  2120   Thu Jan 18 16:29:43 2007 Question Alexandre Lindotealex@lipc.fis.uc.ptQuestionLinux | Mac OSX2.6.3-1762Synchronization using https
Hi,

I have an elog server running on a linux desktop machine inside our institutional firewall. It can be accessed from inside the firewall directly using http, but users from outside have to use https, with apache (and its ssl module) controlling the access.
I also set up another server on my laptop, just for backup purposes, and synchronized it inside the firewall (using a direct http connection). No problems there!
Now we want to have several servers set up (in different institutions), and have them synchronized automatically. For this I installed elog on a mac server (in another institution, so outside our firewall), also accessible only through https (again using apache).
I configured all the required mirror settings, but always get an error: "Remote server is not an ELOG server".
I've tried changing the status of the 2 machines (server-client), but get the same error...
I also tried different approaches for the Mirror server parameter, like
https://the.remote.server
https://the.remote.server:443
http://the.remote.server:443
but no luck...

Running elog with the -D flag off issued this message:

Authorization Required

This server could not verify that you
are authorized to access the document
requested. Either you supplied the wrong
credentials (e.g., bad password), or your
browser doesn't understand how to supply
the credentials required.

Apache/1.3.33 Server at shalott.pp.rl.ac.uk Port 80


The servers have user level passwords, and I'm mirroring with Mirror user parameter set to the administrator...
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Synchronization works such that the "client" elogd (the one on which the synchronization is started) "emulates" a browser and accesses the other elogd server. Since SSL is not built into elogd, it can only use the http protocol, not https. If you want secure synchronization, the only chance you have is to make a SSH tunnel on which you run the http protocol for synchronization.



Would it be possible to use rsync to syncronise two elogd servers on different servers via secure synchronization on the file level?
E.g.
rsync -av -e ssh /var/lib/elog/logbooks/ elog.remote.de:/var/lib/elog/logbooks/

Hi,

I have a problem and I do not understand why

my config is

"
{tdl} Show Attributes = De, He, Auteur, Ten, TDL
{tdl} Options TDL = de, fr, gt
{tdl} Extendable Options = TDL
"

I play with {tdl}, i add TDL (toto),

and after that, i open my config:

"{tdl} Show Attributes = De, He, Auteur, Ten, TDL
{tdl} Options TDL = de, fr, gt, toto, toto
{tdl} Extendable Options = TDL
"
And my preview is wrong !!

why 2 * toto thus?

thanks a lot

Bob

Hi,
I still have a question,

is it possible to use : Required and {}

here my program :"
.
{run} Required Attributes = Date evenement, Heure evenement, ...
{run} Show Attributes = Date evenement, Heure evenement, ...
.
.
.
{etuvage & ANS} Required Attributes = Date evenement, Heure evenement, ...
{etuvage & ANS} Show Attributes = Date evenement, Heure evenement, ...
"
generally, can one handle "Required" and "{}" or "{ , }", ...

in any case for me, that does not go
this is normal ??

Thanks
Bob
  2135   Fri Feb 16 12:08:19 2007 Question Ben Waughwaugh@hep.ucl.ac.ukQuestionLinux2.6.3-1762Setting From: for registration/password e-mails
We had a problem, as mentioned in the documentation, with "new password" e-mails being rejected because the default From: address is invalid, so we changed this using "Use Email From".

According to the documentation, "By default, the email address of the currently logged in user is used for the "From:" field. If no user is logged in, or the current user has not specified a email address in the password database, the setting of the option Use Email From is used for the "From:" field."

However, when an address is specified in "Use Email From" we find that all e-mail notifications, even those sent automatically when a logged-in user submits a log entry, are sent from this address.

How can we set a valid address for use for "change of password" or registration e-mails, but still use the appropriate user's e-mail address for log entries?
  2140   Sun Feb 18 10:51:13 2007 Question Tobias Baggertobiasb@trashmail.netQuestionLinux2.6.3-1762Preset of a drop-down box entry with a "%" character
How do I preset a drop-down box entry which contains a % character?

I use following lines in the elogd.cfg:

Options list->ta = K - 0%, S - 10% (text a1), F - 20% (text a2)
Preset list->ta = K - 0%

The documentation says:
If a preset value is given for an attribute which has an options list, the preset value is selected in the drop down box by default.

But this doesn't work for me. I also tried

Preset list->ta = "K - 0%"
Preset list->ta = K - 0%%
Preset list->ta = K - 0\%

without success. What's the right way to do this?


Best regards
Tobias
  2146   Thu Mar 1 15:27:31 2007 Question An Thaithaithan@gmx.deQuestionWindows2.6.4.1801Re: Conditional Email Notification by a text file
Dear All,

I have got very good feedback from my colleagues about Elog logbook which I have made at my work since October 2006. The tool is going to use improving.

At moment, I don't let Elog start as a service (deamon), but as an application (start from a *.bat file). Because I just want to enable of "elogd -x" for reading of email list in an external file. But this cause that Elog cannot be set to automatically restart after a crash. (As a service in Windows, you can set it restart immediatly after crash)

I don't find anywhere in the administrator's guide how I can set the option 'elogd -x' while installing Elog to get a service with '-x' option.

Do you know it?


Dear Stefan,
could you enable it for the install download file for Windows?
  2153   Fri Mar 2 16:39:22 2007 Question Justin Ellisonjustin@techadvise.comQuestion 2.6.4-179Hiding attributes in Detail view?
First off, thanks so much for this product. It works excellent for us as a server activity log. I have a question, which depending on the answer, might be a feature request Wink

As I mentioned, we use elog as a serverlog. Sometimes, but not always, we will have a Bugzilla bug # that is associated with the log entry. We then take that bug #, and build a link to our bugzilla server displaying the bug. Here's the relevant config entries:
Attributes = Author, Classification, Subject, Bug Number, Environment, Server, Bugzilla
...
#Make the list table narrow enough to fit in the browser
List display = ID, Date, Author, Subject, Server, Bugzilla
...
#We take in a Bug Number from the user, then calculate a Bugzilla link from that
Change Bugzilla = <a href="http://bugz:4545/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=$Bug Number">$Bug Number</a>
List Change Bugzilla = <a href="http://bugz:4545/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=$Bug Number">$Bug Number</a>
Hidden Attributes = Bugzilla

So, on new entry, the user has the option to enter a Bug Number. Bugzilla is not displayed because it is derived. In list view, Bug Number is not displayed, but Bugzilla is, providing a handy link to the bug on a different server.

The only thing that isn't working as I'd like is when someone views a log entry. Both Bug Number and Bugzilla show up in the attributes. This isn't a huge deal, it's just showing redundant data.

Is there a way to hide Bug Number on the view page?
