andrew. I am proceeding with an enumeration of the linkage 
list, for submission to document development.

It is a very useful thing standalone, or alongside the main document, because 
it is organised differently, and even just that makes it easier to work with 
(sometimes it is great to have two different ways to approach the info).

[cifs-protocol] RE: List of interfaces used by Trusted domains (SRX081021600181)

2008-11-07 Thread Bill Wesse
Good morning again Andrew. As I noted in my other email, I will provide 
unencrypted network packet contents as soon as I can (I will keep you advised 
on this).

Meanwhile, I have spent considerable time handchecking the source code in 
various versions of Windows Server (2000 - 2008), in order to profile trust 
management. In the general case, the same functions are used, but I have not 
yet collected the version dependant detail differences.

I would again like to thank you for your patience; I expect to have a progress 
update for you next week.

Thankyou very much.

One note I would make about the packet dumps, which form the majority of this 
document is that while the cleartext headers are specified in incredible 
detail, they provide little information.  At the same time, the actually useful 
parts are still encrypted.

Perhaps these could be reversed, with the headers excluded (if an implementer 
can't understand the headers, they should look at the right RPC doc) but the 
payload in the clear.  This would save space, paper and provide more useful 
information.

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett

[cifs-protocol] Status: SRX080909600334: [MS-APDS] Backing store and policy application information

2008-11-07 Thread Bill Wesse
Change request for [MS-NRPC]:
NETLOGON_VALIDATION_SAM_INFO4 Structure Member Derivations and References 
([MS-NRPC] 2.2.1.4.13)
Status is that the information in the PasswordPolicyAndValidation.pdf document 
will not become part of the [MS-NRPC] document. This is because of the unwieldy 
amount of inter-document cross references in the tables.


Change request for [MS-SAMR]:
Password Policy Checks ([MS-SAMR] 3.1.5.14.2) 3. Password Validation Attributes 
([MS-SAMR] 5.2)
- Documentation development has not yet responded; I have alerted them 
concerning this.

Good morning Andrew. I have created document change requests, using the 
attached document as a source. The 3 topics below, from the attached document, 
have been submitted against the noted open protocol docs. I will keep you 
advised of progress. Thanks for your patience!

Hi Andrew. I hope interop & SNIA went well (I heard some positive feedback on 
the interop, but SNIA is outside my working set ).

I am the sole author of PasswordPolicyAndValidation.pdf - and gather you are 
interested in the entire set of tables & information in it being inserted into 
the appropriate documents.

So, I will proceed to file document change requests as applicable, using 
PasswordPolicyAndValidation.pdf as the source for change proposals.

I wish I could say that the pdf will serve as a model - but I do know there is 
an ongoing conversation here about top-down versus bottom-up documentation 
style & content. I recognize much of the AD documentation is bottom-up, which 
doesn't provide the most straightforward route to an implementation...

Hence that other document I sent a (very) rough copy of a while back 
([SCENARIO_DOMAIN_TRUST].pdf - which currently deconstructs most of the wired 
operations & some of data flow for trusts). As I noted in a separate email, I 
expect to be able to provide you with the latest copy soon. How much of that 
doc will end up on other forthcoming items under development is currently a big 
unknown.

I'm so sorry I didn't get back to you.  As I said to everyone else (at the 
interop and SNIA events), I just wish the rest of the documentation was so 
clear and provided such a useful mapping.

Very well done!

Now, what is the long-term status of this document, and how can we make it a 
modal for other protocols?
