Hi,
we want to use a standalone Galaxy server here and integrate that with our Sun Grinengine cluster. While I could find information on how to do that I also want to know if it's possible to use our local user database (NIS based) to manage the galaxy users and make their galaxy scripts running with their userid. Could somebody tell me if that is a) easy b) hard c) impossible
Hi Andreas,
Mostly "impossible" at present, as in code to do it does not yet exist. However, it's been requested by numerous users, so it's on our roadmap. I've created an issue for it in our tracker:
from this issue I gleam that at least the first part (use a local user database) should be possible: "Some Galaxy installations tightly integrate Galaxy users with system users." Could you point me to any docs describing this? Thanks, Andreas
