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

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
