Have you set

Resolve host names = 1

in the config file? If it still does not work, run "elogd -v" from the terminal and watch the output. You should see someting like:

Remote host "mpc1865.psi.ch" matches "ALL" in "Hosts deny". Access denied.
Remote host "mpc1865.psi.ch" matches ".lbl.gov" in "Hosts allow". Access granted.

 

Regards,
Stefan

Hi Susan,
the documentation states that you should start elogd with the -v option from the command line and look at the output. Did you try this?
You might post the output here to get further help.
Cheers

Hi All,

We're still having trouble with hosts.allow and hosts.deny.

We're trying to allow all of our domain  lbl.gov to the access list

for our logbooks.  But the combination below is not working.

==========================

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov
Hosts deny = ALL

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts deny = ALL

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov

========================
Can someone help?

Susan James wrote:

thanks for your quick reply.

the configuration is still not working.  See my entry below which denies everyone.

I've tried many different combinations of 'hosts allow and hosts deny'

we want to restrict all our logbooks to only domain lbl.gov

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov
Hosts deny = ALL

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts deny = ALL

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov
 

Can you help?

Hi Susan,

according to the documentation you need to add "Hosts deny = All" in addition to the "Hosts allow" command.
Here is the relevant excerpt from the documentation (https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#access).
Cheers
Andreas
  • Hosts allow = <list>
  • Hosts deny = <list>

These two settings can be used to restrict the access to the logbook to certain computers. It is similar to the UNIX hosts.allow and hosts.deny files. The list can consist of individual host names or IP numbers, subnet masks like 123.213. (note the trailing '.') or .mit.edu, or the word All. The following rules are applied:

  • Access will be granted when a host matches a pattern in "hosts allow".
  • Otherwise, access will be denied when a host matches a pattern in "hosts deny".
  • Otherwise, access will be granted.

These rules are applied before any password is checked. To debug problems, start elogd with the "-v" flag, in which case the rule checking is printed on the screen.

Tooltips on 'ROptions' work since 2007, but your version 2.9.2 is pre-2007, so you should consider to upgrade.

Stefan, I know this request was a long time ago on an older version of E-Log (which we are still using) but can you tell me if Tooltips on Radio Buttons was ever implemented, it's not working on our version (2.92.2)?
Working as it should on MOptions?

I can't seem to get the Tooltips to show up using the 'ROptions' (radio buttons) though? Could you check if it is available for this please?


Did I tell that it also works with 'ROptions' ??? It does not! I implemented this just now in revision 1788. The fix will be contained in the next release.

Safety is getting more and more an issue these days. Normal browsers don't accept self-signed certificates any more. One possibility is to get a certificate from https://letsencrypt.org/

Hello there,

Can anyone point out to me how I can avoid the unsafe browsing when accessing our local ELOG?  
Browsing with chrome and always getting the unsafe browsing page. One has to go through the advanced
button to continue ...

I once had my setup with SSL certificate (local signed, not through the CA) but I somehow cannot get it
to work anymore.   Just create a local certificate and copy the certificates to all browsers that access the ELOG site, no?

Anyway, a small guide would be great.

There are two options

  • Wrap the "elog" command line tool 
  • Use "curl". Ther is a PycURL library http://pycurl.io/docs/latest/ which can be used, so you don't have to call any command line tool. The usage of curl is described in elog:68597

Dear elog community,

I wonder whether there is a python3 api or lib to generate and append entries (and attachments) to the logbook using scripts.
However, so far I did not find anything...

At the moment I am thinking about wrapping the "elog" command line tool.

Is there something usable already out there?

Thanks and regards
Markus

Have a look here: https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/py_elog

I haven't tried it myself, but it should allow you to add, reply, edit, delete elog entries from python (>= 3.5) via the http elog interface. It's an anaconda package.

This error comes from your email SMTP server, not from elog. It complains about the email address xxx@xxx.com which refers to a nonexisting domain. Just read the message.

The following error occured during the addition of new user, first time this occured:

"Cannot send email notification to "xxx@xxx.com" Sender address rejected: Domain not found

Please use your browser's back button to go back

 

We are using version 2.7.1-2002. Could this be a version issue? When we loaded the new version, the browser GUI was scrambled and illegible using Microsoft Edge/Explorer and Firefox.

Drafts are message which somebody started to edit, but did not complete, like leaving the page without saving. If you don't like this, you can set "save drafts = 0".

The locking has a similar background. If you have locking on (vis "Use lock = 1"), then one person can "lock" a message, and other then cannot edit the same message. If you don't want that, switch locking off.

Best,
Stefan

Dear elog community,

We have a problem with elog V3.1.2-bd75964.
Sometimes entries disappear from the list after editing.
I found them in the .log files with attributes

Locked by:
Draft:

But they are not in the list anymore!
The only solution by now is manually remove these two attributes from the file,
but this is terrible.

How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Peter.
