Hi,
I have a question regarding the user authentication of Galaxy.
As to my knowledge galaxy uses http, also for the authentication, so the User
Email and the password are send in clear text.
As I like to use Galaxy for user-authentication and due several disadvantages
not an external authentification like described here
(https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/ExternalUserDatbases):
Is there any way of using https or an encryption-method for sending user
email and password.
Hi Matthias,
You can still serve Galaxy over HTTPS by placing it behind a proxy, even if you
do not intend to perform authentication in the proxy. You'll just need to set
X-URL-SCHEME in the proxy, as documented:
For nginx: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/nginxProxy
For Apache: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/ApacheProxy
--nate
With kind regards,
Matthias Enders
