Webserver Auth Method and Self Registration, posted by James on Sun Feb 18 11:43:07 2024

Hi there. I have been testing a set-up of elog behind an Apache reverse proxy using the Webserver auth method. Apache has been configured for LDAPS with
Active Directory allowing us to restrict Elogs by AD group, something not able to be done with the LDAP module.
Testing with Elog 3.1.4 (on Windows) and also Elog 3.1.5 (compiled on Ubuntu 20.04) I experience an issue that when the user logs in for the |

How to not expose elog port when running under a reverse proxy, posted by Nicola on Mon Jan 22 08:22:33 2024
|
I am running elog under Apache as explained in the administrator's guide. Everything works fine, butmy IT service complains about the elog port being
publicly exposed, so I have to fix this. As far as I understand when running under a reverse proxy there's no need for the port to be publiuclyexposed,
but I cannot find how to configure the elog server to expose it only locally |

Hi,
as I understand right you can do this in the elogd.cfg via
Interface = 127.0.0.1 |

Let the user decide which columns should be displayed, posted by Sarah Kuckuk on Thu Jan 18 13:56:59 2024

Hello
I was wondering if there is any possibility to let the user decide which columns to show/download in the search results? We have quite a lot
of fields and it would help the usefulness of our elog a lot. |

There is a general display option "List display", but that applies for all users. For the download, you can load the CSV file into a spreadsheet
program and then delete some columns.

Maximum number of attributes, posted by Dr Marta Divall on Mon Jan 8 11:06:49 2024

The maximum number or attributes is 100.
Is it possible to increase this?
Thanks! |

You would have to change the elogd.c code and recompile. At some point you wlll however get crash of elogd with a stack overflow. If you need more than
100 attributes, it becomes anyhow hard to manage, so I would suggest other ways, like adding iformation to the text body etc.
Best, |

Dear Stefan,
Thansk for the super fast response! To keep the stability of the system we will look for a different solution then.
Best, |

In my case, I had a number of attributes which had a varied prefix. For example, "progressed" , which could have no prefix, or prefix
"I", "To be", "Strongly", "Seriously"... and that was true (the same prefixes, or at least many of them) for a
number of attributes. Splitting them into two groups, the prefixes and the action, allowed me to gain more actual attributes without having to recompile. |

To explain the problem, we have silicon chip designs, which we log with an indentifyier, which is the attribute for easy search, as we want to follow
their progress from design thorugh fabrication to testing, involving many people. They are called D_001; D_099...you get it. We have reached the 100, but
maybe it is the est just to create an archive after each 100 design and make a new tab/logbook. Any other suggestions are of course welcome. |

Re: Maximum number of attributes, posted by Stefan Ritt on Mon Jan 8 16:25:05 2024

Why don't you simply create a single attribute "identifier", which then gets a value D_001, ..., D_xxx. You can still use the D_xxx in
full text search.

Or what about the "ticket number" feature? Every new entry thread (sorry, confusing terminology on my part) would
increment the ticket number by one, and there is no limit as far as I am aware. This is all explained in the elogd configuration documentation.

As for my suggestion earlier, now I'm at my computer with working elog. I think that the following four lines (three I guess already there but need
alteration for this) need to appear in your elogd.conf file. The first three should also include any other thing you need to display etc. I've
cut this down to the bear bones, and ... means anything else you want to add. |

Restricting entries view by user, posted by Leonardo Tacconi on Thu Nov 2 11:38:36 2023
|
Good morning,
I would like to ask you whether it is feasible to establish a logbook that limits access to entries, enabling each user to view only their own.
Although creating a logbook per user is an apparent solution, it does not meet my requirements. |
|
Re: Restricting entries view by user, posted by Stefan Ritt on Thu Nov 2 11:46:42 2023

No, this is not possible with the current version of Elog, so indeed everybody needs their own logbook.

Keeping the global and individual logbooks in sync is not possible. So indded my proposal is a cumbersome solution in your case. We do have "restrict
edit" which lets users only edit their own entries, but we do not have "restrict view". Maye some thought for a future version of elog.

Cannot send Emails, posted by John on Mon Oct 23 20:35:54 2023
|
Hello, my sending of emails was working a while back but I have not checked on it in a few months and found out I am getting authentication errors sending
to my MTA (mailer). I was using a base64 to encode the pw but now my mailer (gandi.net) rejects it. Has anything changed over the last couple of years
with Elogs code that would be affecting this? I just upgraded (Linux) and changed my testing grounds to non-production and the same problem exists. |
|
Re: Cannot send Emails, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Oct 24 08:12:38 2023

ELOG has not change in the last years in that respect, but I know that mailer get more and more picky about encryption etc. So you probably have to convince
your mailer to accept the pw as it comes from ELOG, or do not require a pw for that specific client.

read-only elog server, posted by Germano Massullo on Mon Oct 23 15:20:32 2023

Good day. I am writing this post to ask how I can turn an elog website into a read-only version that will stay online for historical documention purposes.
I tried to search on Elog documentation but I had no success
Thank you and have a nice day |

Use
Menu commands = List, Find, Help
to remove all command which let you create or edit entries (New, Reply, Edit, ...) |

Fail to upload enclosure in ELOG , posted by Laurent Jean-Rigaud on Mon Jan 16 20:18:12 2023

Hi,
I currently testing last ELOG version from git in a docker with LDAP activated (https://hub.docker.com/r/usinagaz/elog-ldap). The goal is to
use it on Synology NAS server, associated with local LDAP server. |

Ok, i reply to myself as i could resolve the problem by changing the alpine Linux image to Debian light.
After debugging, the problem seems to be the compilation option used for alpine packets, which is not fully compatible when running on NAS Intel
cpu. |
