Re: [galaxy-dev] Connecting LDAP with Galaxy

2016-08-09 Thread Tiago Antao

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:

 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

Re: [galaxy-dev] Connecting LDAP with Galaxy

2016-08-08 Thread Nicola Soranzo
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.

Nicola

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
