Hi, I think, if we can put the "Group xxx = xxx" under some "global xxxx" sections, the configure file will be more clean. Don't you think so? In fact, if the "Group XXX" sections are put under "global XXX" section, the "Top Group XXX" can be ignored. I also found that some options (e.g. "Logbook dir =") under "global" don't work under "global XXX".
Maybe the configure file can be defined more flexible, such as this way:
[global]
Port = 8080
Top configuration = yes

[global Group1]
Group config = group1.cfg

[global Group2]
Group config = group2.cfg
The "group1.cfg" looks like this:
[global]
Top configuration = no
Password file = group1.pwd
Group Linux PCs = Red Hat, Debian, Gentoo
Group Windows PCs = 98, ME, XP, Vista
Group Vista = Home, Pro, Media Center

[Red Hat]

  65955   Mon Aug 25 17:23:22 2008 Question Davide Salomonidsalomoni@gmail.comQuestionLinux Grabbing user name from SSL user certificate

With SSL enabled, I'd like to to grab the CN (Common Name) of the user certificate and use that as login authentication method.

I am thinking of the following scenario:

- users with read & write privileges need to have an SSL certificate loaded in their browser. The "Author" field will be pre-set to the CN of the user certificate.

- authorization may be subject to further granularity (e.g. only allow users whose certificate belongs to a certain organization)

- read-only, guest access (without certificate) may or may not be allowed

 

Is there a way to do that?

 G'day everyone.

Looking for some input on this idea.

I work for an organization which uses elog extensively for day to day operations.

In several of our logbooks we use a "location" attribute where we would enter an address or intersection.

I am working with the google places api and am able to create the auto complete form in a separate html page, but am interested if anyone has a good direction how i could change the input box into the google map autocomplete search box.

 

I have the code already for the api search box. but when i add it to the config it doesn't really do anything different.

Attached is the html file i setup with the api code.

the autocomplete works great, now i just want it to work in elog.

Any help is much appreciated!

And perhaps the Elog Powers that be might be interested in making it a function down the road? :)

 I use Google Chrome for web browsing these days..  I've had serious issues with surfing some of the pages of our ELOG V2.7.5-2130 site.  For instance, I can surf directly to our url to create a new entry (http://changelog.company.com/Company+IT+Change+Log/?cmd=New) and see the page just fine.  But when I click on the header to go back to the main page (http://changelog.company.com/Company+IT+Change+Log/) I end up with this error:

 

 

 

This webpage is not available.

The webpage at http://changelog.company.com/Company+IT+Change+Log/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

 

Below is the original error message
Error 320 (net::ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE): Unknown error.

 

 

But when I visit the DEMO elog site (http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux%20Demo/) it pulls right up just fine..  My site also works in IE without problems.

 

Any ideas?  I run our ELOG on windows server.. maybe that has something to do with it..

Hi all

I am trying to send email via Gmail smtp with no success. Elog uses port 25 which is not allowed. I need to use 587 or 465 ports to send mail. How can I change the port?

Have a good year all!

  523   Thu Apr 8 15:05:43 2004 Question Bertram Metzbmetz@sbs.comQuestionWindows2.5.2Global password file together with guest account
Hello,

is it possible to have an guest account together with a global password file?

I tried to put the password file statement into the global section of
elogd.cfg. But in this case every user must login and it is not possible to
have a read only guest account. 
But if I put the password file statemnet into the logbook sections, it is
possible to access the logbooks in read-only mode without logging in. The
drawback of this solution is, that you have to login into every logbook
seperately.

Dear All, 

 We have been using the ELOG for several years and had inserted hyper-links instead of whole files in order to save storage space. From this month our server is moved to a new location with a new address. Is there a way for me to retrospectivelly replace all addresses with the new server file pass?

Thanks in advance, 

Best regards,

 Marta

  67146   Wed Nov 9 20:15:38 2011 Angy Steve Nahnnahn@mit.eduBug reportLinux2.9.0Global Synchronization with 2.9.0

Hi

  I just updated my mirror server, which I just use as a backup to my main server, to 2.9.0 and found that after logging in (the selection page is not protected, but the individual logbooks are) and coming back to the selection page I no longer get the "Synchronize all logbooks" even though I am an admin user. The relevant code is in elogd.c in the show_selection_page() routine:

       /* only admin user sees synchronization link */
        if (is_admin_user("global", getparam("unm"))) {
         rsprintf("<tr>\n");
         rsprintf("<td colspan=13 class=\"seltitle\">\n");
         rsprintf("<a href=\"?cmd=Synchronize\">%s</a></td>\n", loc("Synchronize all logbooks"));
         rsprintf("</tr>\n");
      }
 

what is happening is that after logging in to a logbook and coming back to the selection page, the "unm" parameter is not set, so getparam("unm") returns NULL, who clearly is not in the admin user list.  The strange thing is that in an individual logbook the unm (and uname) parameters are working fine, and I have admin rights - can change the global config file, do an individual synchronization, etc.  It is just from the selection page that the unm parameter is not working.

In fact, I commented out the if statement above, just to see if I could get synchronized using the link, and that failed too, with a message "No user name supplied for remote access" even though I do have a "mirror user" statement in my config.  Again, if I do each one individually it all works.  In addition, the cron synchronization (i.e. mirror cron) also works fine.

Obviously this isn't crucial, just a pain that can be worked around, but if anyone has any ideas I'd be glad to hear them.

Steve
