We also ran into this. Our local server configuration was case-sensitive and the LDAP uid key was converted to upper-case, so we used:
RequestHeader set REMOTE_USER %{AUTHENTICATE_UID}e
which fixed the problem. We found the solution by searching for 'AUTHENTICATE_uid', it appears to be a relatively common thing.
Beyond that everything else was the same from the Galaxy wiki.

Hi Sarah:
I don't know what kind of LDAP you're talking to... I'm talking to Active Directory and this configuration works in that situation.

Hello,
I'm trying to install galaxy on a apache server,and i have the same error message than David HOOVER when i tried to generate the authentification files. Thanks to David Hoover who gives me some helpful explanation.
When i read the thread on gmod, it seems,that the problem is solved (http://gmod.827538.n3.nabble.com/trouble-with-authentication-through-Apac he-td1809681.html http://gmod.827538.n3.nabble.com/trouble-with-authentication-through-Apac he-td1809681.html) but I did not find the solution in my case.
I use LDAP authentification and Galaxy is implemented on a VM.
Could you please explain me how to solve it. I really need help.
I modified universe file ( in galaxy-dist) and i created .htaccess file in galaxy-dist/ :
- in universe_wsgi.ini:
use_remote_user = True remote_user_maildomain = example.org http://example.org
- in .htaccess file in galaxy-dist/ Directory :

with location, AuthBasicProvider and proxy competed
But i have 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.
Thank you, and best regards
