"allow administrators to impersonate other users"
Hi The recently added new function allowing administrators to impersonate other users is a really useful tool - thank you very much. It works great on our development server. Unfortunately, it does not work on our production server which relies on external authentication via Apache. Is this a common problem? See below for the output in the logs, when I tried to switch from 'hansrudolf.hotz@fmi.ch' to 'Tim.Roloff@fmi.ch'. Has anybody else activated this functionality (with or without success)?

Hi Hans, This feature was a quick hack, and you're quite right that it does not work with external authentication. This may be a bit tricky to fix, so I've created a bug report for it here: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/705/ --nate On Jan 23, 2012, at 7:28 AM, Hans-Rudolf Hotz wrote:
