Re: honor "user" field in the Apache SSL request object or environment variables in SSL process groups?

Owen LaGarde wrote:

Will elog defer user identification and authorization to the ssl engine of a *local* Apache proxy? I'd like to try elog in a site that requires the service port positively authenticate and identify users via smartcard certificate ID. Per SOP they have Apache+mod_ssl setting SSLUserName=SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN which sets both the SSL request object's "user" field and the REMOTE_USER environment var relative to the mod_ssl's session's process group leader. Users auth with Apache's mod_ssl as a single-signon replacement for web apps which have traditional native, internal user accounts/passwords, but those passwords are subsumed by the Apache/smartcard/mod_ssl setup. The web apps define internal accounts matching the users' cert IDs but do not allow any management of the [unused] passwords. Can elog do this?

This is not implemented at the moment.

Re: Searching Logbooks

Hi Stefan,

I was rather hoping that was *not* going to be your answer.

I much prefer the plain ascii file format, for it allows me to edit it for "mistakes" post submission, 
shall we say.

Re: Action after message submission

Mike Zuber wrote:

Is it possible to automatically go back to the list view in summary mode after submitting a new message instead of displaying the new message?

I know it's possible to display a page from a file after submitting a new message by using "Submit Page = <file>".
It would be nice to be able to use a command like "Submit Page = <command>" where I could insert "?cmd=Back" as in the "Start page" command.

Thanks,

Mike

I just implemented a new flag "List after submit = 1" which does exactly this. It brings you to the summary page after the submission of a new entry. I needed the function myself. The change is SVN revision 2327 and will be contained in the next release.

Re: Cannot bind to port 8080

marco meneghelli wrote:

good morning,

I have installed elog 2.8.0 from terminal but when I type

elogd -p 80

or simply

elogd

the system tells me

Cannot bind to port 8080

Can someone help me?

Thanks

Marco M

Under linux, only the "root" user can start programs on ports below 1024. If you get problems binding to ports above 1024 (such as 8080) it means that some other program uses already that port. You can check what is running usually with

netstat -l -p

Re: elog 2.8.0 as daemon crashes when editing selected threaded list

Mark Bergman wrote:

I recently upgraded elog from 2.7.8 to 2.8.0 (and moved servers, removed unused logbooks, etc.). I'm now having a problem where elog consistently crashes when attempting to edit multiple entries. This is a very common use case, as we use a "status" field, set to "open" or "closed" to track problems. When a problem is resolved, we will go to the "list" display, set it to "threaded", "select" the thread, and then edit it, to change the status field for all posts in the thread to "closed".

Now, as soon as the "edit" button is clicked, elog crashes. This happens on every thread and logbook that I've tried. The elog logfile itself doesn't show anything useful.

However, if eLog is run with "-v" in place of "-D", it does not crash.

Environment:

CentOS 5.4

eLog 2.8.0 built Aug 5 2010, 12:24:11

I tried to reproduce your problem with following simple configuration file:

[Bergman]
Attributes = Author, Status
Options Status = open, closed
Preset Author = $long_name

The result was that it worked fine (see attachments). Maybe there is another setting in your configuration file which causes the problem. Can you try the simple configuration and see if it still crashes?

Re: Error Message in "Demo of database-like elog"

I attempted to remove the text editor (like you did in "Demo of database-like elog") using "Show text = 0".

In both your Demo and my logbook when you hit "New" - Explorer generates the folowing error message

Error: The Textarea with id or name set to "text" was not found.

Is there a solution or do we just live with it.

Thanks, Mike

Thanks for reporting that bug. I fixed it in SVN revision 2188, and the fix will be contained in the next release.

I am getting the same message in the current version (V2.8.0-2312), if the "Preset text" text body contains the equal sign '='. Then this message pops up and the HTML-editor dosn't show its menu bars, with the elog- or plain text editor this does not happen. It happens as well with firefox as with internet explorer.

best regards

Robert

I found a bug there, but am not 100% sure if it fixed your problem. Can you please try the current SVN version 2331? I made a new intermediate release elog280-4.exe for you.

Re: Elogd service crashes on "reply" with percent character in subject line

Mike Zuber wrote:

My logbook kept crashing whenever I tried to reply to an existing entry. I found that the percent sign "%", when used in the subject line, will crash the elogd service when you try to reply to the entry. This appears to only happen with windows installations. I tested this on your Linux logbook and it didn't crash.

Here is the message taken from the Windows event viewer after the crash:
An unhandled win32 exception occurred in elogd.exe [5224].

Thank you for Elog, you have done a good job with it. It is a great logbook.

Mike

I could not reproduce your problem. I tried the very simple config file:

[Demo]
Attributes = Author, Subject

and the problem did not occur (see attachment). Can you try the most recent version (elog280-4.exe) with this simple configuration. Maybe you have a more complicated configuration which causes the problem. In that case please send it to me, so that I can reproduce the problem.
