Using curl to post new entries, posted by Florian Feldbauer on Wed Sep 2 10:24:58 2020

Hey,
i'm trying to use curl to post new entries to our logbook as described here: https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68597.
The Elog is installed via the Deban package on Buster. |

After going through the code of the Python API (https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/py_elog/blob/master/elog/logbook.py) I tried the following:
$ python3
>>> from passlib.hash import sha256_crypt |

This is correct. The elogd daemon needs username and password in parameters "unm" and "upwd". The password must be SHA256 encoded,
so best is to grab it from the password file. This way one does not have to send clear text passwords over the network.

How to prevent file path leaks on a 404 page, posted by Rich Loring on Tue May 12 15:53:17 2020
|
Hello,
We used the Elog RPM binary installation method to install Elog. Our security scanners are complaining that Elog discloses the version information
when you hit a missing page (404 error). How can I hide this version info? Is there a snippet of code somewhere that I can comment out? |

I removed the version info from the 404 error, but you have to recompile elogd from sources. The fix will be included in the next RPM, but that can usually
take a few weeks.

A new RPM has been released at https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/elog-3.1.4-2.el7.x86_64.rpm containing that fix.

SSL does not work, posted by Hisataka YOSHIDA on Fri Jun 5 03:49:20 2020

Hello.
I installed the latest elog (3.1.4-2) in CentOS 7, and it is working well without SSL.
When I enalbled SSL option (SSL = 1) in the "elogd.cfg", and tried to start the elogd, the message below was shown and failed to run. |

Re: SSL does not work, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Jun 5 13:24:01 2020

When you compile elog from the soruces, you need the OpenSSL library to be installed. The CMake build process will then find it and include it in the
compile process. When you use the "make" build process, you have to make sure that SSL is enabled there:
USE_SSL = 1 |

Dear Stefan,
Thank you for your comment. I successfuly compiled the latest elog from source code, and now elogd could work with SSL.
In fact, I reported the case of installation with rpm file. Maybe, the latest elog rpm doesn't support SSL, I guess. |

Today I succeeded with the help of L.JR to produce a new RPM which contains SSL, KRB5, PAM and LDAP support. It's uploaded to https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/elog-3.1.4-2.el7.x86_64.rpm

Hi All,
I would like to have "Permis de verouillage et d'étiquetage 016685-68AF-0031" when I select it.

This has nothing to do with the ELOG package, but only with your local configuration of that specific logbook.
You should contact your local ELOG administrator.
Or you might want to rephrase you question: do you want to have this text added in the text field when selecting the field specifier? |

How are we supposed to give you a hint when you don't post your configuration?

It is described in the manual at https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#general
Entries per page = <number>
Funnily the default is "20". I have no idea why you see 6 entries. |

Thank you, Andreas! Not sure why I kept overlooking it in the manual. As for the number of entries when I sort, I'm not sure. I'll
set it up to display a larger number and see what happens.

SSL connection drop with large content, posted by HyonSan Seo on Mon Aug 10 07:56:43 2020

Dear all,
I had some difficulty to upload large files (>20MB) with SSL connection. I think it is also related to https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68636 |

Your solution sounds quite good, I will incorporate them in the distribution.

Record ID corruption, posted by Frank Baptista on Sun May 3 15:58:24 2020

Hi all,
I've encountered an occasional problem that seems to be exacerbated by having a message with many replies.
In our use of ELOG, we run lengthy environmental tests (often several days) in multiple temperature chambers (one logbook for each chamber). |

Hi,
I've had problems in the past due to a dodgy pointer creating branches despite a "No branches" in the configuration file.
It would be very interesting to see what the 200428a.log file looks like with these entries: in the screenshot they appear to be shown in time order, but |

Hi David,
Thanks for the quick response! Well, I'd have to say that the sequence is as tangled as it looks in the logbook -- I've attached
a copy of the log file for your reading pleasure. |

Hi Frank,
There are two interesting points about the log file.
1. Entry 5658 is timestamped later than 5659, but is earlier in the entry list. It also is "In Reply to" 5659. despite |

Hi David,
Well, you've made some very interesting observations, and raised some excellent questions. So, I went back and did some homework, reviewing
a number of logbooks to find instances where this strange 'record twist' occurs. You had asked, "Do you have enough information to decided |

Hi Frank,
Good bit of detective work. To me it suggests that something as yet undetermined occurs, that, when the 57th reply happens, causes the
issue. If that "something" hasn't happened, all is well. Apart from Heinz varieties (not true, in fact), 57 isn't an obvious |

I tried to reproduce the problem with a fresh minimal logbook (the demo one coming from the distribution). Made 60 replies and all went well. So I wonder
if it has to do with some special settings in elogd.cfg. Can you reproduce the problem with an empty logbook and an edlog.cfg which contains just the minimal
settings? |

Search feature in ELOG, posted by Illam Pakkirisamy on Sun Aug 2 18:45:18 2020

Hi,
Is there a search feature in ELOG. Basically, we have the topics broken up by categories but within the categories we would like to search
by a key word based on the subject to get to a specific topic. |
