Hello to @all

First please let me say that I'm a complete green-horn when it comes to linux

I'm running elog on a linux virtual server and would like to use kerberos authentication. If I set 'Authentication = Kerberos' in the elogd.cfg file I get,

If I set 'Authentication = Kerberos, File' it works fine. I hope this is just some error on my part.

thanks,

Is Kerberos set up correctly on your PC? What is the Kerberos Realm? Does the command "kinit <your user name>" work correctly? If not, you have to install and configure Kerberos correctly. Make sure to have USE_KRB5 turned on in your Makefile. 

 Thanks for the quick reply!

I downloaded and installed the latest RPM. Is Kerberos used in the RPM? The command "kinit xxxxxxx"requests my password and then returns to the prompt. I believe that the virtual server is a normal PSI linux, but I'm not 100% sure

Kerberos is not used in the RPM. You have to compile yourself from the tar ball.

Arno Teunisse wrote:

Hello

Want a hyperlink in one of the attributes like this : http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl#subject

In this way I should be able to redirect to a certain part of the html that the perl script is generating. When I setup this manually it works. ( typing directly the html link into the attribute )

 
When I put the html link into elog config file it will never show up the correct format : everything after the '#' is translated into the digit 1. ( So you get  http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl1 . ) 

I tried to escape with \# used quoting " and '. No luck.  Tried to use the &#97; , No luck. 

I've tested with several versions of elog but it seems that it has never worked. 

Allow HTML = 1 dit not work for me.

Has it to do with the autoincrement  ? ( Subst Number = XYZ-##### ) I think so because of the 1 that is returned if i use a http link . When I use the same link  http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl#subject a second time i'll get back :
http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl2 . So it seems that the auto increment feature plays a role in this one. 

 

Can this be done in the attributes of elog.? Can I have a # in a hyperlink ?

Nobody needed such a functionality so far. I implemented it for you in SVN revision 2449. So you can simply escape it like "\#"

Thanks for reporting that bug. I fixed it in SVN revision 2448.

Thanks for reporting this bug. I fixed it in SVN revision 2447.
