Hi Ping

The 'impersonate a user' function works for me with v17.09.


I assume, you have set: "allow_user_impersonation = True" in the galaxy.ini file?


Do you encounter this problem, for the first time, i.e did it work before using (v17.05 or earlier) and you only have the issues after upgrading?

What database do you use?

Do you use external authentication?

The impersonation feature in Galaxy v17.09 doesn't work as expected.

After clicking the person to impersonate, the webpage shows "you have
now logged in as xxx, return to home page', where 'xxx' is the name of
the person I want to impersonate. So far so good. But after I click
home, and check the login information, the login name is still myself.

Is there anything I missed in the configuration file?

Thanks,

Ping
