In a configuration with elog running (8080) under Apache (80) [as explained in admin guide], what is the syntax for tunnelling in with ssh, of both the ssh command and the browser locator?

Hello,

I'm not able to authenticate to a logbook using my text based browser links, so I've started investigating with wget hoping solving the problem one will lead to a solution for the other.  I've seen some examples on how to use wget to parse logbook entries in this forum, but my attempts keep returning the login page.  Any advice would be helpful and appreciated.  Here are a couple of the command line arguments I've tried:

wget --save-cookies cookie.txt --keep-session-cookies -d "http://hostname/LOGBOOK?unamee=YYY&upassword=XXX" -O elog.txt

wget --save-cookies cookie.txt --keep-session-cookies -d --post-data="redit=&uname=YYY&upassword=XXX&remember=1" -e robots=off "http://hostname/LOGBOOK" -O elog.txt

After these executions, my cookies.txt file remains empty.  Running subsequent command with "--load-cookies=cookies.txt" still points me to the login page.

Many Thanks,

Chris 

 I'm having some confusion with configuring my logbook.  In the global section of the logbook I have the quick filter enabled, but it is not a drop down list, only an editable text field:

I think it is an attributes issue, but I'm having some trouble making sense of those from the syntax page.  Here is my config file:

[global]

port = 8080

usr = vulcanstaff

Max content length = 1073741824

Menu commands = New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Find, Last day, Move to, Copy to, Import, Help

RSS Title = $subject, posted by $author on $entry time

RSS Entries = 10

Quick filter = Date, Subject, Subtext

Use Lock = 1

Reverse sort = 1

Required Attributes = Author, Subject

[Experiment_Logbook]

Theme = default

Comment = Experiment Logbook

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Type, Category, Subject

Options Type =  Other

Options Category = Start Up

Extendable Options =Category

Page Title = $Subject

Hello, I have

authentication = kerberos

kerberos Realm = xxx

I ran tcpdump and know elogd server did attempt to contact kerberos server. I could run kinit username@realm_name, and klist shows my ticket fine. 

I receive "kerberos error 256: Decrypt integrity check failed. Please check your kerberos configuration" when I entered my password wrong purposely on login page.

I receive "Invalid user name or password!' when I entered my correct password. 

Please advise. 

I would like to set up the text are as a template. The documentation indicates this can be done however I am unable to find reference to how it is accomplished.

How do I make selection page show only list of logbooks that logged on user has access to? 

Right now, say I have 4 logbooks, and I have access to 2 of them. I turned on Protect Selection page = 1. So when I go to home page, I need to logon first, then I am given selection page. I am given list of 4 logbooks, I can only click into 2, which is expected.  

Instead of given list of 4 logbooks, I would like to know if there is a way to make selection page only contains 2 logbooks which I have access to?

I don't think there is a good secure way so far, but would like to have your opinion. 

If I want user to create logbook for themselves, what's the best way to do it? I guess Execute $attribute = <command> may work, have it write to cfg file, but obviously it impose security problem. Is there a good and secure way to allow user to create logbook themselves?

Dear all,

Is it possible to have a dynamic "preset text" option?

I would like to switch the template file depending on the attribute value. (Of course this attribute values will be a fixed list of options, not extandable). 

I see there one difficulty, that: if user already started editing the text body, he could lose this data. But I think that this could be left on user responsibility to take care about it.

Another option could be to always insert the template text on the very beginning of the text body.

Is this feature implemented, or maybe someone have done it by changing the server code?

Cheers
