Hi Hans,

Thanks for the advice! Sadly, I think our situations might not be the same. 
We've been using external auth for a long time, so it's definitely not a new 
change, and the user in question created their account after this was in place. 
We log our users in with just their IU username, and tack the "@indiana.edu" 
onto it with Apache to create the email address after authenticating the 
username through IU. I checked the galaxy_user table, and there doesn't seem to 
be any accidental duplicates or funny business with the user name.

User is active, external, not deleted, not purged, and we don't enforce any 
disk quotas.

I pulled the histories associated with the user id:
select * from history where user_id = '95' ;
  id  |        create_time         |        update_time         | user_id |     
   name        | hid_counter | deleted | purged | genome_build | importable | 
slug | published | importing

I took a look at "RNAseq": 
select * from history_dataset_association where history_id = '1722';
id: 10027
history_id: 1722
dataset_id: 7258    
create_time: 2014-02-28 20:51:32.369667

I found this file in the dataset_files and there doesn't appear to be anything 
wrong about it. It appears that the datasets in question were downloaded from 
Galaxy main (by the looks of the upload URL). 

I'm at a loss. I'll ask the user to clear all their browser information just in 
case this is something simple like that. I'll ask them to re-upload those 
files. In the meantime, any other sleuthing suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated.

Sincerely,

Carrie Ganote

Hi Carrie

Was the history which is causing troubles created before you switched to
external authentication? Or has the user a slightly different e-mail
address now? eg different use of capital letters, like 'foo.bar@home'
and 'Foo.Bar@home'  - we had such problems, when we switched to external
authentication.

I had to dig into our MySQL database and fix the "galaxy_user" table. In
your case, I recommend looking at the "galaxy_user" table and check
whether the user has more than one entry. Take the "id" (ie the number)
and search the "history" table using the id as 'user_id'. I would guess
you can fix your problem by changing the 'user_id' in the "history"
table for the history which is causing troubles.

BUT, BE VERY CAREFUL! you can do a lot of damage to the database. Switch
off the galaxy server first, and MAKE a back up the database before you
change anything.

Regards, Hans-Rudolf
