Hi Carlos! No, you don't need Apache. You can also use multiple authentication mechanisms at the same time, e.g. LDAP for users of a particular domain and the usual Galaxy database auth for the others. The configuration file you need to modify is config/auth_conf.xml, the options are documented on the .sample file (look at https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/config/auth_conf.xml.sample for the most updated version).

Good day Nicola,
Thank you for the advise on LDAP authentication. Did you need to run Galaxy on Apache to enable this, or did you simply change some configuration files to enable this. I think we’ll be able to write some scripts using SLURM commands to pull data about resource utilization, but my main concern is whether we need Apache to enable LDAP authentication of galaxy users.
Thanks again !
Carlos

Hi Carlos, we are using Active Directory LDAP for user authentication, which works pretty well, but only the Galaxy user to submit jobs to the LSF cluster queue, so I can't help with the resource tracking.
Cheers, Nicola

Everyone,
We are setting up Galaxy to work with our cluster and SLURM as the work manager. The cluster itself authenticates to our local Active Directory, so I’m wondering if the best way to track resource utilization of Galaxy users on the cluster is to also have Galaxy authenticate to the same Active Directory LDAP.
Is anyone on this list using the same configuration and tracking resource utilization from Galaxy users submitting jobs to the cluster nodes? Please advise.
Thank you all !
Carlos.
