The process of stopping a service will not prevent new connections from
being created. The documentation needs to be extended so that the meaning
of `accepted` is explicitly and clearly stated.
MaxCtrl now supports explicit paths for certificates and optional server
certificate verification. This allows testing by using a self-signed
certificate with the server certificate verification turned off.
Using commas instead of spaces prevents a the misinterpretation of
commands as hostnames. If the `--hosts` option was given just before a
command, it would consume the commands as arguments to the `--hosts` list.
Updated documentation generation script and regenerated documentation. Now
all command documentation is generated by using the output of the `help`
commands.
The `add user` and `enable account` commands create fully privileged
administrative users like they did in 2.1. This makes the addition of
read-only users backwards compatible.
Updated and expanded the documentation on administrative interface
users. Added entries into the release notes as well as the upgrading
document about relevant changes between 2.1 and 2.2.
The users are now stored as an array of JSON objects. Legacy users are
automatically upgraded once they are loaded and a backup of the original
users file is created.
Removed the password parameter from the `remove user` maxadmin command as
well as all of the relevant functions. Requiring that an administrator
knows the password of the account to be deleted is not a sound requirement
now that, at least in theory, two types of accounts can be created.
The feedback system wasn't used and was starting to cause problems on
Debian 9 where the libcurl required different version of OpenSSL than what
MaxScale was linked against.
A set of the core MaxScale parameters can now be altered at runtime. This
set consists of the authentication timeouts and the admin interface
authentication. Other parameters either can't be modified due to internal
limitations or aren't sensible to modify at runtime.
The document explains how the module commands are used and gives an
example how they could be used.
Also fixed a few references to the old command names.
The document wraps paragraphs at 80 characters and uses triple backtick
bloks for code sections instead of indentation.
Also fixed a few typos and reworded some parts.
Added a document that describes the module command system and added the
necessary information in the dbfwfilter documentation.
The release notes also point to the newly created document.
