I told you twice (once in this thread) that you should not mix "password file" with "admin password". These are two different authentication schemes and may not be combined. What you need is only "admin user = <name>" in your config file as written in the documentation.

Shouldn't I get a screen to login/register?

I might be wrong, but since you have defined "Guest menu commands", you should indeed be able to read the logbooks without logging on, only write access should be prevented. Do you get the login window when you explicitly click onto the "Login" link?

Also, I noticed that your user lists are space-separated, although as far as I know they should be comma-separated.
I hope this helps!

Thanks. That was exactly what Stefan pointed me to (in private EMail which I resorted to in my desperation Smile.
This config (also thanks to Stefan) now works.
[global]
Port=8880
SSL=1
Self register = 1
Password file = passwd

[Demo]
Attributes = Author, Status
[Linux]
Attributes = Author, Status
[Windows]
Attributes = Author, Status


I only need to know how I get an admin passwd and user into the passwd file.
elogd -a password -l logbook does not have the desired effect. It spoils the cfg-file
again with Admin Password commands.

Let me add one observation though: I always have to put the Submit or Preview button twice in this forum. The first time no reaction happens. The secend click dows the action.

Yes this observation is right. It's related to a new "fix" I was asked for: People do not want an entry to be submitted if they fill in an attribute and hit <ENTER>. So I added some javascript to prevent this, but the bad side effect right now is that you have to click Preview or Submit twice. I'm working on it.

 It seems that the submit/preview problem is solved. Submit/Preview buttons at the bottom of the page seem to work on the attachments only.

Sorry for the oversight on my side.

This is now my config - it still doesn't work. BTW, the passwd file is empty (despite of the xml header).

[global]
Port=8880
Password file = /usr/local/elog/logbooks/passwd
SMTP host = smtp.mydomain.de
SMTP user = kuku
Logfile = /usr/local/elog/logs/elog.log
Logging Level = 3
Admin user = kuku 
Login user = abc def ghi
SSL=1

URL=https://myhost.mydomain:8880/
Self register = 1
Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Logout, Help
Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help
[Demo]
Attributes = Author, Status
[Linux]
Attributes = Author, Status
[Windows]
Attributes = Author, Status

Thanks for helping.

Hello,

I'm new to elog. I've installed it under Slackware 11. Everything worked smoothly until I wanted to establish access control. I followed the steps described under Access control heading in Syntax of elog.cfg chapter. I specified a new password file name and the following steps with no problem. After having created a new user I stopped elogd  and added  Admin user to config file. And here is my problem - each time I want to login to elog, I get "Invalid user name or password!" message. The meaning of it is obvious. So I have repeated all the steps several times. Of course I paid attention to enter user name and password correctly but I can't get rid of this message. For sure I making something wrong, but what it is ? 

Can you try the current SVN version?

http://savannah.psi.ch/websvn/filedetails.php?repname=elog&path=/trunk/src/elogd.c&rev=0&sc=0

 

There has been some issues with the password encoding, maybe this is fixed now.
