This Forum runs on "midas.psi.ch" under RH 7.1, Apache 1.3.22, port 8000, and
it contains in httpd.conf:
Redirect permanent /elogdemo http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/
ProxyPass /elogdemo/ http://midas.psi.ch:8000/
elogd.cfg contains:
URL = http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/
As you can see, it works fine with all browsers, so I have no clue what is
wrong in your case. You might want to look at your /var/log/httpd/access_log
and /var/log/httpd/error_log to see what's going on. If you run elogd
interactively with the "-v" flag, you see directly the communication between
elogd and the browser which also might help.

Hi!
Same for me.
Here is the error:
Cannot find any ??????.log file in this directory.
THANX,

`elconv' is just a simple tool to convert pre 2.0 log files to the current
format. (Well, after all these confusions, dropping it from the future
releases won't be surprising -at least for me- ;) You might try some
well-known text-processing tools ie. preferably awk or perl to make the
required conversions. But I think using comma or tab as the delimiter is not
suitable due to the content of logs. If all you want is importing them to
excel/word, you should play with the delimiter options of mentioned programs
before trying a solution. |

Hi Recai. I have several requests of this kind. "Want to import/export to
comma separated text" or "XML". So one option is to extend elconv to handle
all kind of conversions 1.x -> 2.x, 2.x -> CSV, 2.x -> XML. An alternative
would be to write some awk/perl scripts as you noted. The disadvantage of
this solution would be that they rely on the installation of awk/perl which
is not given on windows systems. But nevertheless, if anyone volunteers to
write a conversion tool, I would be happy to include it in the distribution.
If not, I can put it into elconv.c, but that could take until June, given my
current work load. |

| Tomas Rudolf | tomas@mba.be | Question | | | User Profile - Access to logbook group | Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had a solution for my problem.
We are trying to run several books on one server. The books are grouped
such as follows :
Group Users1 = Book1, Book2, Book3
Group Users2 = Book4, Book5, Book6
Group Users3 = Book7, Book8, Book9
We would like to give access to selected users to only their Group. So that
for instance Users1 cannot access the books of group Users3. I was
wondering if there is any notion of "User profile" or security per logbook
Group implemented?
What we do for now is that we have 3 different PASSELOG files and for each
Book we need to specify which PASSELOG should be used for authentication.
This works fine except that we prefer that users do not see the other
logbooks listed in the main menu nor the other "inaccessible" logbook tabs
in the logbook view. Is there a way to hide these for them (but only for
them)?

No, groups of users are not yet implemented, but it's on the wishlist and I
added your vote for this item.

A (poor man's) work-around right now is to run three instances of elogd on
three different ports, then use Apache as a proxy. I do this in this server
for example. Under http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo you see the public logbooks,
while under http://midas.psi.ch/megelog you see some logbooks from an
experiment here at our institute. The access control is completely separated,
and you don't see the logbook tabs from the other group as well. |

| Robert Keeney | rkeeney@dfs.state.fl.us | Question | | | Re: User Profile - Access to logbook group | I have managed to get this to work (so far).
What I do is use a separate password file and directory for each log.
I haven't tested it with with the current version but it worked fine before
that. My testing consisted of creating a user in the main password file and
see if he could get to anything I didn't want him to. This may not be enough
for something that requires a high level of security.
When I create a new user I move that line to the appropriate password file if
it isn't already there.
You will get an invalid user message and a prompt if you try access a log that
doesn't have your user name in the password file.
I only have six people using it so this isn't much trouble.
I would like to see groups implemented to make this more manageable.
