"New User" option does not work when Authentication=Webserver, posted by Jan Just Keijser on Fri May 29 09:27:32 2020
|
Our setup uses "Authentication=Webserver" + no automatic user registration. Thus, logbook admins should add a user by clicking "Config"
and then "New user". However, no matter what they fill in in the "new user " dialog, as soon as they hit "Save" an error
pops up saying that their username (the admin one, not the new one) already exists. I found the following code: |

Unfortunately I locallly don't have Webserver authentication, so I cannot check or debug. If you send me a diff that works for you, I'm happy
to incorporate it.

here's the patch that I use to enable use creation and deletion in combination with Webserver authentication.
The idea behind the patch is that if the user logged in via "http_user" is an elog admin, then {s}he is allowed to save a random
user configuration, including creating or deleting a user. |

Password File Config Issue, posted by Mark Delaney on Fri Feb 4 23:35:27 2022
|
I expanded an elog server from 1 to 3 logbooks. For each logbook there is a separate password file defined.
When I try to add a new user in one of the 2 new logbooks using config => new user, it adds the user to the password file for the original
logbook. |

Re: Password File Config Issue, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Feb 10 14:02:15 2022

Can you try the "top groups" option, which means putting each logbook into a separate top group as described in the documentation. For us this
works well, new users are only added to the right password file. There is however the problem that as admin you might be logged in to several logbooks
(as remembered in your browser via cookies), so you might want to log out from all logbooks first (or clear all cookies of elog), then log in to one logbook |
Default "Author" when replying to a log entry, posted by Jan Just Keijser on Tue Feb 1 15:39:38 2022
|
what is the default value for "Author" when replying to a log entry ? I now see that for each reply to a log entry, the value of "Author"
is set to the value of the author of the original entry - this makes it very hard to see which user has replied to a particular log entry, especially when
users start replying to replies etc. |
|
Re: Default "Author" when replying to a log entry, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Feb 1 15:43:00 2022

As you can see, on this forum the author for replies is correct. This is done via the config option:
Preset on reply Author = $long_name

Looks like you don't have shared libraries correctly configured on your system. Try "ldconfig" on your system or link elogd statically
(google how to do that).

sudo ldconfig didn't solve the problem
Is there any other solution than elog static linking? |

Adjustment of summary columns, posted by Mariia Fedkevych on Fri Dec 17 11:54:38 2021

Hi!
Is it possible to manage the column widths on a logbook's summary page one by one? |
|
Re: Adjustment of summary columns, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Dec 17 12:11:22 2021

You can manually modify the CSS style to adjust column widths. Locate elog.css which resides under elog/themes/default/elog.css, then find the class
“.listtitle”, and modify the line
width: 0%; |

If you use HTTPS, you have to connect to port 443 of your server, using the "-p" option.
Furthermore, you run under an Apache server, right? How do you do the redirecting to elogd? I guess you specified a subdir in the URL named /LogBook
to redirect to elogd. The you use another part of the URL to select the logbook, which again might be "LogBook". Is that correct? So your full |

Not really. The full URL in the browser is https://elog-1.matrix.com/LogBook. That's why I am trying with "-h elog-1.matrix.com -l LogBook"
I have just tried with -p, here is the full output:

I don't see anything in httpd logs.
I am just reusing an entry I created via web, so the attributes are correct. Nothing is missing, correct spelling, etc. I keep trying.
BTW, I have just realized that the output of "elog -h" does not "man log", which is the one I have been using so far. |

But this is real progress! Now elog successfully connected, and all your data was transmitted, but elogd refused your content.
A possible explanation is that one required attribute of this logbook was not provided in your elog command, or that one value of an
attribute does not match any allowed value for that attribute. |

Ok, you Apache listes on two ports. On port 80 with HTTP and on port 443 with HTTPS. If you connect to port 80, there is no fowarding to elogd, that's
why Apach complains
The requested URL /LogBook/ was not found on this server. |

That reply indicates that the login was not successful. So something went wrong with the authentication. You can try to switch off passwords to see if
that makes a difference.

It is the default. If you install ELOG on your PC and run it, then every access will be directly to the ELOG web service. If you want to have Apache
inbetween, it is some extra effort.

Now you've totally lost me.
elogd is a web service. You connect to it with a web browser. You don't pass arguments at startup of the service that refers to specific
atrributes. I have no idea what you intend to do, you need to explain a lot more. |
