This should be possible with Apache as the proxy and the mod_auth_pam Apache module. From a high level, the configuration should be similar to using mod_authnz_ldap or mod_auth_kerb as documented here: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/ExternalUserDatbases

I don't know how one would do this precisely but I believe it is possible at the proxy level - i.e. setting up Apache to handle this and authenticate with system resources. I believe Tim Booth's work on integrating galaxy into biolinux uses system users for authentication by default.

The following thread has more discussion on that: http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2014-March/018770.html

More generic information on configuring an Apache Proxy can be found here: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/ApacheProxy

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I have configured Galaxy, but I would be very interested in configure it with PAM or /etc/passwd (/etc/shadow) instead of creating a user in the

interface. How can I configure Galaxy for authenticating with system files?
