  2306   Mon Aug 6 17:43:52 2007 Warning Steve Jonessteve.jones@freescale.comRequestAll2.6.2-1739Too many logbooks during user registration
Stefan, we require registration with elog. We have quite a number of logbooks and when someone requests a login account AND elects to register with all of the logbooks, the resulting URL is apparently too long for browsers to handle when the admins click on the link embedded in the email notification. For example, FireFox (latest ver) appears to truncate the URL *after* submission (the correct URL is there before submission).

My question: Is it possible to limit - or remove - the checkboxes that the user can select during registration? I realize that this is a browser issue but I doubt I can persuade those guys to fix FireFox.

Thanks.

I changed the current SVN version (#1909) to show only the list of logbooks if there are ten or less logbooks, in order not to make the URL too long. On the activation by the administrator, the list of subscribed logbooks appears as previously, but all are unchecked. So it's the task of the administrator to enable subscriptions or not.



Quote:
So the list is shown to the one requesting the registration? Would it be possible to have an option that, when selected, simply did not list any logbooks? I can see a customer becoming confused if they did not see their logbook listed. Just turn off the selection completely. Otherwise, this will work but I fear will generate more questions as in "Why isn't logbook <blah> listed?"

Thanks!
  827   Mon Dec 6 02:34:32 2004 Question Steve Allenns@elogicsystems.comQuestionAll2.5.5-2external authentication possible?
In order to avoid having to remember multiple usernames/passwords for
different systems, is it possible for ELOG to use external authentication
via Active Directory, etc?

Thanks,
Steve

Could someone point me to the LDAP configuration docs, I searched to no avail.  I'm sure there is some big red ldap config button it, but I just can't find it.

This is a duplicate, made by mistake.

Thank you, I am looking to do LDAPS over 636 where would the certificate go (Does it go in the SSL folder?).

This is what I've been able to figure out, in terms of the elogd.cfg file:

LDAP server = server.domain:389
LDAP userbase = ou=people,o=domain.com,dc=domain,dc=com
LDAP login attribute = uid
LDAP register = 0

  1008   Thu Mar 24 10:31:01 2005 Angy Stephen A. Woodsaw@jlab.orgBug reportLinux Crash with Protect Selection page = 1
Using 2.5.8, if I set "Protect Selection page" to 1, then elogd seg faults
as soon as it is accessed.

Under 2.5.7, a login page will come up, and the logbook will work, but only
if a valid username/password is given.  If an invalid login is given, then
elogd crashes.  We have a cron job that periodically restarts elogd if it is
has crashed.
