Hans-Rudolf,

Yes, I have set the flag to be true

# Allow administrators to log in as other users (useful for debugging) allow_user_impersonation = True

We use CAS authentication and our database is Postgresql. Our current Galaxy is v15.07 and impersonation works well. I have tried v16.10 before and impersonation didn't work either.

Thanks,

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?

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

Hans-Rudolf,

I just started a brand new galaxy with the default internal database. I did the minimal change to galaxy.ini so that I could use CAS authentication. Still, impersonation failed.

Hi Ping

Does it work with a fresh installation ( v17.09) staring with an empty PostgrSQL database?
