Dear galaxy developers,
I'm currently trying to establish galaxy at the UFZ research center in Leipzig. I have some questions on how to match the infrastructure of galaxy and and our local infrastructure. I would be really happy about some comments on my ideas.
Galaxy external authentication via LDAP is already working -- worked like a charm :)
How to integrate LDAP group data into galaxy?
My idea would be to regularly sync the groups and user-group associations from LDAP to galaxy via the API/bioblend.
Adding groups and user-group associations should be no problem, but how about removing users, groups, or associations? Are there any pitfalls that I need to consider? How about data associated with deleted users? Maybe there are already some scripts around that I could build upon?
Best, Matthias
P.S. I'm afraid that I ask quite a lot of questions at the moment. I hope that I will be soon able to contribute a bit.
