Duplicate Accounts on Main
by Dave Clements 17 May '13

17 May '13

Hello all, The terms of use <https://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/static/terms.html> for the Galaxy Project's free Galaxy server, http://usegalaxy.org (a.k.a. Main<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Main>) specify Your access to the Service is provided under the condition that you abide by any published quotas on data storage, job submissions, or any other limitations placed on the public Service. *Attempts to subvert these limits by creating multiple accounts or through any other method may result in termination of all associated accounts.* In the past we have dealt with multiple accounts on an ad-hoc basis. Moving forward we are using an automated system to detect, disable, and eventually delete duplicate accounts. If the automated system determines that your account is a duplicate, your account will be disabled and you will receive an email asking you if this is the account you wish to keep. If it is, please follow the directions in the email and your access to that account will be restored. If your account is suspended and you believe that you are not in violation of Main's terms of use, then please contact terms_and_conditions(a)galaxyproject.org. Thanks, The Galaxy Team -- http://galaxyproject.org/GCC2013 http://galaxyproject.org/ http://getgalaxy.org/ http://usegalaxy.org/ http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/

April 8, 2013 Galaxy Security Release
by Nate Coraor 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

A security vulnerability was recently discovered that would allow a malicious person to delete the contents of a history that does not belong to them. The vulnerability was in a method designed to allow users to switch between histories as a convenience from certain messages and is not used for most normal history switching operations. A fix has been provided in the stable branch of the Galaxy distribution and tagged as security_2013.04.08. Administrators are strongly encouraged to upgrade to at least the listed tag or to implement one of the provided workarounds. This changeset *is not* included in the most recent (April 1, 2013) stable release. To upgrade: % hg pull % hg update security_2013.04.08 For Galaxy installations on relatively old versions that administrators are not yet ready to upgrade, there are two workarounds. First, the patch can be downloaded and applied manually: % wget -o history.patch https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/commits/883216b2eaf2ff05b7771f4… and then: % hg patch history.patch or: % patch -p1 < history.patch In this case, the Galaxy server process(es) must be restarted for the change to take effect. Second, access to this method via the upstream proxy server can be denied. Note that anyone with the ability to bypass the proxy server via directly connecting to the Galaxy application's web port(s) would still be able to call this method. This is possible for anyone with direct login access to the server, or even remotely if the Galaxy application binds to all addresses (instead of just localhost) unless restricted by other means (e.g. a firewall). For Apache: <Location ~ "/history/switch_to_history.*"> Deny from all </Location> For nginx: location ~ /history/switch_to_history.* { deny all; } If using a proxy prefix (e.g. "/galaxy"), that prefix should be prepended to "/history". --nate Galaxy Team

Call for papers for a special GCC2013 and Galaxy series in GigaScience
by Dave Clements 04 Apr '13

04 Apr '13

Hello all, I am pleased to inform you that talks presented at the 2013 Galaxy Community conference will be eligible for consideration to be published in the journal *GigaScience* and that BGI will generously cover the article processing fees for these articles. See the announcement below for details. thanks, Dave C -------------------------------- The 2013 Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2013)<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013> and BioMed Central <http://www.biomedcentral.com/> are announcing a special thematic series in *GigaScience <http://www.gigasciencejournal.com/> *, a new journal co-published in collaboration between BGI Shenzhen<http://www.genomics.cn/en/index> and BioMed Central <http://www.biomedcentral.com/> focused on studies utilizing large-scale datasets and workflows. Galaxy<http://galaxyproject.org/> is an open, web-based platform for data intensive biomedical research allowing their growing community of users to reproduce and share analyses. All accepted oral presentations from the meeting will be eligible for consideration in the series, and working with the scientific committee<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Organizers#Scientific_Committee>, peer review will be coordinated, thorough and timely. BGI has been generously covering the open-access article-processing charges<http://www.gigasciencejournal.com/about/apcfaq> for the journal’s launch, and this offer will be extended to all submissions from the 2013 conference. Covering the themes of the conference, discussion and research is considered highlighting best practice for local Galaxy installation, management and use, as well as interesting tools, data sources, or novel uses of Galaxy. Addressing many of the goals of Galaxy to enable more accessible, reproducible, and transparent genomic science, submissions can utilize a novel format, where all of the workflows, tools and supporting data can be hosted and integrated into accepted papers using independently citable digital object identifiers<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier> from the journal's Giga-Galaxy server <http://galaxy.cbiit.cuhk.edu.hk/> and GigaDB database <http://gigadb.org/>. Please contact the conference organizers <gcc2013-sci(a)galaxyproject.org> or GigaScience editors <editorial(a)gigasciencejournal.com> for further information, or submit a manuscript<http://www.gigasciencejournal.com/authors/instructions/research> or conference abstract<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2013/Abstracts>, mentioning you would like to be considered in the series. The deadline for consideration for oral presentations to the meeting is 12th April, but later submissions for exceptional poster presentations (deadline 3rd May) and related work utilizing Galaxy may also be considered for the open series<http://www.gigasciencejournal.com/series> .
