How do I enable SSL with port 443 in version ELOG V2.7.8-2294 and rename from localhost?

Server is running Windows 2008

We got http://servername:8080 to work and on the network just fine..

but everytime we try to change the port to 443 in global we cant get anything with https:// working 

port = 443

ssl = 1

url = https://servername

how do you customize the elog.exe or elogd for windows enviorment to listen on port 443 with specific hostname. please give an example.

Thanks...

how do I compile elogd with USE_SSL=1?

You normally don't need to specify "URL = xxx" at all. It is only needed if you work with a Proxy that changes the normal ELOG URL. And yes, you'll need "Port = 433" and "SSL =1".

And elogd must be compiled with USE_SSL=1, maybe that's your problem?

In addition you should buy a valid SSL certificate. Otherwise every user needs to acknowledge an exception for your invalid SSL certificate.

HI Guys,

Can you please give me an idea how will I write in the config. I want my elog will be accessed via internet. Though there's a tutorial / guideline, I need an actual config file for me to easily grasp how the URL = xxx should be write. Do my port should be Port = 433 and SSL=1?

Thanks,

By the Makefile i belive you are refering to the elogd.cfg? if not what file do I have use?

I have added

port = 443

ssl = 1

Without sucess.

I then tried

port = 443

use_ssl = 1

still no sucess.

I cant find any file that has "#USE_SSL =1" that I can uncomment. I am using an older version of ELOG (ELOG278-2)  reading all the documentation I cant seem to figure it out.

I also configured elogd to listen on port 443

Opened a CMD window and entered >elogd -p 443

Says listening on port 443 but still not working.

On the most curent version of ELOG 3.1.0 I just modify the elogd.cfg added ssl = 1 and change the port to 443 and everthing works as advertised. I do the same on this version and I cant get it working. I could really use some help. Thanks for the fast response.

Very easy: uncomment the line USE_SSL=1 in the Makefile and then compile.

You'll need of course a gcc compiler on your Windows system, a makefile environment, SSL libraries, etc.. If you don't have that: ask you local administrator.

Is there a way to enforce password complexity for users?

Either in this version of elog or the newest version?

Hi Andreas, I'm working on the same experiment as Joseph who submitted the bug report.

You are right, IDs greater than 10^5 are created no problem. The issue is with the internal elog link, in this case of the form elog:SequencerEvents/XXXXX  The link generated uses only the first 5 digits of the message ID, and therefore links to the wrong message. In the two attachments you can see our sequencer event number 100098, first displaying the message where all of the ID is displayed and secondly in "full" view of the elog front page. Here, the "ID" column contains a link with the string: elog:SequencerEvents/10009. Our problem is that we often use this string to paste into other elogs and generate a link to the sequencer event message. However, since the string uses too few digits, we end up with a link to the wrong message

I am not sure I understand your bug report.

I can easily create IDs greater than 100'000 (see attached picture), but that is not your problem, or is it?

Cheers, Andreas

68792/1 Illistrates the problem, we use this ID often to cross reference from out datalog...

Is this a know bug we can find a fix for? We are using:  elogd 2.9.2 built Jul 14 2015, 18:58:06 revision

ah yes, that was a helpful clue. Our elogd.cfg file led me to a .js file which redefines the ID to the elog:SequencerEvents/XXXXX format and it indeed had a silly hard coded length of that string.

Since I am pretty sure this is our code, I think it is safe to say that this is not a bug in the elog

Andreas Luedeke wrote:

Well, in my example the ID link worked just fine.

There could be a string length limitation, but it could be as well the way you are creating the ID that is the source of the problem: I would need the part of your elogd.cfg that defines how you format your ID in order to try to reproduce your problem.

Cheers, Andreas

icon5.gif   outdated debian package, posted by Chris Körner on Fri Dec 18 18:08:54 2020 

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to setup elog as a docker container. I wonder if there is any reason why the elog debian package is stuck at version 3.1.3? Would it be possible to update it to the latest version? 

 

Thanks very much!
