Hello

Was playing with elog. I send mail to the persons involved with a elog entrie. This mail produces something like this ( rather default) .

 Logbook: Accelerator  Message ID: 4    Entry time: 05/10/09 21:48:25     In reply to: 3

When I am logged in into elog , clicking on the Message ID 4 or 3 from the mail client , elog is started with the logged in user at that time and it's permissions.  So instead of starting a new elog session ( and getting the guest permission ) I get the permission of the currently logged in user.( Could be the administrator / root) . The process will function correctly i no one is logged in into elog. I've tested this on a local machine, so I cannot say if the same happens when multiple  machines are used. So, maybe it's a bug, maybe it's my testing  configuration. 

Do not know if i explained  the problem clear enough, but is seems something that could be examined.

By the way : thanks for this great and free program. 

 

This is not a bug, this is a feature! Once you log in to ELOG, your credentials are stored in cookies of your local browser. If you access a logbook entry, like via the link you in your email, you still use that credentials. If you clear all cookies of your browser, or log out explicitly from ELOG, then of course you will only get guest access.

 Thanks Stefan

This was probably a buggy bug report. Was just testing things out on a local machine and cookies were send to the local machine. so the mail was using these cookies also.

In Practice this could never happen.

If you look into the documentationa at:

http://midas.psi.ch/elog/adminguide.html#unix

you will see that for Linux (as well asl MacOS) you need the libssl-dev packaged to be installed. There are many ways to install this on MacOS, I personally use the MacPorts distribution:

https://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=library&substr=openssl

Oops!

I think that I must have skipped straight to the MacOS notes instead of reading the linux section properly.

Thanks for the help,

Well, the MacOS section explicitly mentions the MacPorts installation.

I responded too quickly.

I already have openssl installed via macports (this is the "Mac version" of libssl-dev).

Does anyone know where exactly elog is looking for openssl/ssl.h? I have just updated Macports and upgraded to Sierra, so maybe it's been dumped it in a different location.

My macports puts it under

/opt/local/include/openssl/ssl.h

On Sierra Macports install openssl in /opt/local/include/ , but copy it into /usr/local/include. You should able to fix it.

sudo cp -r /opt/local/include/openssl /usr/local/include/
