Stefan,

i recently download the elog server for windows and configured. its working with me fine

i would like to configure my elog server for to display a different color when am giving a specific "value" for a attribute "Status".

from the documentation i found to use the

Style Status Fixed = background-color:green

but with this configuration, the entire raw will be with red color or the specified color. i am looking only for that specific box (Status column) to be with specific color.

my configuration is as follows

Attributes = Author, Type, Category,  Subject, Location, Problem Description, Status

Options Status = Fixed, Under Process, Not Fixed

Style Status Fixed  = background-color:green

Style Status Not Fixed  = background-color:red

Style Status Under Process  = background-color:yellow

Am attaching two images, one is current display and next one is what i am looking for

am not sure about will it possible or not.  please guide me. if it possible with javascript please tell me how i can include a external javascript for this pupose.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I checked the RPM download page and found that there is no RPM available to install ELOG on el8 and el9 based OS.

Can someone upload the RPM for el8 and el9 on the download page of ELOG?

 

Hi Team,

Current configuration

=================

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

ELOG version: elog/jammy,now 3.1.3-1-1build2 amd64 [installed]

Installation method: apt install elog

Configuration file: /etc/elogd.cfg

LOGBOOKDIR= /var/lib/elog/logbooks}
RESOURCEDIR= /usr/share/elog

I had an ELOG server set up in the Windows server which is authenticated using a Password file. Recently, I have migrated the ELOG server to the Ubuntu server. I installed ELOG from the Ubuntu repository (apt install elog) and copied over the logbook and configuration file from the windows server to the new Ubuntu server. In the server, the configuration file was set to /etc/elog.conf by default. I have modified the init file and set the configuration file to /etc/elogd.cfg (this conf file is copied from the Windows server) which includes all the settings. After moving to the Ubuntu server I would like to authenticate users using the password file and LDAP. Could someone help me how to configure LDAP in my installation style?

The global configuration that is found on my installation is as follows:

###################################

; Global settings

Password file = elog.pwd
Self register = 1
Admin user = a, b,c, d, e, Iafdsel

Suppress Email to users = 1
SMTP host = example.com

Time format = %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S
Date format = %Y-%m-%d

Restrict edit time = 2
Restrict edit = 1

Allow HTML = 1
Max content length = 209715200
Save drafts = 0
###################################

Should I add the below modification (by editing the necessary fields) to the current configuration? Will that make the LDAP and normal password file work?

############################

• Enable LDAP authentication in the Makefile by setting USE_LDAP = 1   (I am not sure if I need to do this in my installation style. If yes, how do i do this?)

• Authentication = LDAP
• LDAP server = ldap://example.org:389
• LDAP userbase = ou=People;dc=example,dc=org
• LDAP login attribute = uid
• LDAP register = 1

​############################
 

Can someone guide me on what changes I need to make for this?

Many Thanks,
Scott

Hi Members,

I have compiled and installed ELOG in Ubuntu 22.04. My ELOG version is 3.1.5 revision fc6679b. I would like to use both the password file (../logbooks/elog.pwd) and the LDAP for authentication purpose. In addition to this, new users should be able to register and existing users should be able to reset their password.

Anyone could shed some light on how to do this in the configuration file?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Stefano,

I also tried to set up LDAP authentication and password file-based authentication using the same settings as yours, which is not working as expected. It does work only with the LDAP authentication and not with the password file now. If I remove the LDAP-based parameters from the configuration file it works then password files start working.

I think multiple ways of authentication do not work concurrently.


Is that issue still existing for you or is it resolved?

Thanks,
Scott
