Hello,
Just a quick update - I'm still having problems - I have tested out the remote_user variable setting with a php script and it is being set to the email address entered in the LDAP authentication page but Galaxy is giving me the error:
Access to Galaxy is denied
Galaxy is configured to authenticate users via an external method (such as HTTP authentication in Apache), but a username was not provided by the upstream (proxy) server. This is generally due to a misconfiguration in the upstream server.
Please contact your local Galaxy administrator.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Kimberly

Have you tried it with your working URL? It looks like it returns a full email:

The sample page connects but the galaxy page says the REMOTE_USER is empty like this:

Then if I change it up a bit and keep the URL line with the mail reference and change the request header to the uid reference - the sample page loads but the galaxy page gives the above access denied message and these messages in the galaxy log:

I have also tried a zillion combinations with the ou, dc and sub tags to no avail - but I might have missed the one combination that works!
Just putting this out there in case it is obvious to you guys where the problem may be.....
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Kimberly,
If you're using that exact block, it would not work. Your AuthLDAPURL value will need to be modified to your site. This normally means changing:
"ldap://" to "ldaps://" if using LDAP over SSL. "server" to the hostname of your LDAP server. "389" to an alternate port if applicable. "ou=People" to another organizational unit if your user accounts live at a different location in the LDAP directory (although "People" is the standard) "dc=domain,dc=edu" to the base distinguished name used by your LDAP server (usually, but not always, your DNS domain) "uid" to the LDAP field containing the user name. "person" to one of the object classes assigned to account entries.
This requires a pretty substantial knowledge of LDAP, so if unsure, it'd be best to contact your LDAP directory administrator.

Hi Nate,
Yes - it works fine for the sample ldap page but gives the same galaxy message on screen:
Access to Galaxy is denied
Galaxy is configured to authenticate users via an external method (such as HTTP authentication in Apache), but a username was not provided by the upstream (proxy) server. This is generally due to a misconfiguration in the upstream server.
Please contact your local Galaxy administrator.
