icon4.gif   Icons for sorted entries, posted by Stefan Siegel on Wed Sep 11 18:44:51 2002 
Hi,

when do a search and then sorting the outcome of the search via clicking on 
an attribute (to sort it in descending or vice versa order) there should an 
icon be displayed (up.gif or down.gif). But the icons could not be found due 
to a wrong path to the gif files: 

/elog/config//themes/default/up.gif 

Be aware of the two slashes!! Should only be one.

Best regards,


Stefan

Dear Friend!,

Only mistake in your file .cfg is   spell mistake "Passwort" in "Passwort 
file = c:\elog\passwd.txt" line. It should "Password file" t=d. 

try some thing like below,

[Log]
Theme = default
Comment = Financial Accounting Bug posting 
Attributes = Resource, Project Name, Task Desc, SDT, EEDT, ACDT, Percent WC, 
Status 
Options Type = Masters, Transactions, Reports
Options Category = Bug, New Feature, Client Requirement, Change
Required Attributes = Author, Type, Bug
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type
Password file =D:\Program Files\ELOG\logpwd.txt
;Self register = 0
Self register = 1

Admin user =sridhar
Menu commands = Back, Login, New, Edit, config, Delete, Reply, Find, Help, 
Logout
Guest user commands = config, admin, Login, logout

Hi

Elog runs now for serveral month without any problem at a Windows 2000 server.
I must change the access rights for all Folders, remove the user everyone and set the
Rights only to defined groups .
Now I can see following Event ID

Event Type: Information
Event Source: ELOG
Event Category: None
Event ID: 0
Date: 20.07.2005
Time: 08:14:24
User: N/A
Computer: SNDSRV1
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ELOG ) cannot be found.
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: Cannot stat() config file; No such file or directory.

My question now. Have someone see the same Problem ?
It this is a access right problem How to set up the access rights for Elog
Elog folders ?

Bye
icon5.gif   kerberos authentication , posted by Szu-Ching Peckner on Mon Aug 20 21:48:08 2012 

Hello, I have

authentication = kerberos

kerberos Realm = xxx

I ran tcpdump and know elogd server did attempt to contact kerberos server. I could run kinit username@realm_name, and klist shows my ticket fine. 

I receive "kerberos error 256: Decrypt integrity check failed. Please check your kerberos configuration" when I entered my password wrong purposely on login page.

I receive "Invalid user name or password!' when I entered my correct password. 

Please advise.

I forgot to mention, I also have Password file line in elogd.cfg file. Because without password file line, I wouldn't get login screen. I know my test account is not in the main.pwd file. I believe elogd does go to kerberos server to compare password. I just don't get why I get invalid username and password when I entered correct password, while kerberos error (expected) when I enter wrong password.  

Authentication = Kerberos

Kerberos Realm = xxx

Password file = main.pwd

 It's resolved.  I read the documentation again, and found out my mistake. I didnt have username defined on password file. 

icon5.gif   show permitted individual logbooks on selection page, posted by Szu-Ching Peckner on Tue Aug 28 22:48:47 2012 

How do I make selection page show only list of logbooks that logged on user has access to? 

Right now, say I have 4 logbooks, and I have access to 2 of them. I turned on Protect Selection page = 1. So when I go to home page, I need to logon first, then I am given selection page. I am given list of 4 logbooks, I can only click into 2, which is expected.  

Instead of given list of 4 logbooks, I would like to know if there is a way to make selection page only contains 2 logbooks which I have access to?

 

 

icon5.gif   secure way to allow users create logbook, posted by Szu-Ching Peckner on Tue Aug 28 23:02:07 2012 

I don't think there is a good secure way so far, but would like to have your opinion. 

If I want user to create logbook for themselves, what's the best way to do it? I guess Execute $attribute = <command> may work, have it write to cfg file, but obviously it impose security problem. Is there a good and secure way to allow user to create logbook themselves?
