Can the size of the application log file affect performance?

I would appreciate if elog could provide a simple support for mathematical expressions.

A solution similar to wikimedia should be easy to implement and would help a lot.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows#Alternative_Solution

The idea is to parse the elog entry for a tag (e.g.  <math></math>), extract the code, wrap it into a latex file, and pass this to latex, GhostScript, and ImageMagic. (The latter are already used by Elog, therefore the changes should not be too big.) The resulting image file would then be referenced by the  elog html code.

Of course, the FCKeditor would not support LaTeX. However, the majority of elog-useres should be scientists and rather familiar with LaTeX. Therefore it should be fine if the original LaTeX code is saved (e.g. in the ALT-tag of the image) and the replacement "code to image" is undone for editing.

Kind regards,
Jochen

Hi Team,

Current configuration

=================

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

ELOG version: elog/jammy,now 3.1.3-1-1build2 amd64 [installed]

Installation method: apt install elog

Configuration file: /etc/elogd.cfg

LOGBOOKDIR= /var/lib/elog/logbooks}
RESOURCEDIR= /usr/share/elog

I had an ELOG server set up in the Windows server which is authenticated using a Password file. Recently, I have migrated the ELOG server to the Ubuntu server. I installed ELOG from the Ubuntu repository (apt install elog) and copied over the logbook and configuration file from the windows server to the new Ubuntu server. In the server, the configuration file was set to /etc/elog.conf by default. I have modified the init file and set the configuration file to /etc/elogd.cfg (this conf file is copied from the Windows server) which includes all the settings. After moving to the Ubuntu server I would like to authenticate users using the password file and LDAP. Could someone help me how to configure LDAP in my installation style?

The global configuration that is found on my installation is as follows:

###################################

; Global settings

Password file = elog.pwd
Self register = 1
Admin user = a, b,c, d, e, Iafdsel

Suppress Email to users = 1
SMTP host = example.com

Time format = %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S
Date format = %Y-%m-%d

Restrict edit time = 2
Restrict edit = 1

Allow HTML = 1
Max content length = 209715200
Save drafts = 0
###################################

Should I add the below modification (by editing the necessary fields) to the current configuration? Will that make the LDAP and normal password file work?

############################

• Enable LDAP authentication in the Makefile by setting USE_LDAP = 1   (I am not sure if I need to do this in my installation style. If yes, how do i do this?)

• Authentication = LDAP
• LDAP server = ldap://example.org:389
• LDAP userbase = ou=People;dc=example,dc=org
• LDAP login attribute = uid
• LDAP register = 1

​############################
 

Can someone guide me on what changes I need to make for this?

Many Thanks,
Scott

Could someone point me to the LDAP configuration docs, I searched to no avail.  I'm sure there is some big red ldap config button it, but I just can't find it.

Date selection from the calendar widget does not work in Konqueror.  

Clicking on a date results in year being populated, but month and day are 
blank.

 Does anyone have a success story with kerberos on windows?

 I have a logbook installed on a Windows 64 bit VM server 2008 R2 and can access it fine using the password file.  However when using Kerberos it does not authenticate correctly.  I installed Kerberos and pointed it to the realm an domain controller.  Using KINIT command line it appears to accept my password.  Any help is appriciated.  Perhaps some other diagnostics i could try against the kerberos install

Here is global settings:

port = 49212

ssl = 1 

url = https://my-elog.domain.com:49212/

Authentication = Kerberos, file

Kerberos Realm = DOMAIN.COM

Admin User = me

Max content length = 10485760

Password file = pw.txt

Allow password change = 1  (perhaps this is an issue???)

Also...when adding users to the logbook, do you leave the password blank if using Kerberos?
