Labkey/Panorama server not recognized in Skyline

Labkey/Panorama server not recognized in Skyline mlane  2020-08-13 14:42

Hi,

We just set up Community edition Labkey to test Panorama with Skyline. I was able to access it directly through browser, log-in and create project folders and subfolders setup as Panorama.

However, Skyline don't connect to the server and gives error that reads
that our server url is not a Panorama server. I'm wondering if it's a setting for the site, or permission? See attached for error message.

Thanks,

Monica Lane

Hi,

I just wanted to update you that we resolved this particular issue with Skyline support team. In case you're interested, the fix is to add the Site: Guests user group to the Reader role. When Skyline is connecting to Panorama server, even though you give provide user account and password in the connection preferences, it doesn't use this information for initial check of the server. Of course, it does use the user log-in credentials to upload to the server.

They may address this in future version of Skyline but this is the workaround for now.

Hello Monica,

Thank you for reaching out to us!

There are a couple of things you could try

  1. Could you make sure that the correct context path is included? You may need to add /labkey to the URL.
  2. Even though Skyline asks for your username and password in the "Edit Server" dialog, Skyline does not use these credentials when Skyline is trying to determine whether the server is a Panorama server. You can workaround this behavior by changing the permissions for "home". Add "Site: Guests" to the reader section.

Let me know if you still run into issues after doing so.

Thanks,
Chet
