Hi,

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

Hi,

EPEL retired the ELOG package for security reason.

You can build from GIT source as described in elog:Forum/69732 .

Many thanks for your files and instructions. I integrated this into the official elog pipeline, so now the RPMs can be downloaded from https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download.html
and they will be updated automatically after each commit. If you succeed with any Debian/Ubunto I'm happy to add that. What's missing now is an
easy way to compile for Windows (which I don't have anymore).

For .DEB, I contact the Ubuntu maintainer for its build script, and cool, he replied that he's searching for it. That's could help me

Hi Stefan,

Some updates for Windows version.

I spent last WE to try to build ELOG on Windows from MSVCODE, MSCV, crosschain tool under linux etc, but in vain.

Dear Stefano,

the support for the LDAP is limited. As stated in the documentation "on an as-is basis".
       icon2.gif   Re: Problem in logging with LDAP and passwd, posted by Laurent Jean-Rigaud on Fri Mar 5 01:43:20 2021 
Hi,

It seems that ELOG does not support LDAPS but only simple LDAP connection.
          icon2.gif   Re: Problem in logging with LDAP and passwd, posted by Sebastian Schenk on Fri Mar 5 13:54:13 2021 
Hi,

we use the LDAPS connection in our setup and it works without issues.
You have to specify "LDAP server = ldaps://server.tld:port" and normally it uses a different port (636) than insecure LDAP (389).

The RPM is built with Kerberos (libber*), LDAP (libldap*) and SSL (libssl*) options. These libs are missing on your system, and rpm command does

And checking over https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/ , only el7 is found. Is that the right place to look for EL8 or EL9 based RPM?

Yes, same build options are used. 
But i can not'confirm that they are working as well as on EL7. The tests done by build script on CI/CD are quite simple and limited to
rpm installation, service start and access from cmdline to elog server.
