Hi,
I have a question regarding the user authentication of Galaxy.
As to my knowledge galaxy uses http, also for the authentication, so the User Email and
the password are send in clear text.
As I like to use Galaxy for user-authentication and due several disadvantages not an
external authentification like described here
(
https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/ExternalUserDatbases):
Is there any way of using https or an encryption-method for sending user email and
password.
Hi Matthias,
You can still serve Galaxy over HTTPS by placing it behind a proxy, even if you do not
intend to perform authentication in the proxy. You'll just need to set X-URL-SCHEME in
the proxy, as documented:
For nginx:
https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/nginxProxy
For Apache:
https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/ApacheProxy
--nate
With kind regards,
Matthias Enders
