Joe, I think all you have to do is set up auth in nginx (I use the http auth PAM module in Linux from http://web.iti.upv.es/~sto/nginx/ configured based on the accompanied documentation) and then tell it to set the REMOTE_USER variable when it proxies for galaxy with (in location / or where appropriate in your nginx config): proxy_set_header REMOTE_USER $remote_user; And then turn on remote auth in galaxy: use_remote_user = True remote_user_maildomain = myhost.domain Derek Gottlieb HPC Systems Analyst, CSC Alabama Supercomputer Center 686 Discovery Dr., Huntsville, AL 35806 High Performance Computing | p: +1-256-971-7416 | f: +1-256-971-7491 | dgottlieb@asc.edu | www.asc.edu On Apr 1, 2011, at 11:20 AM, Joe Cruz wrote:

Hello,

Has anyone configured external authentication on nginx and if so could you please share your configuration?

Thanks,

Joe
