PTF(s): U478519, U478520, U478521

FULL PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
------------------------ 
Under certain condition QuickTime streams would not release
allocated bandwidth. As a result bandwidth reservation would
be miscalculated. This PTF repairs error in releasing bandwidth
reservation associated with QuickTime streams.

FILESETS:   avs.cs.server.rte 7.1.0.5
            avs.de.rte        7.1.0.4
            avs.rtspd         7.1.0.1 

SUPERSEDED PTFS:
----------------
IY19387 AIX 5 support

Fixes required for VideoCharger 7.1 to run on AIX 5.1L

IY18931 msExport API addition

This service provides a new MS API, msExport that allows
asset to be moved from server to client using FTP protocol.

IY18686 Playlist fixes

Contains fixes that support playlist operations.

1) Fixed playlist logging errors in dex
2) Fixed playlist problem error when switching from one entry 
to next entry.

IY17509 UDP Streaming Quicktime assets containing "#" sign

Server changes to support UDP Streaming Quicktime assets 
containing "#" sign in asset name with Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.x browsers (clients).

IY16877 Provide security for content management commands and APIs

Currently VideoCharger allows remote machines to manage
content.  By using the "-s" parameter on content management
commands such as vslist, vsupdate, vsdelete, vsstage it is
possible for users on one VideoCharger server system
to access or delete content from another server.
Similarly, a user with the VideoCharger MSAPI client application
libraries can write a program to manage content on
a remote system with no authentication needed.

This PTF implements a simple ACL file to control access to
MSAPIs, and therefore to the content management commands
vslist, vsdelete, etc.  The VC Control Server will now look for
a file /var/avs/config/vctrusers during startup.  This file is
expected to contain a list of IP addresses in x.xx.xxx.xxx form,
one per line, that identify the machines that are allowed to
invoke MSAPIs (specifically msOpenSession).  The server
machine itself will always be assumed to be trusted to have
access to itself.  If the file is not found, the server will operate
as before, in non-secure mode.  Therefore the simplest way
to isolate a single server system from any other is to issue
the commands
       touch /var/avs/config/vctrusers
       chmod 600 /var/avs/config/vctrusers

If a server is operating in secure mode, and an unauthorized
system issues a content management command, e.g.
vslist -s <server>, or runs a program that issues msOpenSession
against that server, the application will receive return code
0x03800006 and msg 2100-080 Authentication failed.

Note that when a VC server is used with a Multimedia Archive
server in secure mode, both systems must be authorized to
each other in order to stage content back and forth.

Similarly, in a split server configuration, or multiple datapump
configuration, all machines with VC code installed should
be listed in /var/avs/config/vctrusers.  To authorize a system
issue the command
       echo 9.1.23.456 >> /var/avs/config/vctrusers
where 9.1.23.456 is the IP address of the system to be
authorized, then stop and restart the VideoCharger server.

It is recommended that the file permissions on the
/var/avs/config/vctrusers file be kept at a minimum to prevent
unauthorized manipulation of this file.  Use the chmod command
listed above.

In order for a Windows VC Server to properly identify itself,
for authentication purposes, to an AIX VC Server (or Multimedia
Archive) you must obtain Windows VC V7 CSD 1.  Otherwise
a Windows VC Server will not be allowed to stage content to
a securely operating AIX VC Server or Multimedia Archive.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 
--------------------------
(1) Download the files "avs.cs.server.rte_7.1.0.5.bff",
"avs.de.rte_7.1.0.4.bff" and "avs.rtspd_7.1.0.1.bff:
in binary mode into an empty directory on your VideoCharger server.

(2) Logon as user 'root'.  Stop the VideoCharger Server by
using the command "stopsrc -cg vs".  Type the command 
"lssrc -g vs" to verify that all the processes have stopped.

(3)Apply the update using the command "smitty update_all".
For "INPUT device / directory for software" specify the 
directory in which you saved the .bff file.
        
(4) On the "Update Currently Installed Software to Latest Level" panel,
press the 'enter' key to start the installation program.    

(5) After installation has completed successfully restart the VideoCharger
server by using the command "startsrc -g vs" at the command prompt.
