Install User Mapping Script

You will need to map the Apache authenticated user to the local system user. This is done with the ood-auth-map tool.

1. Clone and check out the latest tag:

   cd ~/ood/src
   scl enable git19 -- git clone https://github.com/OSC/ood_auth_map.git
   cd ood_auth_map/
   scl enable git19 -- git checkout v{{ ood_auth_map_version }}

2. Install it to its global location:

   sudo scl enable rh-ruby22 -- rake install
   # => mkdir -p /opt/ood/ood_auth_map/bin
   # => cp ...

The principle behind this script is that you call it with a URL encoded REMOTE_USER user name as the only argument, and it will return the mapping to the local system user name if it exists.
