I reply myself...here is my working configuration authenticating galaxy with my openldap server

https://gist.github.com/pescobar/6a2a038d40158e381fcd

With this setup, the first login to galaxy has to be done with username/password so the account is created in the galaxy db with the email fetched from ldap. Once the account exists in galaxy db the login can be done with username/password or email/password.

The search-filter is looking for uid and mail fields from my ldap database. I also fetch the dn field to connect to ldap using dn/password

regards,

Pablo.

Hi,

currently I am validating my users with openldap in apache. As in the new release of galaxy there is native support to validate againts ldap from galaxy I have upgraded to latest galaxy release and I am trying to configure auth_conf.xml but I cannot manage to get it working with my openldap.

I see the provided example auth_conf.xml.sample is validating again active directory. Can anyone provide a working auth_conf.xml which is working with openldap so I can take it as reference?

thanks in advance for any help.
regards,
Pablo.
