icon5.gif   Adaptation of the language, posted by Markus Grosse-Kock on Thu Feb 20 12:27:42 2014 

Hello,

 
I want to change the language to German. But it does not work.
 
Here my config:
 
Theme = default
Resource dir = D:\Elog
Language = german
 
Where is the problem? Or is it not possible to change the language in Windows?
 
Best regards,
Markus
icon1.gif   Active Directory authentication, posted by Alan Grant on Mon Mar 29 06:05:08 2010 

Found a thread from 2004 ("External authentication") asking about the possibility of tying that in with ELog and answer was "Not yet". With time past, any chance this is now possible? I didn't see any more info on that since. 

I'd like to explore using AD to set up/manage groups for ELog authentication. Alternatively, is there currently another way with ELog to manage groups?

Regards.

icon5.gif   Action after message submission, posted by Mike Zuber on Wed Sep 15 22:40:52 2010 

Is it possible to automatically go back to the list view in summary mode after submitting a new message instead of displaying the new message?

I know it's possible to display a page from a file after submitting a new message  by using "Submit Page = <file>". 
It would be nice to be able to use a command like "Submit Page = <command>" where I could insert "?cmd=Back" as in the "Start page" command.

Thanks,

Mike

icon1.gif   Account expiration, posted by eric wooten on Wed Jul 30 08:13:56 2003 
I know there's an item on the wishlist for password expiration, so how 
about account expiration..?? (after so many days of inactivity).

One complaint that comes from management is that when a user leaves the 
agency, the elog account seems to never get deleted.  There way of asking 
me, why I never keep up with the user account deletions.  Ha Ha, like I 
have time to constantly compare the user list from elog to the user list of 
other systems.

Another plea on my part, for Elog to allow for authentication via external 
database - such as LDAP, so we wouldn't have to maintain another user 
database.

Thanks,
Eric
icon5.gif   Accessing elog through two apache servers..., posted by Dimitrios Tsirigkas on Tue Feb 14 12:57:37 2006 good.pngbad.png
Hello,

We have elogd running on a pc, say cmsdaqpreseries, that also runs an apache server and we've made sure that it's only accessible through the apache server, like so:

http://cmsdaqpreseries.cern.ch/elog/

This works fine.

We then tried to set up another apache server on another computer, say cmsdaq, and use that as a proxy server to access the apache server on cmsdaqpreseries and thus the elog (don't ask why...). Our sysadmin has set up kerberos authentication on that machine, so if I go to:

https://cmsdaq.cern.ch/elog/ (note the 's')

I am prompted for a username and password and then get the elog selection page. All seems to be working well, for example, the URL:

https://cmsdaq.cern.ch/elog/DAQ/?cmd=Find

will load properly. However, if I hit "login" (https://cmsdaq.cern.ch/elog/DAQ/?cmd=Login) I get caught in an infinite redirection. Of course:

http://cmsdaqpreseries.cern.ch/elog/DAQ/?cmd=Find

will still work! Any ideas on what we should do to set it up correctly? And why does this only happen with the login command?

Our sysadmin used ethereal to sniff the message exchange between the apache on cmsdaqpreseries and elog. I am including the details of the http request that elog likes (directly from cmsdaqpreseries) and of the one it doesn't like (from cmsdaqpreseries but originating at cmsdaq) as image attachments, as the text is not selectable (sorry).

Thanks in advance,

Dimitris
icon5.gif   Access to global configuration in v2.6.1, posted by Giorgio Croci Candiani on Thu Jan 19 15:02:38 2006 
Hi,
I just installed v.2.6.1 coming from the previous 2.6.0 (on Win2000)
When I access the "configuration" function from a logbook, in the cfg page I only see two buttons in the header
(save or cancel); in the previous version I saw more buttons there ("global config", "create new logbook" and so
on), so here I'm unable to access global configuration or logbook management (except for current logbook options).
I am logged in as admin (actually I have a single-user configuration, thus no particular users defined).
I hope this report may be helpful, and not just being caused by a misunderstanding on my side ;)
Thanks

icon5.gif   Access rights, posted by Roland Gsell on Mon May 7 13:41:38 2012 

Hi,

the manual says:

"
There are four ways through which access to a logbook may be controlled:

it may be open for all to read ;
it may require a common "read" password for all users ;
it may require each user to have an individual user account (login name) and password ;
finally, access may be granted or not depending on the address of the workstation you are using.
"

But it doesn't say how to do so or at least I didn't find it.

If I have each user have to log in with an individual accout, can I define which logbooks he can read and/or modify?
If yes, how to do that?

Also, please accept my vote for user groups. We can use that, too.

TIA,
Roland.
