  68587   Wed Mar 29 14:48:40 2017 Question John Beckerj.becker@airportaruba.comQuestionLinux3.12Elog stopped working

Dear all,

 

I have elog version 3.12-bd75964 installed on an Ubuntu OS. We started working with it yesterday and today I was informed that the users could not connect to the elog. When I tried it was also not possible to get to the elog website. After restarting the Ubuntu machine everything was back to normal.

Is there a log I can check to find out why the elog stopped working?

 

Regards,

 

John

Hi,
  we are running an elogd (with SSL) server on a machine and using apache as a proxy.

The authentication to the apache server is managed via LDAP module directly by apache, while, so far, we have no authentication enabled in the elogd server itself.
So, when a used want to access the elog server, he is required to provide user/pwd by apache, and then he can access the elogs.

We would like to use the elog command line to transit entries automatically from a terminal from a different host.

the command line we are trying is:

echo "Test" | elog -v -h elog.belle2.org -a Author="stefano" -a Type="Other" -l elog -s demo -u username password  -p 443

where username password are registered into LDAP.

In response we have a 401 Unauthorized. The full return message is at the end of this message.

I suspect that the "username password" we pass to elog are supposed to be that of elogd, not that of apache/ldap: I don't know if this is the case.

Does anyone have an idea how to make this work?

Thanks in advance,
  Stefano

Hm, maybe my question is silly, but why don't you just use the "Duplicate" command instead of renaming and misusing "Copy to"??

Here is the relevant excerpt from the documentation (https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#general):

Menu commands = <list>
This option specifies the menu commands displayed on top of a single logbook page. For certain installations, it can be useful to disable some commands. Following commands are possible:

  • New - Enter new logbook entry
  • Edit - Edit current logbook entry
  • Delete - Delete current logbook entry
  • Reply - Submit a reply to current entry
  • Duplicate - Duplicate the current entry with the possibility to change some values
  • [...]
  • Copy to - Copy entry to other logbook
  • [...]

The commands are always in English, independent of the language = ... setting, and are automatically translated into the specified language.
If this option is not present, following default is used:

Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Help

Hi !

I do have an setup were I would like to rename the menu command but keeping their fonction. Namely, I would like to rename the "copy to" button to "Duplicate" since thats the option I would like to put in place ( Copy to = Same logbook only).

I tried to do so with css but it is not possible since the button doesn't have a specific id... Would you have another solution ? 

Thanks for your help !

How can i configure eLog to be used completely anonymous without the need to log in?

I tried menu and guest menu settings without luck. I do not use password files. With earlier versions this was easy to set up...

 

Thanks in advance

I'm aware there is the "Show Last Default" setting for the Find page but is there (or can there PLEASE be) a similar setting for the Period filter on the List page? Our users routinely use the Quick Filters instead and it bogs down the system because we have lots of logbooks. Many thanks.

  68629   Sat Jun 10 07:05:24 2017 Question Erkcan Ozcanerkcan@gmail.comBug reportLinuxV3.1.3-aded4aeServer dropping SSL connection while uploading large files

Hi,

I am having trouble with uploading large (>0.5MB) files to elog. We click on upload and in a couple of seconds, the webbrowser complains that the server has dropped the connection.

Following the suggestions I found on these forums (https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/66753), I increased the timeout.tv_sec to 30 in three locations in elogd.c, but this did not help.

The problem is present in my old elog installation (from ~2 years ago), as well as the latest git snapshot from bitbucket that I cloned on June 10, 2017.

PS: Upload seems to work for non-secure configuration. It still takes a while to load, but it completes. However we prefer to use secure connections ( SSL = 1 ).
PS: Using nmap I looked at the latency to the relevant port, it can be as high as 0.5sec, but most often it is shorter.

Cheers,
e.

Is it possible to generate a table of contents based on h1/h2/h3 HTML tags?

Example:

toc()

< h1>test
< h2>test1
< h1>test2
< h2>test3
< h1>test4
< h2>test5

Results in:

1. test
1.1 test1
2. test2
2.1 test3
3. test4
3.1 test5

Hello.

Today I wanted to download latest elog version, and got information from Eset Endpoint Antyvirus, that downloaded file has trojan horse "Generic.GQWFFXB".

It this false positive alarm?
