  67292   Wed Jun 27 10:42:20 2012 Question Michael Dannmeyermichael.dannmeyer@solvias.comQuestionWindows2.9.0-2396Problems with Autorization

Hello,

we used Admin and write passwords. Now this is no longer supported in ELOG 2.9.0 and I tried to change to File or Kerberos Autentication. But nothing worked. I tried the following lines in elog.cfg

[Serverlogbuch]
Authentication = File
Password file = C:\Program Files\ELOG\logbooks\Serverlogbuch\pwd.txt
Self Authentication = 1

So the self Autentication site opens and I can put in all informations. But if I click on save he tries to save the information in the password file and after a time he stops and Internet Explorer says that the page cannot be reached.

The file is not saved. If I remove the 3 lines the logbook opens without any problems.

I tried also kerberos but it didn't work. But there I think some entries in the krb5.ini are wrong.

Would you please help solving the File password problem?

Best Regards

Michael

Fun things to set are:

I am a newbie to being the administrator to ELog, but have used it for a while now. We just updated and have the same issue with the reply now. Unfortunatley I am not much of a programmer, yet, still learning. In our config file it has "Preset Name = $long_name", "Preset Author = $long_name", "Preset on reply Author = $long_name". By looking in the Syntax of elogd.cfg section, it seems to be correct, but I am not sure. Can you give me a suggestion on how it should look? Or tell me why it is not working and lead me in the right direction on how to correctly set it up? Thank you for your time.


A common mistake is to think that "Author" is some kind of keyword: it is not.
You can use any defined attribute, if you want to use "Author" this attribute needs to be defined in the "Attributes=" command line.
Attributes = Author, ...
Then you can use the "Preset" command.
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author = $long_name


I've just tested it with 2.9.0-2435 and it works fine.
If the following 4 line minimal logbook configuration does not work for 2.9.1, then please post again:
Attributes = Author
Preset Author = $long_name
Preset on reply Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author

Cheers
Andreas


Thanks Andreas,

That cleared up a lot for me. With your information I was able to figure it out. I got rid of the Author and just went with Name, and now it all works good.

Again, thanks for your help,

Ken Harvey

  67289   Wed Jun 20 14:02:45 2012 Question Ocanereuldky@yahoo.comQuestionLinux2.9.1-2435Protect Selection page=1

 Hi,

I have several top groups and each has several logbooks.

If I use the global option Protect Selection page=1 and Show top groups = 1, after an user logs in to the top group selection URL, the elog steers away from the top group selection page, and automatically brings him to the logbook selection page of the first top group. Is the elog programmed to exhibit this behavior?

What I would prefer is that, after an user logs in, the elog stays on the top group selection page, sine each user has his preferred destination, not always the logbooks in the first top group. Is there any setting I can use in the config file to do this? 

(My users need to access different top groups and logbooks on regular basis).

Thank you and regards.

The synchronize feature is totally worthless to me.

First of all the automatic backup doesn't work - and nobody seems to know why - and pressing the synchronize button by hand from time to time also doesn't work if the entry is too big:

Error sending local entry: Error transmitting message

 

So, copying the files manually helps, but for this I don't need a "fancy" synchronize feature.

This gets handled automatically by SVN. All you have to do is to put an "$Id$" in your text somewhere and enable the keyword ID. See for example
