Hi Team,

Current configuration

=================

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

ELOG version: elog/jammy,now 3.1.3-1-1build2 amd64 [installed]

Installation method: apt install elog

Configuration file: /etc/elogd.cfg

LOGBOOKDIR= /var/lib/elog/logbooks}
RESOURCEDIR= /usr/share/elog

I had an ELOG server set up in the Windows server which is authenticated using a Password file. Recently, I have migrated the ELOG server to the Ubuntu server. I installed ELOG from the Ubuntu repository (apt install elog) and copied over the logbook and configuration file from the windows server to the new Ubuntu server. In the server, the configuration file was set to /etc/elog.conf by default. I have modified the init file and set the configuration file to /etc/elogd.cfg (this conf file is copied from the Windows server) which includes all the settings. After moving to the Ubuntu server I would like to authenticate users using the password file and LDAP. Could someone help me how to configure LDAP in my installation style?

The global configuration that is found on my installation is as follows:

###################################

; Global settings

Password file = elog.pwd
Self register = 1
Admin user = a, b,c, d, e, Iafdsel

Suppress Email to users = 1
SMTP host = example.com

Time format = %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S
Date format = %Y-%m-%d

Restrict edit time = 2
Restrict edit = 1

Allow HTML = 1
Max content length = 209715200
Save drafts = 0
###################################

Should I add the below modification (by editing the necessary fields) to the current configuration? Will that make the LDAP and normal password file work?

############################

• Enable LDAP authentication in the Makefile by setting USE_LDAP = 1   (I am not sure if I need to do this in my installation style. If yes, how do i do this?)

• Authentication = LDAP
• LDAP server = ldap://example.org:389
• LDAP userbase = ou=People;dc=example,dc=org
• LDAP login attribute = uid
• LDAP register = 1

​############################
 

Can someone guide me on what changes I need to make for this?

Many Thanks,
Scott

Could someone point me to the LDAP configuration docs, I searched to no avail.  I'm sure there is some big red ldap config button it, but I just can't find it.

Date selection from the calendar widget does not work in Konqueror.  

Clicking on a date results in year being populated, but month and day are 
blank.

 Does anyone have a success story with kerberos on windows?

 I have a logbook installed on a Windows 64 bit VM server 2008 R2 and can access it fine using the password file.  However when using Kerberos it does not authenticate correctly.  I installed Kerberos and pointed it to the realm an domain controller.  Using KINIT command line it appears to accept my password.  Any help is appriciated.  Perhaps some other diagnostics i could try against the kerberos install

Here is global settings:

port = 49212

ssl = 1 

url = https://my-elog.domain.com:49212/

Authentication = Kerberos, file

Kerberos Realm = DOMAIN.COM

Admin User = me

Max content length = 10485760

Password file = pw.txt

Allow password change = 1  (perhaps this is an issue???)

Also...when adding users to the logbook, do you leave the password blank if using Kerberos?

Hello to @all

First please let me say that I'm a complete green-horn when it comes to linux

I'm running elog on a linux virtual server and would like to use kerberos authentication. If I set 'Authentication = Kerberos' in the elogd.cfg file I get,


If I set 'Authentication = Kerberos, File' it works fine. I hope this is just some error on my part.

thanks,
Tom

Hi all !!!

i have just updated and 2.9.2-1 elog instance, and i have problems with the kerberos configuration.

I was surprised to see on the logs, that the 3.0 daemon was refusing to start because the system

config has kerberos listed as an authentication method. I saw on the logs that the current daemon

didnt have kerberos support compiled in.

Ive seen that there is ldap support, but couldnt find anything about configuring this auth sytem, does

amnyone have any example i could check ?

Did i have to use a patched version ? or compile it on my own ?

Regards
