Hi, Dear Galaxy Developers,
We installed a local instance of galaxy.
The "Forget password " link seems to have some issue:
After clicking the link and filled email, we get the link to reset password in the email. However, the link will direct to the login page again!
It will work only if there is another tab with galaxy logged in already. The logged in account could be any account, not necessary to the one that claimed to reset the password. In another word, if another tab exists with galaxy user logged in, it will work fine by clicking the reset password link from the email, the link directs me to the new password and confirm password page.
We turned off the user activation and user registration function in our instance of galaxy.
Can anyone provide some suggestion where might go wrong with our settings?
Thanks for your time!

Hi, xunshengbu
What is the revision/version of galaxy that you're using?
Are you using the require_login option?
Thanks
Yes. The require login option was turned on.
The version is release_15.07, I assume? Below is the most recent commit log.

Merge branch 'release_15.07'
I will try if it works when it's off. However, we'd like this feature as we don't want anyone with the link can register. Is that possible? It seems the require login is over ruling reset password. But one forgets password can hardly login, right? :-)
Thanks for you time!
Galaxy version is release_15.07
Heya, xunshengbu: we're tracking this down now. Thanks for the information.
Hi, xunshengbu
See Dannon's (Dannon Baker) comment on the github issue link that Jen provided in the answer below (A: Local Galaxy reset password link doesn't work ):
https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/1272.
(edit to correct mangled links)
I modified the local file accordingly and restart. It works great! Simply one line to fix it!
Thank you all for the help!
Good news! jen
