Hi everyone, To answer my own question after testing various front-end auth setups it looks like REMOTE_USER must be the email address, and what's nice about LDAP is that you can have users authenticate with a username or other ID that is not the email address and still return the email address to Galaxy, if anyone needs help with such an LDAP configuration please ask me I have it working with Apache mod_authnz_ldap against Active Directory.
