Feature #15736
Updated by Ward Vandewege over 4 years ago
In workbench, it is possible to add a cluster to the site manager and log in to a remote user, even if that cluster is not defined in the federation and there is no remote user account that WB can access: the user gets redirected to the appropriate SSO, and then eventually returned to the requesting WB, having a logged in session with the remote cluster.
For WB2, this doesn't work anymore: the user simply sees "Could not validate cluster" when trying to do this. E.g. when trying to add qr1hi.arvadosapi.com from wb2.4xphq's site manager.
We want to keep supporting this feature to allow for multisite search to an ephemeral cluster.
