This was working in previous versions, i.e. the entry was not created at all. And login wasn't possible.
We went back to 2.8.0 as the server is regularly crashing with 2.9.0 and we have to keep it alive for our running experiment. We are trying to isolate and reproduce the problem...

Try to use the simple config file, and see what happens there. Maybe it's a config option you use differently in the experiment. If you identify the config option which triggers the problem, I can probably reproduce it and fix it. Concerning crashes of 2.9.0: We have it running stably for our experiments, that's why I released it. But there are major changes since 2.8.0, mainly the Kerberos authentification (actually people from CERN asked for that). So it could be that in your case there are problems I don't see. In that case you have to test with which options in the config file the problems start. If elogd crashes, a stack dump would maybe also be helpful for me. |

Are you sure about that (maybe used an older revision of elogd where this indeed was a problem?). The current V2.9.0-2412 gives me this:

If I then log in as the admin user, I see the configuration of the new user, but the account is not activated:

So the user cannot log in. The config file is:
[global]
port = 8080
password file = passwd
smtp host = mail.psi.ch
Self register = 3
Admin user = stefan
[demo1]
Attributes = Project, Category
Can you double check?

HI Stefan,
I tried again and confirm the version number. I never got this pannel saying that my request will be processed by an adminstrator. Maybe the installation was incomplete? Is this pannel outside the standard src files? I receive the mail as administrator, but the accout is already valid BEFORE I validate it.

I haven't tried openvas, but added a check for the negative content-length you have in the request
above in SVN revision 2413. Can you try if it still crashes?

It is very good to have Kerberos authentication available. It is just the error message which is a bit cryptic.
If you enter your Kerberos password once, and later fail to authenticate with a wrong password, you get:
Kerberos error:
Decrypt integrity check failed.
Please check your Kerberos configuration
That is not really urgent!

Can you tell me how to reproduce this? If I do it here, I just get back to the login page:

Maybe it has to do with your specific Kerberos implementation? What server are you using?
|
I am sorry but I cannot reproduce this any more. It happened several times when I was testing different kinds of wrong user input to the authentication dialog but now there is no issue any longer. However, there has been other issues lately in this domain and it may be that the Kerberos installation has been patched by our automatic update installation.
Case closed! Thanks anyway for responding.

Hi Terry,
it is not exactly clear to me what you want.
You can define many different types of attributes to an entry.
Like this logbook has "Icon", "Author", "Author Email", "Category", ...
That automatically creates a form for the input.
Or you can have some pre-filled text in the text area, like a pre-defined table.
E.g. with the following line:
Preset Text = input-form.html
Every new entry will now contain the content of the file input-form.html
which could be some table or list, ...
|
Thank you very much for your replies Stefan and Andreas!
I've played with the Preset Text = input-form.html however when I open a new form it just has text in there stating "input-form.html. I feel like I'm missing a way for the Configuration to find my html file.
I feel like I am close but I'm missing one piece of data. Here is what I'd like to have, when I click "New" I'd like this table to be automatically inserted in the body.

If you see only the file name it means that elogd cannot find the file, it's probably in the wrong directory. Have you put it into the "logbooks" directory? Like c:\Program Files\ELOG\logbooks\ ?
|
Yes thanks Stefan! It is working now.
Thanks again! |
