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?

Hello,
I would like to notify by email as soon as an entry is created or modified.
I declared my SMTP which uses TLS security.
The following error message appears : Erreur d'envoi de mail via "smtp.xxxx.xxx.xxx.fr": 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first

Is there a solution ?

Thanks,

Does email notification from a Gmail address work? It is noted that port 465 must be used for SSL use? Is this correct :

SMTP host : smtp.gmail.com

SMTP port = 465

SMTP username = monadresse@gmail.com

And, should I enter the password attached to my Gmail email and where?

Thanks in advance.

We upgraded to Elog 2.9.0-2402 and since then mails sent by Elog when posting an item are from the default account, not from the logged in user's mail address.

The configuration is, for the mail part :

Default Email From = Olivier.Callot@cern.ch

Use Email Subject = ELOG Computing Operations - $Subject ($Site - $System - $Production number)

Thanks for telling me which flag/option I have to set to restore the proper mail 'From:' field.

With the recent Elog 2.9.0 rev 2412 the Self Register = 3 option doesn't work as expected: The user is immediately allowed to login. This is not what this option was doing, which is to wait for an approval by the administrator. Can this behaviour be restored, or should I change the value of the Self Register flag? Thanks

port = 8080

 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.

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...

 Dear Stefan, after a long time I managed to get a test setup. The line that creates the misbehaviour is

Guest Menu Commands      = List, Find, Login, Help

which seems inocuous! But with this line a user with inactive account can login without validation. Without this line I get also the proper web page indicating that the account has to be activated when I register as new user.

Another little annoyance: When a user is prevented from login ("The account is currently deactivated") there is NO WAY to login, as any action with Elog tries to use the (non activated) username and password. I can't get back the login page!

Thanks
