Can Galaxy be restricted to specific users?
Can it be integrated with Kerberos authentication?
Can it be easily restricted to certain IP addresses or IP ranges?

The best way to do all of these things is likely by proxying through a web server like Apache. Galaxy can be configured to use the user id provided by apache (REMOTE_USER) and to not allow creation of new accounts. Similarly, you can restrict access to certain addresses using apaches Allow/Deny rules.
See "External user authentication" here:
