Ok, thanks a lot! I'll try asap and report back.

Unfortunately I only got 1/2 hour to go back to this... I was trying to avoid copying the whole remote elog server from 20 people (that's what I get with the automatic cloning, right?)

So, I set SSL=0 and removed the password file, but still got the same result. Then I looked in the code a bit, and can see that the problem happens in retrieve_remote_md5(...) in the lines:

   p = strstr(text, "ELOG HTTP ");
   if (!p) {
      if (isparam("debug"))
         rsputs(text);
      sprintf(error_str, loc("Remote server is not an ELOG server"));

in elogd.c, where I see text is filled by retrieve_url()

So what seems to fail is that retrieve_url() gets back a string from the remote server which doesn't include the string "ELOG HTTP ". But I don't know what that really means. Here is what I get if I try:

bash-3.2$ /usr/local/sbin/elogd -v -m -p 8080 -c /usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg -D

I get the following output:

Remote server is not an ELOG server

 Ah, I see. Hmm, ok it doesn't work without the s either. I can't access the server in that case. Ok, I think I'll just wait for this feature to be available. Thanks for your help!

I am working on a logbook for a lab.  I have two questions...
First - Some of the logbook entries should not be viewed by certain users.  
What would be the easiest way to restrict viewing some entries?  

Second - I have a welcome page for the ELOG that lists some info about the 
ELOG.  When I start the ELOG, the user sees the login page.  After the user 
logs in, the welcome page appears listing the restrictions.  Right now, I 
have a hyperlink that takes the user to new, find, etc.  But I would like 
to take the user right to the logbook and not have to come back to the 
welcome page everytime.  How can I do this?

I have attached the code I have so far.  They are in .txt format for easier 
viewing.

Thanks!

 is that   possible?  pls  show  the command. 

thank you for reply me!

URL causes elogd to crash when a global password file name doesn't match any group's password file name. 

The offending URL is copied from the address field of the browser after sorting a logbook by on of the fileds.

After login out and using the copied URL, elogd shows the authentication dialog and then crashes after the credentials are submited.

Some debugging point me to a NULL pointer on the following instruction in line   25502  of elogd.c :

  if (lbs->pwd_xml_tree) {

The work around was to name the global password file as the password file of one of the groups.

Hello,

I just gave it a quick try to the command line client, to see if I can use it to access our institution service. 

[root@host ~]# cd /tmp/
[root@host ~]# mkdir elog
[root@host ~]# cd elog
[root@host ~]# wget https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/elog-3.1.4-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
[root@host ~]# rpm2cpio elog-3.1.4-2.el7.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
[root@host ~]# cd usr/local/bin/
[root@host ~]# ./elog --help
[root@host ~]# ./elog -h <hostname> -l <logbook> -u <myusername> <mypassword> -w last
"Message successfully transmitted, ID=-1"

Is that the expected output? I was expecting to see info about the latest message in the server.

Cheers,

Jose
