User creation with upstream authentication
Hello We would like to force users to register even when they successfully pass through our University's single sign-on service (Apache + cosign). We have: use_remote_user = True allow_user_creation = False in the universe_wsgi.ini, but it appears that use_remote_user takes precedence over allow_user_creation. Ideally, we'd like users who get through the single sign-on to be presented with a message like "to use galaxy please register by emailing someone@ed.ac.uk". Is this possible?

Hi Steve, This is not really possible in Galaxy without some hacking since as you have discovered, remote_user takes precedence over all of the built-in user controls. You can implement authorization in Apache, though, as a workaround. --nate
