Sure. Hit "Config", select other user, and click on "Change password".

Yes, this is a known bug of ELOG, see elog:68404

UPDATE:

As I continue to test and troubleshoot this problem I noticed something peculiar: the Datetime defined field that the client is rejecting when I attempt a record insert is listed as a Required attribute. However, when I just remove it from the Required list the record including the epoch time is inserted without any problems.

I am now unsure if my configuration is deficient somewhere, vs a problem with the client program code.

What is the input format expected by the elog client for a required Datetime defined field when inserting a record? (Eg: October 26, 2016 = ? in the field's data parameter).

I have read some prior posts on this and the indication is that the input needs to use epoch time, however even when I enter 1477493161 or 0 the client still flags the variable data as missing. If this is in fact the format I shoud be using then I can provide a sample input and output message to illustrate my problem.

I really appreciate your reply David.

There's only one Datetime defined field that I'm working with so I'm not sure what you mean, if you don't mind elaborating? It sounds interesting.

The only thing I gather right now from what you're saying is that there's essentially two locations where a field can be defined - in the Config file, or via the format of the data itself in the client command - but I could be wrong.

Hi Alan,

I have no idea if this helps but the Date and Time formats in the config file internally interconnect, as I discovered in trying to define them separately.  Define one, and the other is defined.

I only mention this as I spent some hours trying to sort out the issue, only to learn it was a "feature" that Stefan didn't want to correct as it may affect too many others.  I can understand that, and made a different solution to what I wanted to do.

Just incase anyone's interested, we went ahead and wrote a python script to act as an email gateway for ELOG.  If anyone's interested, we'd be happy to share and appreciate any additional improvements.

- You can send a new message to the email address to start a new thread.
- You can reply to messages received from that logbook. If you include the message you are replying to in the body of your message, the reply will be threaded appropriately as a response to the initial message.
- The body of a new message will only include the text/html portion of a MIME message if it's available.
- Attachments work, although we remove spaces and add a random identifier (to avoid collisions) to each filename.
- the Author field is derived using the From address of the email.
- the subject field is derived using the Subject of the email.
- both single and double quotes are preserved in the author, subject, or body of the message
