I see it in lib/galaxy/webapps/galaxy/controllers/user.py, but I think at that point its too late.I finally got around to this and all is working well. I submitted 2 patches to remoteuser.py to assist in debugging incorrect set ups.Last question - When a user logs out, they get the page ""Access to Galaxy user controls is disabled". I've set the remote_user_logout_href parameter to a different website, but they still get the "Access to Galaxy user controls is disabled".On Tue, Sep 8, 2015 at 4:05 PM, Ryan G <ngsbioinformatics@gmail.com> wrote:Yes, I have a test server I'm going to check this one. thanks for the link, that's perfect...I'll add some debugging code in here to see what's going on.On Tue, Sep 8, 2015 at 1:46 PM, Dannon Baker <dannon.baker@gmail.com> wrote:Do you have a way to verify the "HTTP_MAIL" header is actually being passed through your proxy server?The problem is that Galaxy still doesn't think it's receiving the expected headers, so there isn't a good way that it can tell you more about what might be going on. If you're able to tweak Galaxy (using a test server) and add a few logging statements the code, this would be good places to check what's going on (print the `environ` dictionary associated with that request, along with self.remote_user_header to see what Galaxy is actually trying to use):On Thu, Sep 3, 2015 at 1:51 PM, Ryan G <ngsbioinformatics@gmail.com> wrote:It turns out our authentication system passes a header 'HTTP_MAIL' which contains the users email address. In galaxy.ini, I have

remote_user_header = HTTP_MAILAfter restarting,Galaxy still gives the same error.On Mon, Aug 31, 2015 at 3:44 PM, Dannon Baker <dannon.baker@gmail.com> wrote: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!-DannonOn Mon, Aug 31, 2015 at 3:42 PM, Ryan G <ngsbioinformatics@gmail.com> wrote:___________________________________________________________How do I track this down?But nothing in paster.log indicating what the error is.When I try to access Galaxy, I get the message: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
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.
