Hi Susan,

according to the documentation you need to add "Hosts deny = All" in addition to the "Hosts allow" command.
Here is the relevant excerpt from the documentation (https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#access).
Cheers
Andreas
  • Hosts allow = <list>
  • Hosts deny = <list>

These two settings can be used to restrict the access to the logbook to certain computers. It is similar to the UNIX hosts.allow and hosts.deny files. The list can consist of individual host names or IP numbers, subnet masks like 123.213. (note the trailing '.') or .mit.edu, or the word All. The following rules are applied:

  • Access will be granted when a host matches a pattern in "hosts allow".
  • Otherwise, access will be denied when a host matches a pattern in "hosts deny".
  • Otherwise, access will be granted.

These rules are applied before any password is checked. To debug problems, start elogd with the "-v" flag, in which case the rule checking is printed on the screen.

thanks for your quick reply.

the configuration is still not working.  See my entry below which denies everyone.

I've tried many different combinations of 'hosts allow and hosts deny'

we want to restrict all our logbooks to only domain lbl.gov

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov
Hosts deny = ALL

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts deny = ALL

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov
 

Can you help?

Hi All,

We're still having trouble with hosts.allow and hosts.deny.

We're trying to allow all of our domain  lbl.gov to the access list

for our logbooks.  But the combination below is not working.

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

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov
Hosts deny = ALL

[ below denies ALL ]

Hosts deny = ALL

Hosts allow = .lbl.gov

========================
Can someone help?

Hi Susan,
the documentation states that you should start elogd with the -v option from the command line and look at the output. Did you try this?
You might post the output here to get further help.

Have you set

Resolve host names = 1

in the config file? If it still does not work, run "elogd -v" from the terminal and watch the output. You should see someting like:

Remote host "mpc1865.psi.ch" matches "ALL" in "Hosts deny". Access denied.
Remote host "mpc1865.psi.ch" matches ".lbl.gov" in "Hosts allow". Access granted.

Stefan

Owen LaGarde wrote:

Will elog defer user identification and authorization to the ssl engine of a *local* Apache proxy?  I'd like to try elog in a site that requires the service port positively authenticate and identify users via smartcard certificate ID.  Per SOP they have Apache+mod_ssl setting SSLUserName=SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN which sets both the SSL request object's "user" field and the REMOTE_USER environment var relative to the mod_ssl's session's process group leader.  Users auth with Apache's mod_ssl as a single-signon replacement for web apps which have traditional native, internal user accounts/passwords, but those passwords are subsumed by the Apache/smartcard/mod_ssl setup.  The web apps define internal accounts matching the users' cert IDs but do not allow any management of the [unused] passwords.  Can elog do this?

This is not implemented at the moment.

I implemented your request and committed to CVS. Please test if it does what you want, since I did not have much time to test it.

Thanks so much. But the new feature seems not working. If my conf is:

Options OS = SunOs{1}, Linux{2}, Aix
{1} Show Attributes = Name, SysAdmin, OS, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number, Description

When I choose linux OS, is it supposed to get only the attributes in "Show Attributes"? All the attributes show up. Or you implemented it in other way?
