Please use a valid email address for sender. All free email provider don't accept an invalid address, because of security against Spam problem.

Use Email From = xx@xxx.xx

 Hi there,

I have a connection problem with an actual elog installation. Many Browsers like as Chrome, Firefox and IE don't  connect to the elog server with ssl = 1 in elogd.cfg. 

I tested with Firefox 3.6 and IE 7 installations and there are no problems.

I guess it's a bug. Does someone have a suggestion to solve that problem?

Thx. Olaf

 

Hi!

This just started happening here also.  Some users can't get on to a SSL=1 config'd elog using either IE or firefox 10 (win7 or linux) or chrome.  SAFARI works.  Occurs in 2.8.0 and a newly built (even after

ssl yum updates) 2.9.0 version on SL5.5 system.  Seems to accept self signed cert then nothing.. (connection reset message).   Tried an stunnel from one port to port running elog

with SSL=0.  Same behavior.  Doesn't work on some browsers.  Any clues?

Thanks,

-John

Hi everyone,
it appears that many people have this problem. I believe this is simply a problem of your firewall settings. There are two simple checks you can do to test if I'm right or wrong:
  • Run your logbook on the standard port 443 and retry. If the special port has been opened on the firewall, it has been likely only opened for specific clients like firefox 3.6, IE 7, etc. If you use a different client (FF 10, IE 9) the port can be blocked.
  • Or just run the browser that does not work on the ELOG server. If it works to access ELOG via localhost, then you know for sure that it is the firewall.
I've actually tested it here at my institute: I've downloaded firefox 10 and could access ELOG on port 443 but couldn't access it on port 444, unless I've started FF10 on the ELOG host.
To John, Olaf and Christian: If you need to be able to use a special port and a certain set of browsers then just contact your computing division or whoever maintains your firewalls.
 
I hope this settles the matter.
Cheers
Andreas

 Hi all,

 

it is NOT the firewall. First off, I don't use a firewall. 2. I AM our computing division. 3. if it were the firewall blocking the access, why do I see "TCP connection broken" in the elog log file? 4. it's not working on port 443 either.

Something's flaky in elog's https implementation. For me it's not a big deal any more, as I use an apache reverse proxy in production now anyway, but other people may not.

 

thanks,

-Christian

Just for curiosity: did you try to start the non-working web-browser locally on the server?

well it's not a server but my laptop, but yeah, the elog server and the browser ran on the same machine, no iptables.

Strange: I thought I was able to reproduce your problem, but no: whatever browser I try I can access ELOG with SSL if
browser and ELOG are running on the same host. Same as you: clean install but no problem occurs. I haven't tried on a
newer operating system yet. Still I tend to believe that it would not reproduce your problem. Maybe I'll try at home
with ubuntu. Let's first wait what the other two report: if those problems are not related to firewall issues, Stefan
will likely see into it anyway.
