Custom Galaxy auth provider
by Matthieu DANIEL
Hello all,
We are currently installing our first galaxy instance and very happy
with. But for security needs, we must implement our auth provider.
It is very similar to the ldap auth provider but need to get ip
information to match specific information from specific database.
Is there a simple way to have the IP of the user who's logging in the
web portal directly accessible from the python provider code ?
Thank you for all the answers !
Best,
Matth

Re: (null):// header in visualisation links (IGV etc.)
by Lubos Klucar
Dear Helena,
thanks a lot, but I'm afraid this is not the case - 'RequestHeader' is
set as described.
It should be probably some trivial mistake hidden somewhere in the
config files, which enable/disable a proper construction of URL text
string. I was looking everywhere, but still no luck.

April 2021 Galaxy newsletter
by Beatriz Serrano-Solano
Hello all,
This newsletter coincides with the anniversary of James Taylor's death
<https://galaxyproject.org/news/2021-04-galaxy-update/#featured-news> on
April 2, 2020. James was a Galaxy Project founder and PI, and losing him at
the same time as the global COVID-19 shutdown made for a tough month, and
then a tough year for the Galaxy Community. To mark this, there are two
items about James below. First, *a call to share your favorite story about
James* via a 30 second video (by April 30). Second, there is a link to *a
note to James* written by project leadership (mainly Anton).
The other big news is that registration, abstract submission, and
fellowship applications for the 2021 Galaxy Community Conference are now
open <https://galaxyproject.org/news/2021-04-galaxy-update/#community-news>.
Abstracts and fellowship applications are due by May 7.
And as always there are sections on
- *upcoming events
<https://galaxyproject.org/news/2021-04-galaxy-update/#event-news>*,
- news about *public Galaxy platforms
<https://galaxyproject.org/news/2021-04-galaxy-update/#galaxy-platforms-news>*
,
- recent *blog posts
<https://galaxyproject.org/news/2021-04-galaxy-update/#galactic-blog-activity>*
,
- *training and doc updates
<https://galaxyproject.org/news/2021-04-galaxy-update/#doc-hub-and-trainin...>*
,
- recent *open-access Galaxy-related publications
<https://galaxyproject.org/news/2021-04-galaxy-update/#publications>*,
and
- *new releases
<https://galaxyproject.org/news/2021-04-galaxy-update/#releases>.*
It's been a memorable twelve months. It would have been easy to curl up and
hide, but we kept going, addressed gaps, and helped address the global
pandemic as well.
Thanks for supporting each other,
Dave Clements and Beatriz Serrano-Solano, Editors
