| Owen LaGarde | olagarde@gmail.com | Question | Linux | 2.7.8 | honor "user" field in the Apache SSL request object or environment variables in SSL process groups? |
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? |

| Dennis Seitz | dseitz@berkeley.edu | Bug report | All | 2.7.8 | Elog v2.7.8 does not show substituted attributes while editing or replying |
Since we updated to 2.7.8 we've found a problem.
Previously, when we used
Subst on reply subject = Re: $subject
The new "Re: " text would appear in the "subject" field while the user was editing their reply, and they could edit or delete it.
Since 2.7.8, however, it does not appear while editing, but shows up only after the user submits their entry. We would prefer that this appears while the user is editing, because in some cases we want the users to have the option to modify this text. Was this intentional? Is there a way to restore the previous functionality?
Thank you! |

| Mike Zuber | mdz0739@yahoo.com | Bug report | Windows | 2.8 | Elogd service crashes on "reply" with percent character in subject line |
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.

I just typed a long text into this elog, clicked "submit" and it bombed with "you must select an Icon", returned me to the editor with all my text gone gone gone. I do not want to select icons, I just want to report a problem with elog. Well, 2 problems, now.
K.O.

Well, first RTFM: "Fields marked with a * are required" on top of the elog entry page. Then, use a reasonable browser on a reasonable OS
On Google Chrome the text is still there (actually I just tried it with this entry). No idea what Safari under OSX does. Under Windows, Safari keeps the text. Actually this is controlled by the FCKEditor inside elog which is written by someone else. So complain there! Funny: We have about 1000+ entries in this forum, and you are the first one complaining about this. |

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Linux | 2.8.0 | Re: elog keeps recreating preview .png files? |
Kontantin Olchanski wrote: |
Hi, I rsync an elog database from CERN to TRIUMF every few months and I notice that rsync keeps copying preview files (xxx.png.png, xxx.gif.png, etc) from very old entries. I guess that elogd creates these files from scratch each time they are needed, overwriting any previously existing preview files. This creates extra rsync network traffic and rsync takes longer to complete. Is there any way to avoid this? K.O.

Actually the thumbnail files are only created if they are not there. This is done in the function crate_thumbnail():
i = get_thumb_name(file_name, str, sizeof(str), 0);
if (i)
return i;
So if these files are recreated always, something must be wrong there. Or you sysadmin runs a cron job which deletes them every evening  |

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Info | All | 2.8.0 | Re: Important security update of ELOG |
Stefan Ritt wrote: |
Dear ELOG users,
this is to announce an important security update. As proposed by Lukasz Olejnik (CERN/PSNC), ELOG has now switched to strong encryption of password. So everybody concerned in security is advised to update to the new version 2.8.0. Existing password files for Windows users and Linux users not using HAVE_CRYPT are automatically converted. Those installations which used HAVE_CRYPT in the past under Linux have to ask their users to re-enter their password (via the link "Forgot password") after the upgrade to version 2.8.0.
Best regards,
Stefan Ritt

I just realized that the command line elog utility did not yet use the new encryption. So automatic elog submissions using passwords are broken in version 2.8.0. I made an intermediate version 2.8.0-2 which fixes that. However you only need to update it if you use the elog utility and have problems with the 2.8.0 version. |
