With SSL enabled, I'd like to to grab the CN (Common Name) of the user certificate and use that as login authentication method.

I am thinking of the following scenario:

- users with read & write privileges need to have an SSL certificate loaded in their browser. The "Author" field will be pre-set to the CN of the user certificate.

- authorization may be subject to further granularity (e.g. only allow users whose certificate belongs to a certain organization)

- read-only, guest access (without certificate) may or may not be allowed

 

Is there a way to do that?

 I put your request on the wish list.

Stefan,

Is there any way I might be able to initiate the 'copy to' function by selecting a 'tick box' (boolean) or conditional attribute choice in an entry page when submitting that page? We have a requirement where we run a main 'Operations' log and have another log with some entries needing to be in both (for additional actions etc). I understand the Operator can always manually use the 'Copy To' function after submitting the original entry but was wondering if there was some way a shell script (execute function?) or similar may be activated by a boolean or even a 'conditional' choice?

Thx

I want to be able to re-edit some entries but I need some way to know the dates entries were re-edited.

Am I just approaching this the wrong way? Should I disable re-editing of entries and use threads to follow changes by posting replies to an entry?

The only problem with that is that if I make a mistake I will have to submit a new entry to fix it. 

Please read the FAQ

 

Apart from logging when and who, is it also possible to somehow log WHAT has changed (like $attribute + $old_value was changed by $who at $date)

 No, this is not possible.

icon1.gif   Is there a way to send email notification without attachment, posted by Samuel Morris on Mon Sep 8 14:22:10 2008 

Is there any way to send email notification of only the message and not the attachment. We get entries consisting of 10 MBs sometimes, and we would like to send only the message and not the attachment in the email notification. I tried restricting postfix to 1MB and using Email Format = 111 but with no success.

Thanks

You have to use 

Email Format = 47

to remove the attachments. The encoding is decimal, not binary, so you have to do 1+2+4+8+32.

icon5.gif   Is there a way to limit users to view only the entries they have created?, posted by Herman Sherman on Mon Sep 8 23:17:59 2008 

We are using elog to allow users to enter their time spent on a project and we would like them to be able to see the entries that they themselves have

created but not the entries that other users have created.

Thanks,

Herman
