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,

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

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.

Hi elog experts =)

Anyone know if it's possible to have access control per group-level?

For instance:

Group A = B,C   

Group B = LogA   

Group C = LogB, LogC      

Group C: Read password = abc

?

We use ELOG inside a local network, but we want to allow access also from outside the firewall.

The suggested solution from Elog Admin Guide worked fine until version ELOG V2.6.5-1844 (essentially without FCK Editor):

ssh -L 1234:your.server.name:8080 your.firewall.name
firefox http://localhost:1234/

Howerver, since the update to ELOG V2.7.1-2002 the FCK Editor uses absolute links to insert images.

An image uploaded from the local network will have an address like:

http://your.server.name:8080/logbookname/080207_101110/Picture.jpg

while the same image uploaded through the firewall tunnel will have a link like:

http://localhost:1234/logbookname/080207_101110/Picture.jpg

Obviously images uploaded from outside are not visible from inside and vice versa.

Is it possible to convince FCK Editor to use relative links?

PS
ELOG is great!!
