"Subst xxx" replaces after you submit an entry, while "Preset xxx" replaces before you create an entry. I believe you want the second one.

Hello,
what are the pre-requisites to automatically fill the Author and Author Email fields. The documented method:
Subst Author = $long_name from $remote_host
Subst Email = $user_email
in the elogd.cfg file does not seem to work.
(I see it works here on this platform)

Re: segfault in auth.c:366, posted by Sebastian Schenk on Fri Apr 23 15:46:39 2021

Hi Mr. Holman,
The problem you are facing is more likely the issue, that the LDAP method is only provided as-is from a different developer.
I had a similar issue with the LDAP of my university.
I can't remember the correct error messages, but it looks similar, which arises from the used c library for LDAP.
The LDAP connection response can have 2 different variable types and only one of them is implemented in the elog, the other one crashes the elog with segfault.
I could fix it with this patch:
https://bitbucket.org/merrx/elog/commits/5a75fdb3e0b723380dae73bb57653946ed72690c
Obviously you have to adapt "displayName" and "postOfficeBox" to represent the name and email attributes of your LDAP structure.
I didn't made a PR for this commit, because it would break the current LDAP implementation, i assume.
Best wishes,
Sebastian

Well, if you find a solution with works for everybody, I'm happy to commit it to the main repository. But unfortunately I cannot test it because I don't have LDAP here, so I'm flying blind.

Hi,
Maybe it could be useful to add new parameters in elogd.cfg to define the attribute name to use to retrieve the given name, login name and email from LDAP server.
By example :
LDAP email attribute = mail
LDAP surname attribute = id
LDAP givename attribute = gn
So users can define them according to their exotic LDAP schema ;-)

Re: How to make personal ELOG to public, posted by Frank Baptista on Mon Apr 26 16:14:49 2021

Hello Hien,
If you are sharing ELOG with users on the same network, here's something you can try. First, on the machine running ELOG, you need to find the "Computer name". To do this, locate "This PC", and right click it to get to "Properties" in the drop-down menu. You need to jot down the "Computer name". Now, users on the same network should be able to view ELOG by entering the following:
http://computer-name:(port number)
If you are using port 80 (instead of the default 8080) for ELOG, then there is no need to enter the port number.
Give that a try -- that is working well for us.
Cheers!
Frank

Re: Real-time mirroring?, posted by Sebastian Schenk on Mon Apr 26 16:41:50 2021

Hello Frank,
It seems, you are using the mirror function of elog. It should resolve conflicts by itself acording to the documented rules. (https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html)
As I don't use this function, I can't say how good it works.
If you don't want to use this function, I would suggest using the "Execute new | edit | delete" feature to trigger a script after each change of elog entries.
This script could itself run "rsync" or your sync solution to make the sync and
should afterwards call "killall -HUP elogd" on the remote to let elog re-read the config (and this sould also update the indices)
(see Server Configuration https://elog.psi.ch/elog/adminguide.html)
If you have a sync-solution, which itself permanently observes folders for changes and syncs it by itself,
It should have the option to run a command after sucessful sync or you need an other method to call "killall -HUP elogd" after sync.
Personally I would recommend the mirror function as it has a internal conflict resolution.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Sebastian
PS: I don't know anything about your setup, but maybe there is a solution, where you don't need the local servers.
As I think, the mirror function is mainly for backup reasons of a main server to a secondary one or similar.

Hello!
We have a number of local ELOG servers, all mirrored to a single "remote" ELOG server. We have users that create updates at the local server, and some at the remote server, which can run the risk of record conflicts. Right now, the local servers perform a "Mirror cron" every 5 minutes, but even that leaves the door open to potential conflicts.
I found an open-source JAVA-based app called DirSync Pro (https://www.dirsyncpro.org/) which is capable of performing real-time mirroring, and has conflict handling. I "took it for a spin", and it does do what it claims. However, because each ELOG server performs record "indexing", it doesn't recognize records that aren't part of the current list of records. Restarting the ELOG server obviously corrects that, but I was wondering if there is another way to get the server to recognize newer "remotely-generated" records without restarting the server.
As always, I'm appreciative for the outstanding working that has been done to make ELOG the great application that it is!

Re: Real-time mirroring?, posted by Frank Baptista on Fri Apr 30 20:29:45 2021

Hi Sebatian,
Thank you for taking the time to answer...very much appreciated!
Although I'm running Windows OS, I do understand your approach, and will work on an analogous solution.
Our setup is interesting -- we're running many temperature chambers, each one having a dedicated computer running a unique instance of ELOG, each of which is regularly updated to let users know what the progress is for the lengthy temperature testing. All of these individual logbooks regularly synchronize to a common 'mirror' ELOG server, which shows all the logbooks in one location. Users can view all the logbooks on one screen, by connecting to the mirror server. Since this can be done remotely, it also makes it convenient to add "updates" remotely to the mirror server, which eventually synchronizes with each individual computer at the temperature chambers. As you might imagine, if there is a user doing an update at the temperature chamber computer while another user enters an update remotely to the mirror server, there is a chance of having a record conflict.
I was trying to avoid conflicts by having real-time mirroring, where a change on either end is detected and immediately "synchronized", thereby reducing or eliminating conflicts.
In any case, if I do come up with a good solution for Windows, I'll be sure to share what I did.
Cheers,
Frank
