URL prefix doesn't work properly in Galaxy v18.09
by Ping Luo 20 May '19

20 May '19

I configured URL prefix in galaxy 18.09. It has problems of resolving some of the links, including: workflow visualize -> create visualization shared data -> workflows shared data -> visualizations I will use workflow as an example to illustrate what happens. When the mouse cursor is put on workflow, the URL shown in at the left bottom of the browser shows https://xxx.xxx.tamu.edu/galaxy/workflows/list But after I clicked 'workflow', the real URL shown in the address bar is actually https://xxx.xxxx.tamu.edu/galaxy/galaxy//workflows/list?__identifer=sk0xsyw… Of course, there is no such a page and the browser shows a blank page. If I manually remove one galaxy in the URL, the page is correctly shown. Beside the four mentioned above, other links work fine. If galaxy is configured without prefix, then there is no problem. I also tested v18.05. With all the configuration being the same, this version doesn't have the problem with prefix like v18.09 does. So I think this is a bug in v18.09 with URL prefix. Ping

Nginx+Shibboleth+UCSC
by Martin Demko 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

Dear list, I have been trying to manage an access to UCSC genome browser from our Galaxy instance which uses Nginx as a proxy with external authentication via Shibboleth and IdP service. Not even the configuration of nginx+shibboleth was quite complicated to achieve (but I succeeded after a week or so) but now during a testing phase, we have found out that a cooperation with external UCSC servers is forbidden due to our auth. configuration. I have found a way how to do that but only for Apache (https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/special_topics/apache.html#d…) so I tried to do something similar in Nginx but only with IP addresses as Nginx doesn't support using of named domains and defined a location: location /display_as { satisfy any; deny all; allow 128.114.119.131; allow 128.114.119.132; allow 128.114.119.133; allow 128.114.119.134; allow 128.114.119.135; allow 128.114.119.136; } Used IP addresses should be the right ones for UCSC servers according to few sources such as (https://genome.soe.ucsc.narkive.com/sll2JSk2/ucsc-ip-address) hgw1.cse.ucsc.edu hgw2.cse.ucsc.edu hgw3.cse.ucsc.edu hgw4.cse.ucsc.edu hgw5.cse.ucsc.edu hgw6.cse.ucsc.edu I tried to change the location also to "/display_application" but didn't help (actually, I don't know why in the documentation there is used as the location that "/display_as" as I have never encountered such location in Galaxy which is my first question). In galaxy.ini I set: display_servers = hgw1.cse.ucsc.edu,hgw2.cse.ucsc.edu,hgw3.cse.ucsc.edu,hgw4.cse.ucsc.edu,hgw5.cse.ucsc.edu,hgw6.cse.ucsc.edu,hgw7.cse.ucsc.edu,hgw8.cse.ucsc.edu,lowepub.cse.ucsc.edu,128.114.119.131,128.114.119.132,128.114.119.133,128.114.119.134,128.114.119.135,128.114.119.136 Just for case I used both, the domains and also IP addresses. Also I have tried to use only the domains or only the addresses but nothing helped. Then I found out after reading of the following (https://www.switch.ch/aai/guides/sp/access-rules/) that the main obstacle should be actually shibboleth so I defined in /etc/shibboleth/shibboleth2.xml an unrestricted path: <RequestMapper type="XML"> <RequestMap> <Host name="our.galaxy.something" authType="shibboleth" requireSession="true" redirectToSSL="443" > <Path name="display_application" requireSession="false" redirectToSSL="443" />  </Host> </RequestMap> </RequestMapper> Again, I have tried to use both locations "display_as" and "display_application", but it haven't solved my problem entirely. I moved forward I suppose because now the requests should be going around the authentication but UCSC stil warns me that: Expected 200 https://our.galaxy.something/display_application/e1304269a2f56a52/ucsc_bigw…: 403 Forbidden Before that it was a different message containing the address of our idp server so I believe I'am on the right way here. The presence of attribute 'authType="shibboleth"' seams to be useless as 'requireSession="false"' is used. Then I tried to teach Nginx to use also the domain names with the using of 3rd party nginx-http-rdns module from (https://github.com/flant/nginx-http-rdns) so my nginx.conf looked like: ....only the part of nginx.conf.... ############## Shibboleth authentication conf ################# # FastCGI authorizer for Shibboleth Auth Request module location = /shibauthorizer { internal; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/shibboleth/shibauthorizer.sock; } # FastCGI responder for SSO location /Shibboleth.sso { include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/shibboleth/shibresponder.sock; } ############### Entry point for Galaxy ############### # Location secured by Shibboleth location / { shib_request /shibauthorizer; more_clear_input_headers 'Variable-*' 'Shib-*' 'Remote-User' 'REMOTE_USER' 'Auth-Type' 'AUTH_TYPE' 'GX_SECRET'; include uwsgi_params; shib_request_set $shib_id $upstream_http_variable_eppn; uwsgi_param HTTP_REMOTE_USER $shib_id; uwsgi_param HTTP_GX_SECRET $our_secret; uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:4001; # resolver $correct_resolver_acc_to_resolv.conf; # rdns on; # satisfy any; # rdns_allow genome\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw1\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw2\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw3\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw4\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw5\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw6\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw7\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw8\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; } # location /display_as { # resolver $correct_resolver_acc_to_resolv.conf; # rdns on; # satisfy any; # rdns_allow genome\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw1\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw2\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw3\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw4\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw5\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw6\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw7\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw8\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # } # location /display_application { # resolver $correct_resolver_acc_to_resolv.conf; # rdns on; # satisfy any; # rdns_allow genome\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw1\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw2\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw3\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw4\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw5\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw6\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw7\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # rdns_allow hgw8\.cse\.ucsc\.edu; # } ....END of the part of nginx.conf.... Everything commented out, I tried to use together or one at the time but nothing helped. But there are differences: 1) when uncommented only location /display_application - I will get just a blank page with: 404 Not Found. 2) when uncommented only location /display_as - nothing changes. 3) when uncommented part inside the location "/" - I will get a new message: Error unexpected end of input reading http header on https://our.galaxy.something/display_application/e1304269a2f56a52/ucsc_bigw… And now I'm out of ideas. I would really appreciate any help. PS: I stil don't get why in the documentation for Apache configuration (https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/admin/special_topics/apache.html#d…) there is used the /display_as location. Can somebody explain, please? Thank you in advance, Martin Demko

About Galaxy Galaxy (https://galaxyproject.org/) is a platform for data integration and analysis in the life sciences. It enables researchers to build, run, share, and repeat their own complex computational analyses using only a web browser and without having to first learn system administration and command line interfaces. The Galaxy Project is driven by a vibrant community who publish workflows and analyses, wrap new tools, maintain and enhance the source code, provide support, and write documentation and training materials. Galaxy is open-source and freely available, and is deployed in hundreds of organizations, running on everything from laptops through supercomputers to public and private clouds. Over 150 of these platforms are publicly available and can be used with little or no setup. Thousands of tools have been ported to Galaxy ("wrapped") and are deployable from the Galaxy Tool Shed. Galaxy was developed to support life science research, but the software is domain agnostic and is now used in domains as diverse as natural language processing, constructive solid geometry, and social science. We hope to see you in Freiburg! GCC2019 Organizers -- https://galaxyproject.org/gcc2019/ https://galaxyproject.org/ https://usegalaxy.org/

user login / registration problem
by Matthias Bernt 10 Apr '19

10 Apr '19

Hi, on our ldap-autoregistration Galaxy-dev instance (details below) no new users can be auto-registered since recently because of https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/7617 to me it seems that the function ``` message, status, user, success = self.__register(trans, **kwd) ``` called in `lib/galaxy/webapps/galaxy/controllers/user.py` (L90) got lost between 19.01 and now. Would be great to get some feedback. I could help with debugging or contributing, but I'm wondering how, since I would need to purge a user in order test this (creation of a new ldap user involves a lot of administrative work) .. and this seems impossible at the moment. Cheers, Matthias P.S. Instance details if of interest: we have a dev instance that uses ldap for authentication, ie users can not create accounts on their own, but the account gets created if they are in ldap. So I have in galaxy.yml `allow_user_creation: false` and in auth_conf ``` <allow-register>Challenge</allow-register> <auto-register>True</auto-register> ``` The configuration worked till recently (LDAP authentication still works according to the logs) -- ------------------------------------------- Matthias Bernt Bioinformatics Service Molekulare Systembiologie (MOLSYB) Helmholtz-Zentrum für Umweltforschung GmbH - UFZ/ Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research GmbH - UFZ Permoserstraße 15, 04318 Leipzig, Germany Phone +49 341 235 482296, m.bernt(a)ufz.de, www.ufz.de Helmholtz-Zentrum für Umweltforschung GmbH - UFZ Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research GmbH - UFZ Permoserstraße 15, 04318 Leipzig, Germany Phone +49 341 235 1269, Fax +49 341 235 1468 (optional) max.mustermann(a)ufz.de, www.ufz.de Sitz der Gesellschaft/Registered Office: Leipzig Registergericht/Registration Office: Amtsgericht Leipzig Handelsregister Nr./Trade Register Nr.: B 4703 Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats/Chairman of the Supervisory Board: MinDirig Wilfried Kraus Wissenschaftlicher Geschäftsführer/Scientific Managing Director: Prof. Dr. Georg Teutsch Administrative Geschäftsführerin/Administrative Managing Director: Dr. Sabine König
