I tried to reproduce your problem, but without success. I only have to login once.
So can you please check how your cookies are set? Under Mozilla Firefox, enable
prompting for cookies (Tools/Options/Privacy/Cookies/Keep kookies=ask me every
time, IE must have similar switch). Each cookie contains a path, for which it
will be sent to the elogd in the future. Since you have your password files in
the [global] sections, they are valid for the whole set of logbooks and the path
is therefre "/". This means of course that the browser also tries to send the
cookies to the logbooks in the other top groups, since in the URL path they are
all next to each other (like "/Work+Requests", "/Completed+Work+Requests").
With the cookie prompting enabled, you can check which cookie gets set for which
directory. You should see a cookie "unm" for username, "upwd" for the encrypted
password and "urem" for the "Remember me" button. If the cookie contents is
empty, the cookie will be removed.
So carefully check the sequence of setting and resetting of cookies, trying to
figure out what goes wrong. It is a good idea for a starting point to delete all
your cookies.

First, you need version 2.3.4 or later, second, you need a "password file =
xxx" entry in your elogd.cfg to turn on user-level password access. If both
is true and you still don't succeed, send me your elogd.cfg.

I do have one problem for some reason we have to login twice in order to submit a new entree in
the log. I do have a guest account setup so when we click logon the logon page pops up and you
type in username and password and enter. Then main page pops up and you are still in the guest mode.
Click on logon again and enter everything again and this you get in the edit mode.
I hope you can me with this. |

I tried with your config file and it worked fine. So can you tell me:
- At what URL do you access your logbook? Do you just type http://localhost:8080 or anything else
- Do you use any proxy or stunnel?
- What is the URL in your browser showing on the first and second login?
You might want to consider to put a URL = http://<your host>:8080/ into your config file. |

Your questions that you ask me help me out.
What I was doing was typing in the URL was http://pdls:8080 and it took me the pass down log. When I went to login into Elog took me back to the log but the URL read http://pdls.pwfl.com:8080 so when I log in the second time I was to be the edit mode. So I guess I should have typing in the URL http://pdls.pwfl.com:8080.
Thanks again for your help |
