Also, the documentation seemed a bit confusing to me:

Instead of subsituting an attribute, the original attribute can be kept and just the output formatting can be changed. This can be very handy for constructing HTML links out of attributes. Presume that a company has a telephone book reachable under
http://any.company.com/telbook.cgi?search=<name>
where <name> has to be replaced by a search string. Now one can construct an automatic telephonebook lookup with following options:
Attributes = Name, Telephone, ...
Display Telephone = <a href="http://any.company.com/telbook.cgi?search=$Name">$Name's telephone number</a>
The attribute Telephone is now automatically constructed from the attribute Name and consists of a link to the company's telephonebook. The advantage of this system is if the URL of the telephonebook changes one day, only one statement in the config file has to be changed, while otherways (like with the Subst Telephone = ... option) all entries would have to be changed manually. |
The example seems to be using a different syntax ("Display Telephone") rather than the syntax described by the section header ("Change <attribute>...").
Any update to this information would be greatly appreciated. I'm just looking for a workable solution of any kind. Thank you for your continuing fine work. |
I am able to make it work by passing just a plain string constructing the URL. Strange though... before I posted the previous log entry, it didn't work no matter what I tried! Bizarre.
However, it would still be a good idea to update the documentation to clarify things somewhat and bring it up to date with actual usage today. |
You are referring here to a Forum entry for an old ELOG version: this will not be changed, since it was for that old version.
If you want some documentation to be updated, then you should show the documentation part that should be updated. |

I have been looking at the documentation at https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#attrib. (See the quoted portion, above.) If there is newer documentation, please post a link for it here. Thank you! |

How did you create the certificate?
Are you running eLog on a server with more than one host name (CNAME entries) and are you pointing to your eLog
via one of that aliases?
Certificates that work with an Apache 1 Web server do work with eLog, too.

The certificate that is on there right now is the one that gets created when you install elogs. I have tried
creating one with a windows server 2008 box with the CA role installed. The certificate is created without issue
and I can install it on the server but when I try to restart the elog service it wont start until I put the
original server.crt and server.key file back into the ssl directory.
I have DNS on the machine but only have one CNAME pointing to the elog server.
I don't know a lot about certificates so sorry if this doesn't help out much. |

I don't know anything about Windows server CA, but eLog is very strict in the syntax of the CERTs.
I had to learn it the hard way when installing a chain CERT.
For server.crt and server.key it MUST NOT be a chain cert. Therefor you have to use chain.crt
Are the generated CERTs ASCII (with only one -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE----- in
server.crt
and -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- and -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- in server.key)?
So the eLog generated keys should look like..

How did you install the certificate? Maybe it ended up in the IIS directory and not in the elog directory? |
