 | Stefano Lacaprara | stefano.lacaprara@pd.infn.it | Question | Linux | 3.1.1 | command line and apache+ldap authentication | Hi,
we are running an elogd (with SSL) server on a machine and using apache as a proxy.
The authentication to the apache server is managed via LDAP module directly by apache, while, so far, we have no authentication enabled in the elogd server itself.
So, when a used want to access the elog server, he is required to provide user/pwd by apache, and then he can access the elogs.
We would like to use the elog command line to transit entries automatically from a terminal from a different host.
the command line we are trying is:
echo "Test" | elog -v -h elog.belle2.org -a Author="stefano" -a Type="Other" -l elog -s demo -u username password -p 443
where username password are registered into LDAP.
In response we have a 401 Unauthorized. The full return message is at the end of this message.
I suspect that the "username password" we pass to elog are supposed to be that of elogd, not that of apache/ldap: I don't know if this is the case.
Does anyone have an idea how to make this work?
Thanks in advance,
Stefano

 | Stefano Lacaprara | stefano.lacaprara@pd.infn.it | Question | Linux | 3.1.1 | Use X-Forwarded-User as preset in author field | Hi,
I have an elog server which uses apache/ldap for authentication.
I would like to have the username used for ldap to be set automatically as author field in the elog.
I'm using:
Authentication = Webserver
and I do set the env-variable X-Forwarded-User correctly to the ldap username
GET /test/?cmd=New HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
Authorization: Basic bGFjYXByYXI6TWEwMiSyYnVt
...
Cookie: elmode=Summary; sid=D7DE678B7CAA1D10; ufnm=lacaprar; urem=0
...
X-Forwarded-User: lacaprar
How can I preset author to X-Forwarded-User?
Preset Author = $??
I've tried $short_name/$long_name but I got Anonymous.
I understand that it is so because these are meant to be filled when password authentication is used: any way to use some other variable with the Webserver auth?
thanks in advance,
Stefano |

Many thanks for your answer.
however it seems that your solution requires to have a eLog "password" authentication, which I'd like to avoid since I'd like to use only webserver one.

| Stefano Lacaprara | stefano.lacaprara@pd.infn.it | Question | Linux | 3.1.1 | Re: inactive users | Hi,
I reopen this old thread since I'm having a similar problem.
I'm running ELOG V3.1.1-0767eb0 on ubuntu with webserver authentication, and I'd like to remove 'active' checkbox as well.
The problem that we found is that if any user click on the [Set None] button at the bottom of the Config page in order to unsubscribe from all mail notification, *all* the checkbox are toggled, not only those for the email notification. And this includes
also the "active user" as well.
Moreover, if an user click directly on the "active user" checkbox, a warning dialog box appears, asking for confirmation, but this is not the case is [Set none] is pressed: so, in that case, a user deactivate itself without warning.
Looking at the web page as well as at the code, I did not find a possibility, but maybe someone knows better.
Thanks in advance,
Stefano

| Stefano Lacaprara | stefano.lacaprara@pd.infn.it | Bug report | Linux | 3.1.1 | Re: inactive users | Hi,
a possible solution is to change the current SetAll() and SetNone() javascript functions to something like:
<!--
function SetNone()
{
for(var i=0,els=document.querySelectorAll('[name^="sub_lb"]'); i<els.length; i++)
{
els[i].checked = false;
}
}
function SetAll()
{
for(var i=0,els=document.querySelectorAll('[name^="sub_lb"]'); i<els.length; i++)
{
els[i].checked = true;
}
}
//-->
It works on Chromium 58.x and Firefox 53.x, I don't know about other browsers.
The javascript snippet is generated in function elogd.c: void show_config_page(LOGBOOK * lbs) (line 13960-984 on my version of the source code).
Best,
Stefano |

| Stefano Lacaprara | stefano.lacaprara@pd.infn.it | Question | Linux | V3.1.1-0767eb0 | Attribute option "+x" not searcheable | Dear experts,
I have an elog with an attribute with fixed values, like this:
Attributes = Half
Options Half = +x, -x, both
It works fine, but I would like to find (or quick filter) all entries with Half=+x .
If I go to the search form, I can select +x from the dropdown menu for Half, but the search returns no result, even if I do have a number of entries with Half=+x. Likewise if I try to do the same with Quick filter.
I believe that this is due to the fact that the search uses regex, and "+" is reserved. I've tried to perform a search by entering manually and escaped "\+x", and it works as intended.
https://.../?mode=summary&reverse=0&reverse=1&npp=20&Half=%5E%5C%2Bx%24
However, since this attribute has a list of fixed values, it is not possible to entry manually something different "\+x" than what is defined in the config, that is "+x".
Is there a solution for this problem?
I would rather not change the attributes options (to, say, positive/negative), since that would mean changing manually a non negligible number of entries.
thanks,
Stefano |
