Thanks, I'll try that and see what happens

The elgod.c progarm itself is rather weak in SSL, since I just don't have time to catch up with the latest SSL enhancements. The safest you can do is to put an industry-strenth web server like Apache in front of elogd and let that server handle the SSL layer.

Recently central IT scanned our elog server and reported the following "vulnerabilities"

  • 42873 (1) - SSL Medium Strength Cipher Suites Supported (SWEET32)
  • 51192 (1) - SSL Certificate Cannot Be Trusted
  • 65821 (1) - SSL RC4 Cipher Suites Supported (Bar Mitzvah)
  • 85582 (1) - Web Application Potentially Vulnerable to Clickjacking

Is there any easy way of preventing these

Thanks and Best Wishes

  69249   Sun Oct 25 06:26:49 2020 Question Daniel Kohldkol@yaani.comQuestionLinux | Windows | Mac OSX | All | Other3.1.4MEG style elog configuration

Hello,

 

I'm new to elog software and I could not find a solution to my configuration issue. I would like to setup a configuration file similar to MEG experiment's elog.

https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/meg/

I'm interested in creating similar to the structure: "General", "Collaboratoin", "Sub-groups (with sub-sub groups "Software", "Hardware" etc). I cannot tell if this was created by using Top Group feature.

Can someone explain how this design structure can be achieved?

 

Thanks,

Daniel

  66854   Thu Jul 22 00:31:54 2010 Question David McKeedmckee@phys.ksu.eduQuestionAll2.7What *exactly* do "clone" and "mirror" do?

We have been hosting logbook far (geographically and in internet hops) from our experimental site. Recently we have (finally!) gotten reliable on-site internet, and would like to host the log book on-site.

I have a suspicion that some combination of the -C, -m, and -M flags will allow me to migrate the logbook automagically and with a minimum risk of trouble from concurrent operation on the logbook, and to maintain the existing version as a mirror of the new official on-site version. But documentation is not being very helpful. Can someone say a few more words about what these options do?

 


I've been experimenting as I compose this and have a suggestion for language that might be useful somewhere in the documentation:

In this context "to clone" means to copy the configuration file and all data files associated with a log book so that I can host an identical logbook on a new host (that is this is the command to migrate a logbook).  After cloning the two installation are identical, but no effort is made to keep them so: if you continue to run both copies post made to one will not be reflected in the other.

Is this correct?

I'm still not clear on what the -m and -M options do.

Hi,

I have two logbooks based on the same data directory through "Subdir" option and when I add new entry in one logbook, then that entry is not visible in other logbook.

I suppose it is a bug in el_submit function, where I think the new message should be added to message index of every logbook based on the same data directory as the one, where the message was physically created. 

There is a piece of code, which I think should do this automatically

/* if other logbook has same index, update pointers */

but it seems the other logbooks does not have the same index. 

I'm new to elog and the sources are also new to me, so my guess to the ground of the problem may be wrong.

Let me know is this bug possible to fix in near future.

 

Best regards,

Jacek

Hi

 

I've written a powershell script parse a html table that contains old log book data that i would like to import to a elog book.  I've attached a example of the output.

When i attempt a import i get this error

"XML file does not contain <ENCODING> element"

The file does contain an encoding for utf-8  I've tried converting the xml to ANSI and ISO-8859-1 encodings but i get the same error.

is there something obvious that I'm missing?

here is the config of the log book:

Hi Donald,
yes, the import function gave me some headache in the past, too.

Here it appears that <ENCODING> </ENCODING> became somehow mandatory. But it has a different meaning then what you expect: it is the type of code in the text field, one out of HTML, ELCode or plain.
(Stefan: is this needed to be mandatory? Couldn't you just have some default ?)
In your case: you can just add the XML code "<ENCODING> </ENCODING>" before the <TEXT> token.
My problems were always related to the date format: elogd is very restrictive about what date format it is accepting. that will be your next pproblem ;-)

I hope this helps.

 Hi Andreas

That worked,  thank you so much. now I'm on to a new error. 

Now every time i try to do the import it crashed the elogd. 

OS is windows server 2008 R2.  I have the elogd installed as a service.

here is the even log:

I have attached the Data file I'm using to generate the fault every time.  same config as before.   Any Ideas?
