Hi Nicola, Again I appreciate your help Nicola. I dropped the database and created new one and then I restarted galaxy. Once galaxy is up then I went to the login page and used the username without the @example.com part as you suggested. Now I got a different error as shown below. Something to do with the ldap_ad.py file. Is there anything I need to add to this file? Or this is because of my configuration file? galaxy.auth.providers.ldap_ad ERROR 2017-11-13 14:55:50,929 LDAP authenticate: search exception Traceback (most recent call last): File "/gpfs/home/gal_admin/galaxy/lib/galaxy/auth/providers/ldap_ad.py", line 126, in authenticate l = ldap.initialize(_get_subs(options, 'server', params)) File "/gpfs/home/gal_admin/galaxy/.venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ldap/functions.py", line 94, in initialize return LDAPObject(uri,trace_level,trace_file,trace_stack_limit) File "/gpfs/home/gal_admin/galaxy/.venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ldap/ldapobject.py", line 79, in __init__ self._l = ldap.functions._ldap_function_call(ldap._ldap_module_lock,_ldap.initialize,uri) File "/gpfs/home/gal_admin/galaxy/.venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ldap/functions.py", line 66, in _ldap_function_call result = func(*args,**kwargs) LDAPError: (2, 'No such file or directory') galaxy.auth DEBUG 2017-11-13 14:55:50,931 Email: , Username , stopping due to failed non-continue Hakeem Almabrazi Senior Software Architect Sidra Medical and Research Center Out-Patient Clinic PO Box 26999 , Al Luqta Street Education City North Campus Qatar Foundation Tel:+974-4003-7458 (ext:37458) | Mobile: +974-7479-4201 halmabrazi@sidra.org<mailto:halmabrazi@sidra.org> | www.sidra.org<http://www.sidra.org/> [Description: C:\Users\fgenevieve\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\O53SYTUP\Sidra-Logo-Member of QF Short.PNG] From: Nicola Soranzo [mailto:nicola.soranzo@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Nicola Soranzo Sent: Monday, November 13, 2017 1:17 PM To: Hakeem Almabrazi; galaxy-dev@lists.galaxyproject.org Subject: Re: [galaxy-dev] Active Directory Authentication question Hi Hakeem, since you are using: <login-use-username>True</login-use-username> you need to use your username without the "@mydomain.com" for the first login. After the first successful login, Galaxy will store the email associated to your username on the AD server in its user database and you will be able to use it as an alternative to your username to login.
