[OOD-users] Galaxy

[Shawn Doughty]

Donald, that is exactly what we have done. There is Galaxy menu in the
OnDemand interface and it simply redirects people to a URL which is
otherwise accessible. Also do this for WebMo. It would indeed be convenient
to share credentials so people don't have to login again as well as ensure
they only see the OnDemand URL rather than Galaxy, WebMo, FastX, all the
other things I could slip in there.
