Just upgraded from stable running 2.5.2-2 to 2.5.9-2 in case of the usable
Duplicate function. After the problem discribed below i made a new, clean
installation again and played araound with the demo logbook, copying my
testlogbook (part of a real used and under 2.5.2-2 working logbook) into the
demo cfg file. 

ia figured out two serious problems:

1. If I copy the following section to the global into the demo lgbook,
elogd.exe crashes emediatly ewhile starting as a prozess:

[global]

logbook tabs = 1
main tab = INHALT

2. problem (the ting) that made me playing with teh demo cfg:
There are totally 8 logbooks running, but just one has this strange problem
of not giving a link to to the datasets in full and summary mode. I cutted
down all the stuff back to this only lines:

and got still the same problem. if i create a new logbook it will works,
also ut works under 2.5.2-2 but not longer under 2.5.3 up (even not
2.5.9-2). any idea? mening this may be a VERY basic logbook... trued with
list display etc. around, nothinh happen. Need to go back to 2.5.2-2 where
this wasn't a problem? 

thanjs for any idea of this to problems...

Certain characters contained in the 'Subject' will cause the text to split into multiple lines .

For example if  I enter "My Subject" in the 'Subject' field it is displayed as

My

Subject

If I enter "My_Subject" it is displayed as 

My_Subject

Is there any way to change this so no line breaks are created ?

When creating/updating entries in elog, excluding the main text field are 
there any limits on the size of the other fields?

many thanks

Paul

The documentation describing the use of conditionals uses a single character (letter or number) for names of conditions.  I don't see any update/change to that rule anywhere in the docs.

I have been using multi-character condition names successfully.   I find these are easier to use since they can be more descriptive of each condition.   It works, but I am concerned I may be doing something that might not be supported going forward.   (It is simple enough to change these, but I'd prefer to know if this practice is acceptable.)

Thank you, again, for this fine (and, may I add, fun?) tool.  I'm having a good time with it!

The last x link TEXT now shows up like this

   'Last 20 entries?mode=threaded'

I can not reproduce this with the elogdemo logbook, however.

Hi I am running elog on windows 2022 server and trying to use ldap for Auth.

No matter what i do I cannot get it to authenticate against the DC.

Invalid user name or password!

11-May-2022 17:09:15 [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] {TrainingHouse1} LOGIN user "xxxxx" (attempt)

Using an LDAP browser I can connect to the DC without issue so not firewall.

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Hi guys,

we configured a kdc server using OPENLDAP as backend. We installed on it elog and configured the Kerberos Authentication on one logbook as follows:

Authentication = Kerberos, File
Kerberos Realm = TEST.COM
Password file = ./pwd.xml

Even if the kinit comand is retrieving correctly a ticket for the user tsearch@TEST.COM(we see it using klist and tcpdump on lo interface), elogd kerberos authentication is not working.

We tried using tcpdump for troubleshooting but no traffic is generated on the loopback interface.

Did someone solve this problem or do you have an idea on how to make the kerberos authentication working?

Thanks
