ELOG Forum

"When you are active browsing entries, your activity is recorded (only the time) in the password file. Now when you are inactive for more than one hour, you are considered "logged out", and your last activity is taken as a filter for new entries. That means you see new entries since your last activity in the logbook. " https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1612

Sure it will be stuck on a date/time, until you show "inactivity". So wait for >1h, and then check again. You will see the time updated.

Hi Stefan,

well I just logged on tonight after being "inactive" (away from work) for two days and the "Show only new entries" button is still stuck at "Tue Oct 22 10:56:27 2013".

Could it be that I am have left myself logged in on another machine somewhere?

How does ELog determine "activity"?

Regards

Mark.

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

⇄

Detect language » Italian

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

I have asked for same help, and no one has answered with a solution on implementing a kerberos . I saw exactly what you were seeing. (did you try fully qualifying the domain within the username field for logon? \\TEST.COM\username)

I still couldn't get it to work

Just my two cent:

- did you edit the Makefile to compile elogd with kerberos (USE_KRB5 = 1)?

- did you look into the elogd logfile for error messages at start-up or at login time?

I can only say that I got it working right away - that is the case when you learn least.

Maybe you should post your specific software versions: operating system (in my case Scientific Linux 5.1 (Boron)), Kerberos version (klist -V), etc.

Re: Attachment file names encoding

Thank you for reply.

I am not very experienced linux user so it could be a problem with the file system. Let me just describe what I do and what I see as a result.

I created a new elog just for the testing purpose, it has "Charset = koi8-r" line in the config file. Than I post a new entry to this elog with russian text and a file with russian file name from windows (so I expect that charset is cp1251). Now I open this entry. The text is fine and the filename is fine on the page (the same russian text I expect to see), but when I try to download it, the actual file name is broken and to restore it I need koi8-r -> cp1252 transformation. The file itself is readable.
If I look in the actual logbook directory, then in the entry file the file name is readable (entry file encoding is koi8-r), but the attachment file name contains many "?" and not readable by file system.

So first my question is what happened to the file name incoding in a logbook directory, and the second one: what should I do to make attachments download as they were uploaded?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I am trying to move elog from old FreeBSD system to a new Ubuntu server and stuck with attachment encoding problem. The elog entries as well as attachments ашду тфьуы are mostly in koi8-r or cp1251 encoding. While it is relatively easy to configure log entries to display correctly, I still can't manage to deal with attachments. In old elog all attachments with Cyrillic file names are "not found" by elog web interface while files are present in the directory (though previous admin could have done something with the encoding).

If I am creating a new elog with default koi8-r charset, then new cyrrilic attachments are uploaded and displayed normally but after download the file name encoding is broken. Does elog do something with attachment name encoding?

You should be able to figure this out:
As an administrator you can have a look what are the real file names on the file system.
With your browser you can see what are the names of the attachment. Like in this forum, the entry https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/67571 has an attachment https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/131008_181353/import.xml
If the two match you don't have an encoding but some file system problem. If they don't match, then we are one step further in solving your problem Smile

Thought, the file name in the URL has to be URL encoded (see e.g. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp), which is of course different from the encoding of the file system.
