Crazy coincidence, I had the same problem and hadn't even seen the original e-mail from Jillian. My pull request implementing this was merged by Nate earlier this week.

You can just grab the three changesets out of there and apply them to your local galaxy repository. Then you just need to set the new `ftp_upload_dir_identifier` option in universe_wsgi.ini to `username`.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I have a galaxy instance authentication using LDAP. The authentication works fine, and I would like to enable the user upload option.

I would like to have:

user_library_import_dir = /a/path

and for galaxy to look for users with just the username. So if I log in with auser@example.com

I want for galaxy to look in /a/path/auser instead of /a/path/auser@example.com

Is there anywhere I can set this?

I'll try it out early next week, but its good to know someone else is interested in the same feature. ________________________________________ From: Adam Brenner [aebrenne@uci.edu] Sent: Friday, April 19, 2013 12:42 AM To: John Chilton Cc: Jillian Rowe; galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu Subject: Re: [galaxy-dev] user names with authentication

John, that worked! I was able to upload some sample files using usernames, rather then full email address. No errors, no bugs.

Thanks! -Adam
