redesign of the FreeNAC.net website, Subversion URL changes

Some news from "FreeNAC: our tool for LAN access control and dynamic
Vlan management".

We wish to announce a complete redesign of the FreeNAC.net website, 
please visit and tell us what you think.
- The website is now in English and French.
  German and Spanish will follow in the coming weeks.
- FreeNACs mission, usefulness, target audience etc. is (hopefully) now
better explained.
- The documentation is better organised, you can add comments and it
should 
  be much easier to write documentation in a distributed team. 
  there is still alot of work to do though.
  [Hint: please consider contributing/correcting :-]]
- The website is based on the OpenSource tool Drupal, we'll
progressively test and 
  enable Drupal modules to make it easier and more fun to use. 

Note that accounts on the webiste are not unified with the forum, you'll
need to create accounts in both, we don't have a solution for this yet.

Oo another topic, Sourceforge has relocated its SVN (subversion)
repository to a new URL.
This effects the FreeNAC project: most links in the forum, the doc, and
any installed NAC servers need to be updated. Please see
http://www.freenac.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=200 

Thanks for your attention,

The FreeANC core team.

Release 2.2 RC2 of FreeNAC is ready for production use

Hi,

the FreeNAC v2.2 RC2 solution for LAN access control is ready, a tarball is available for download, or it can
be pulled from Subversion from:

https://opennac.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/opennac/tags/Release_2.2_RC2

This release marks our first steps towards the development of an object oriented policy interface and uses
a global object to access configurations which are now stored in the FreeNAC database. Therefore, it is
really important that you read HOW-TO
(http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/opennac/tags/Release_2.2_RC2/CHANGELOG?view=markup)
import your configuration files into the database. It is already stable and used in production. We
recommend you use this release, rather than v2.2 RC1.

This release also includes bugfixes and enhancements, so please read the CHANGELOG to know what has
changed with respect to our previous release.

Comments and feedback are welcome, please join the discussions in the forum.

Regards,

The FreeNAC core team

Release 2.2 RC1 of FreeNAC is ready for production use

Hi,

The FreeNAC v2.2 solution for LAN access control is ready, a tarball is available for download, or it can be
pulled from Subversion (branch 2.2). An update Virtual Machine will be available tomorrow.

This is a significant release, with major changes in the database design. It is already stable and used in
production. We recommend you use this release, rather than v2.1.

Comments are feedback are welcome, please join the discussions in the forum.

Regards,

The FreeNAC core team

Key changes (from the CHANGELOG)
o Database redesign: improved keys, field names and table names will allow the DB
to better grow with time and ensure better data consistency.
There were for example, locations as text fields in several tables. There are now
lookups into a location table which in turn looks into a building table.
Many new empty base tables for the enterprise edition were added.
-- See the drawing db_schema_v2.2.jpg in the doc directory.

o The server scripts, Web and Windows GUI have been adapted to suit the new schema.
o The new db name is by default 'opennac' (and can be changed); it was 'inventory' before.
o Many cosmetic changes to the Windows Gui
o End-devices: add an expiry date, set in the Windows GUI, checked in vmpsd_external
o Ports: record the last vlan used, and when.
o The end-device status has been extended from enabled/disabled to:
unknown, active, unmanaged, killed.
o Docs updated

Live demo online

Hi, 

If you want to get a feel for the product before downloading the VM or installing the tarball, we are
providing you with an online demo, where you can see how the system works.

With this demo you can try some of the GUIs we have developed and their current status. You can make all the
modifications you want to the system; use it as if it were yours (changes are flushed every half hour :) )

Hi,

we have made available a new VM which contains an 802.1x prototype with User Authentication in the Windows
domain and Mac Address authentication with VMPS.

For instructions about where to get it and how to use it, check the download page (http://www.freenac.net/pages/download.php).

Please note that we have renamed the release to RC2. The old VM without 802.1x support is still available
under this same release. Make sure you click on the right link to download the newest version.

Should you have problems, please post your questions to the support forum (http://www.freenac.net/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=4).

Actual (R2.1) DB Schema documented

Hi,

I have documented the actual DB schema, as used in the 2.1 branch.

You can see a report on our website:
http://www.freenac.net/pages/schemadb_2.1/Default.html
and especially the complete tables documentation with a description of
all attributes (including the ones in german  :-)

We made this diagram with a tool called Toad Data Modeler, you may
want to test their free version:
http://www.casestudio.com/enu/database_design_freeware.aspx
The source file is here:
http://www.freenac.net/pages/schemadb_2.1/freenac.dm2 or in the doc
directory of the 2.1 SVN branch.

I hope it will help you to understand the system.

Steph

Note: we know the schema is not really normalised, and that there are
lot's of improvement potential. Your feedback is appreciated, see our
discussion thread: http://www.freenac.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=14
