Re: [galaxy-dev] Galaxy v17.09 impersonation doesn't work

[Ping Luo]

Hans-Rudolf,

I just started a brand new galaxy with the default internal database. I did
the minimal change to galaxy.ini so that I could use CAS authentication.
Still, impersonation failed.

Re: [galaxy-dev] Galaxy v17.09 impersonation doesn't work

Hi Ping


Does it work with a fresh installation ( v17.09) staring with an empty 
PostgrSQL database?

Hans-Rudolf,

We use CAS authentication and our database is Postgresql. Our current
Galaxy is v15.07 and impersonation works well. I have tried v16.10
before and impersonation didn't work either.

Thanks,

Hi Ping

The 'impersonate a user' function works for me with v17.09.


I assume, you have set: "allow_user_impersonation = True" in the
galaxy.ini file?


Do you encounter this problem, for the first time, i.e did it work
before using (v17.05 or earlier) and you only have the issues after
upgrading?

What database do you use?

Do you use external authentication?

After clicking the person to impersonate, the webpage shows "you
have
now logged in as xxx, return to home page', where 'xxx' is the
name of
the person I want to impersonate. So far so good. But after I click
home, and check the login information, the login name is still
myself.

Is there anything I missed in the configuration file?

Thanks,

Hans-Rudolf,

Yes, I have set the flag to be true

# Allow administrators to log in as other users (useful for debugging)
allow_user_impersonation = True

We use CAS authentication and our database is Postgresql. Our current
Galaxy is v15.07 and impersonation works well. I have tried v16.10 before
and impersonation didn't work either.

Hi Ping

The 'impersonate a user' function works for me with v17.09.


I assume, you have set: "allow_user_impersonation = True" in the 
galaxy.ini file?



Do you encounter this problem, for the first time, i.e did it work 
before using (v17.05 or earlier) and you only have the issues after 
upgrading?


What database do you use?

Do you use external authentication?

person I want to impersonate. So far so good. But after I click home, and
check the login information, the login name is still myself.
