Hi Ryan, It may be that Galaxy is looking for a different remote user header than your proxy is setting. I believe by default we look for HTTP_REMOTE_USER, but this is configurable in galaxy.ini (so, you could set yours to HTTP_USER there). Let me know if this doesn't sort it out for you and we can dig deeper! -Dannon On Mon, Aug 31, 2015 at 3:42 PM, Ryan G <ngsbioinformatics@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi all - I'm trying to use external user authentication with Galaxy. The external authentication passes to Galaxy the username with the mail domain at HTTP_USER.
In galaxy.ini, I enable: use_remote_user = True
When I try to access Galaxy, I get the message: Galaxy is configured to authenticate users via an external method (such as HTTP authentication in Apache), but a username was not provided by the upstream (proxy) server. This is generally due to a misconfiguration in the upstream server.
But nothing in paster.log indicating what the error is.
How do I track this down?
