Hey Eric,
I am pretty sure Iyad's configuration is right - here is a similar
config for nginx with some discussion of the API problem
.
It is fine if it is "empty" it just has to be set and in fact it
should use the real remote user if available so the UI elements that
target the API without a key continue to function properly (which I
guess is slowly becoming all of the UI). This is what that apache
config and my nginx config do I believe.
Does this answer your question, do you have lingering concerns?

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:

- 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.
Cheers,
Eric

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. See my apache
