Hi Joe,
Both Help and User are not direct links, but hovering over this text
should activate a popup menu. If this is not the case it's possible
that the appropriate javascript is not loading.
By local authentication, do you mean Galaxy's internal authentication,
or your site's local authentication system? You can use Galaxy behind a
proxy without using your site's authentication, even if Apache is
configured to authenticate users. By setting:
use_remote_user = False
(the default), Galaxy will ignore any authentication data (the
REMOTE_USER header) provided by Apache. If you are trying to do the
opposite (use your site's authentication in Apache to authenticate
Galaxy users), you'll need to set use_remote_user to True.

The snippets include the block they go inside, so for example, the
first:
http {
# ... other http stuff ...
upstream galaxy_app {
server localhost:8080;
}
server {
client_max_body_size 10G;
# ... other server stuff ...
location / {
proxy_pass http://galaxy_app;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
}
}
In this case, the 'upstream' block goes inside 'http'. 'server' goes
inside 'http' and contains the 'location' block.

Yes, it can.
