Re: [galaxy-dev] bug: API broken under remote_user

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Iyad, Thanks for posting configs! I'm very curious how this actually works for you. I'm running the API scripts from the galaxy server itself, and I made requests to http://fqdn/galaxy/, http://localhost:####/, and http://localhost:####/galaxy/ The request to the fqdn unsurprisingly fails as apache answers it, and apache requires authentication. Both of the localhost requests also fail (403), indicating that galaxy was forbidding me due to lack of a REMOTE_USER variable being set: > 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. - From my tests, I conclude that the routes under /api/ also have the requirement on REMOTE_USER being set. (Maybe a dev can chime in on this?) I'm fairly certain the only way to get the /api/ route to work with the apache config presented is to statically set REMOTE_USER, such that it's always a valid galaxy user. You don't set a static REMOTE_USER variable in your apache config, so when galaxy is serving requests from outside users, in my understanding, the REMOTE_USER var will be unset, and galaxy should refuse to answer it.

You need to route your /galaxy/api folder to a proxy that does not require authentication. Maybe this isn't the best way but it works for AAFC's production galaxy.
