Hi Greg, I just changed the public name on the web interface, where you click on the User dropdown, and choose Public Name. Something about my environment let it happen, when it apparently should have not been possible.
I suspect the reason lies in some mismatch between my apache user authentication and toolshed userids. See my previous email for the details of what I've been doing with that. I don't understand the connection between userids (email addresses) used for authentication, and public names, which appear to be used by the mercurial server inside the toolshed (by inference from the public name appearing in the allow_push in the toolshed repo). Is there a layer of toolshed middleware that maps between the two? I am going to investigate other ways of doing the authentication, as I don't think passing in REMOTE_USER from apache is working (for me). I would like to know how others are doing that. cheers, Simon > -----Original Message----- > From: Greg Von Kuster [mailto:g...@bx.psu.edu] > Sent: Friday, 6 September 2013 1:17 a.m. > To: Guest, Simon > Cc: Dave Bouvier; galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu > Subject: Re: [galaxy-dev] Bug in toolshed: changing public name breaks > repo path > > Hello Simon, > > > On Sep 4, 2013, at 5:13 PM, "Guest, Simon" <simon.gu...@agresearch.co.nz> > wrote: > > > Hi Dave, Greg, > > > > Thanks for your reply. > > > > I'm running a recently checked out stable branch. hg log shows this > tip: > > changeset: 10473:c42567f43aa7 > > tag: tip > > user: greg > > date: Mon Aug 19 13:19:56 2013 -0400 > > summary: Filter invalid objects when generating the list of > repository_dependencies objects that are associated with a tool shed > repository installed into Galaxy. > > > > I wonder if this problem is related to my more fundamental problem of > being unable to get mercurial push authentication working properly.
