Re: [galaxy-dev] use external authentication bare username as email address without appending any email domain
Hi again, Commenting out the following if-then-else as Nate recommended works in remoteuser.py works to achieve this goal: #if not environ[ 'HTTP_REMOTE_USER' ].count( '@' ): #if self.maildomain is not None: #environ[ 'HTTP_REMOTE_USER' ] += '@' + self.maildomain #else: #title = Access to Galaxy is denied #message = #Galaxy is configured to authenticate users via an external #method (such as HTTP authentication in Apache), but only a #username (not an email address) was provided by the #upstream (proxy) server. Since Galaxy usernames are email #addresses, a default mail domain must be set./p # pPlease contact your local Galaxy administrator. The #variable coderemote_user_maildomain/code must be set #before you may access Galaxy. # #return self.error( start_response, title, message ) So far in regular Galaxy use everything works no problem, people's email addresses are their usernames and email services work in Windows as your username is your email nickname. -L On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 11:00 PM, Leandro Hermida soft...@leandrohermida.com wrote: Hi Nate, Thank so much for the instructions :) , yes this is what I would want to do as Galaxy was adding an empty @ after the username.

Hi Leandro, If you're using any of Galaxy's mail services, your SMTP server would also need to be able to accept mail to users with no domain. That said, you should be able to hack lib/galaxy/web/framework/middleware/remoteuser.py to do what you want.
