Hi Jelle and Sarah, I can't work on this issue right this moment, but have created an issue to track so it's not forgotten: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/767/when-remote_user-true-... --nate On Jun 3, 2012, at 7:43 AM, Jelle Scholtalbers wrote:

Hi Sarah,

although I do not have the answer to the issue, I had the same problem when I was using remote_user with apache and ldap authentication. I have too little knowledge of session ids/cookies, and it has been a while (>1,5yr), but somehow galaxy "thinks" you are in a new session and therefor creates a new history.

Cheers, Jelle

Each time a user connects to our local instance of Galaxy, a new history is automatically created. Therefore, the list of "Unnamed history" can become very long. Is there a way to reuse the same empty "Unnamed history" to avoid creating a new one every time?

Thank you in advance, Sarah
