> Synchronization with SSL does not yet work. I have to find some time to implement it. Since you are already the second one mentioning this, it slipped higher on my to-do list
Please make this 3. We (Daya Bay experiment) are just starting to set up Elog and will really want this feature!
Thanks.

I asked this before learning about mirroring which sounds like a good thing if we can make it work with SSL. |

I acknowledge that mirroring through SSL is highly requested, I will try to do my best to implement it. Doing it with version control on the back-end files is not such a good idea. After each synchronization you would have to restart the elogd servers, since they don't realize if the files got changed "under their feet". Furthermore, if you have changes on both sides on different entries for the same day, you have a conflict which you have to solve manually with an editor on the raw files. The elog synchronization works on the entry level, not on the file level. So if two different entries for the same day are changed on both servers, they are combined properly without conflict. Only if the same message got modified on both sides, elog reports a conflict and you have to choose one version or the other. |

Re: Hiding Comments on the Logbook Selection Page, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Mar 24 11:44:10 2009

Hi
I was just wondering if there was a way that the comments for a logbook could be set to be invisible on the Selection page but then displayed once a user has logged in to a particular logbook?
This is required for security purposes. I want a common login page which shows all logbooks, where the logbook names only have meaning for people who know them but then once logged in the comment provides additional information about that logbook.
Thanks
Adam

Ok, I implemented a new option "Hide comments = 1" in SVN revision #2182, which will be included in the next release of elog. |

Re: frequent crashes on SL4, posted by Devin Bougie on Tue Mar 24 15:14:28 2009

Indeed, uploading images over a satellite connection does not crash the development ELOG server available from SVN. Our user was unable to
crash
elogd (or upload an image) and reports "The upload window would complain about an "upstream server", but the site was still there."
Thank you very much for your time and help (with both of the issues reported in this thread).
Sincerely,

I came up with a work-around for the lack of support for mirroring and SSL. You can put Elog behind an Apache proxy. Apache can serve through SSL for normal user access. The Elog server can "hosts allow" localhost and any mirrors and deny all others.
This still leaves the mirroring account subject to sniffing, which could be bad if mirrors are allowed to change content on the master, but it will greatly minimize the potential exposure of passwords. This could even be removed by only allowing localhost and mirroring over SSH tunnels.

Attachment not downloaded when elog is mirrored ?, posted by Franck Sabatie on Tue Mar 31 15:16:58 2009

Hello,
I just mirrored a logbook and noticed attachments are missed.
On another similar note, when an email notification is sent and the post has attachment, the attachment show up in the email BUT there is nothing in them.
Anything special I should know about those attachments ?
Thank you,
F.Sabatié
