Dear elog users & developers,

the subject line says it all: when using webserver authentication, how is it possible to restict access of users to any given elog? Only using the apche rules? Admin user and Login user do not seem to be doing anything for me. I am using elog as packaged by debian for buster, using an apache ssl proxy. Thank you for providing this software,

Christian

Dear all,

I figured it out. Current global config is (using kerberos instead)

[global]
port = 8081
Default encoding = 0
SSL = 0
Authentication = Kerberos
URL = https://my_url_here/
interface = 127.0.0.1
Password file = global.pwd
SMTP host = my_mail_host
Logfile = /var/log/elog.log
Logging level = 3
User = elog
Grp = elog

Best,

Christian

It seems that the latest Windows binary still predates this fix. Will there be a new installer soon? Thanks for your support.

Hi,

Ten years later...this problem shows up in my installation behind Apache, affecting only drop-down menu searches.  Test installations with elog serving itself do not show the problem, so I presume it has something to do with Apache configuration, re-routing, etc.  Unfortunately, this thread did not provide any details of the solution.

The problem looks like this:

Type:    %255ERoutine%2524
or, in the url:

https://servername/?Type=%25255ERoutine%252524

Removing 2525 from front and back of the url makes everything work.

The only rewrite entries in the configuration file(s) are:

  ## Rewrite rules
  RewriteEngine On

  #redirect non-SSL traffic to SSL site
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
  RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

Perhaps there's a rewrite rule that could be added to block the 2525?  Something like:

    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} 2525
    RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

I don't have a lot of experience configuring Apache, so any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks.

Phil

Good day all ,

does Elog has a paid version that is not open soureced

There is only an open source version.

We were running ELOG for many many years in our experiments and the instance was operated on a Debian XEN server as a container. I am now trying to migrate it into our Docker Swarm cluster and I am using the https://hub.docker.com/r/de1lz/elog-docker Docker image, which works very well with our logbooks when I run it as a single container. However, when I put the container behind my load balancer (HAProxy) using the simple HTTP mode (which works very well for all the other HTTP-based services) with this simple configuration:

backend be_elog.km3net.de
    mode http
    server-template km3net-elog- 1 km3net-elog_elog:8080 check resolvers docker init-addr libc,none

I get a "too many redirects" error when I try to access one of the logbooks. The starting page works fine, but every other link leads to a pile-up of redirects.

Here is the current instance running, where you can see the behaviour: https://elog.test.km3net.de (all log entries deleted and only two logbooks activated)

My question is: what kind of redirect could go wrong here? I don't know how the internal HTTP server of ELOG works, but maybe someone faced similar issues.

My ELOG configuration is also pretty basic, and as I wrote above, everything works when I run it without the load balancer (single instance at the moment). Here is the top part of the configuration, it contains a few dozens of logbooks but they are configured the very same way.

Probably you need a setting

URL = https://elog.test.km3net.de

or so in your elogd.cfg file.
