Hi,
I’m trying to configure a new instance of Galaxy and I want to use LDAP for user authentication. I have taken a look at this wiki page: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/ExternalUserAuth
I followed the instructions and when I looked into the auth_conf.xml file, I was unsure of what exactly Galaxy is looking for when trying to connect with LDAP. Are there specific options that I must give it? May I ask how Galaxy uses LDAP to authenticate users?
Thank you, Miuki Yip
Hi Miuki, the file config/auth_conf.xml.sample contains examples and documentation of possible values that you have to put in your config/auth_conf.xml , unfortunately a lot depends on what LDAP/Active Directory server you are using and how it is configured. You may need to ask advice to the system administrators of your LDAP server. If you have specific questions/problems, feel free to ask here on the mailing list and/or on the IRC channel.
Cheers, Nicola

Hi,
A serious problem that I have found with Galaxy integration with LDAP is that it does not allow underscores in the user name, and that is very common with production LDAP servers.

Actually it's Galaxy (not the LDAP integration) that doesn't allow underscores in usernames, in fact if you try to register a new user on e.g. usegalaxy.org and the username has an underscore, you'll get this error:
Public name must contain only lowercase letters, numbers and "-". It also has to be shorter than 255 characters but longer than 2.

Sorry, that was what I meant and explained myself poorly.
This is actually a very serious problem if one wants to integrate Galaxy in an existing SSO environment based on LDAP.

I don't think there is any good reason. Public username's main purpose originally was to generate slugs for URLs so we left out "-". Shouldn't break anything to add it.

I was reading a bit about this (I manage a LDAP server, but I am far from a specialist) and the format is actually too flexible: Any UTF-8 encoding with up to 64 characters.
I suspect basic punctation marks would be enough. Though I could see a Windows based SSO system (AD) accepting spaces and maybe even that being a usual convention (just speculating here).
But _s and .s are probably very common across existing installations.

Hi,
I was reading a bit about this (I manage a LDAP server, but I am far from a specialist) and the format is actually too flexible: Any UTF-8 encoding with up to 64 characters.
I suspect basic punctation marks would be enough. Though I could see a Windows based SSO system (AD) accepting spaces and maybe even that being a usual convention (just speculating here).
But _s and .s are probably very common across existing installations.
Let's start with that at first :) Do you have time to work on this or can create a tracking issue?
I do not have time to work on this, but I created the issue some time ago:
