Hello Jelle, Tools are not tightly integrated with the Galaxy framework by design. Galaxy provides an interface to tools, but every tool can also be run from the command lines as a stand-alone component. Because of this, distributed tools do not depend on specific Galaxy entities like a Galaxy user or password, and the distributed Galaxy framework does not enable this. You could decide to add your won logic to enable this, however. Greg Von Kuster Galaxy Development Team Jelle Scholtalbers wrote:

Hi,

is there a possibility to have the type 'password' in the input parameter section? So that the password the user is typing is not shown on screen? Considering users and passwords, can I use user information (from a user that is logged in) in my tool configuration files?

Cheers, Jelle
