Hi All, Digging up an ancient thread because it is, once again, relevant to me. As per Iyad's suggestion, we added a special apache conf section for the API access which sets REMOTE_USER, and API access works, but it introduces a whole new set of issues!
History is (now?) accessed through the API, so after switching apache over to providing a 'default' REMOTE_USER value, I can no longer access my histories, every attempt to switch histories generates a new "Unnamed history". Additionally, history issue aside, this leads us to an issue with bioblend; while we can access and interact with the API, we cannot download datasets through the API, those are served on separate routes, not covered by API access. During download attempts, authentication information is required, and BioBlend returns with a 401 Unauthorized. Upload seems to work just fine though. Wondering if anyone had suggestions here.
