[galaxy-dev] "allow administrators to impersonate other users"
Hi
The recently added new function allowing administrators to impersonate
other users is a really useful tool - thank you very much.
It works great on our development server. Unfortunately, it does not
work on our production server which relies on external authentication
via Apache. Is this a common problem? See below for the output in the
logs, when I tried to switch from 'hansrudolf.hotz(a)fmi.ch' to
'Tim.Roloff(a)fmi.ch'.
Has anybody else activated this functionality (with or without success)?
Regards, Hans
