Dear All,

we are trying to post from an HTML form, as included in our config file :

[ShiftCheck]
Comment = Shift Check List (exemple a modifier)
Attributes = Author, D, M, Y, Shift, LasE, LasIris, Q, E, Li, TL, RI
Quick filter = Shift, Author
Options Shift = Morning, Evening, Night

Enable attachments = 0
Show text = 1
Custom new form = /www/Web/htdocs/elog/sites/THOMX/shiftcheck.html
Custom edit form =  /www/Web/htdocs/elog/sites/THOMX/shiftcheck.html
Custom display form =  /www/Web/htdocs/elog/sites/THOMX/shiftcheck.html

we are facing the following problem when trying to submit :

--> Error: Command "Submit" not allowed

is there something missing in our config file ?

Many thanks in advance

Probably people have to log in to the logbook before opening the form. I guess the "submit not allowed" comes from the fact that they access the logbook as a guest.

Dear Stefan,

that is strange since I logged in ... 

It seems like when I go in the shift check topic in the elog, it does not get my login id ... is there something coming from the HTML file that should be set in order to get the login from elog ?

Dear Stefan,

see in the attached image : I am logged in but I still need to feed the Author item. And even If I fill it, 

And then if I Click on new to write a new filling form, author is not filled as you could see on the second image "Author ?"  ...

so I don' see from where appears the problem

Hi,

I use some CSS for each elog to resize column correcly and it seems that current ELOG version 3.14 available from EPEL for EL7 has a problem (maybe others also).

The browser console displays an error when loading ELOG logbook page (french locale ):

La feuille de style https:/xxxxx.xxx.xx/elog/MCO/1130_171749_REUNION_20221130_Q01.jpgelog-mco.css n’a pas été chargée car son type MIME, « text/html », n’est pas « text/css ».

It seems ELOG server send the css link with enclosure path (https:/xxxxx.xxx.xx/elog/MCO/1130_171749_REUNION_20221130_Q01.jpg) + css file (elog-mco.css) ?!?

I tryed to rebuild the last source from git under EL7 but it fails with LDAP libs (C++ regression already reported in elog:forum/69478). :-(

Thanks for help.

Laurent

Hi Stefan,

It seems buildrpm should be updated to take care of cpp files. Plz replace "cp <blahblah>.c ..." by "cp <blahblah>.cxx ..." .

Also, uncomment the hostname test witch activates all authentification options by default. It should be done by adding options as follow : buildrpm ver rel -ldap -ker ...

By default, i can not build elog with LDAP.

After that mods, rpms are builded under EL7 (w/o LDAP support which is not useful for me).

Bye

Laurent

Update : i tryed with last git, w/o ldap support and it seems the problem is solved with CCS URL on same machine (just replace the elogd binary from EPEL by new one just build w/o LDAP support and fallback on File to login for testing).

So my problem is the error during build with LDAP auth (since using C++) :-(

Updated :

1. from google (https://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201104/msg00030.html), it seems it's necessary to add before "#include ldap.h" in src/auth.cxx

#define LDAP_DEPRECATED 1

2. A cast must be added to src/auth.cxx:593 as already done somewhere with C++ commit :

         if (get_user_line(lbs, (char *) user, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL) == 2) {
 

-> elogd builds now with ldap :-) .

I installed elogd binary and i could login and the css url problem is gone.

Thanks to update auth.cxx (2 mods) and buildrpm (2 mods) in git (sorry, no pull request).

NB : PAM can not be activated under EL7 with same type of error. I disabled the feature as i do not use it.

> elogd binary from EPEL

thank you for bringing this up to our attention. we recently went through this with debian and ubuntu. the elog package was severely out of date and 
did not include the security patches that went it right before covid started in the Winter of 2020.

the elogd package in EPEL7 is insecure and should not be used. (I see it is removed from EPEL8, EPEL9 and current Fedora).

I will have to contact EPEL maintainers to have it removed from EPEL7 (or at least to have it marked as "insecure, do not use").
