2. Select Home>New>Blank Galaxy.

   The Create Galaxy dialog appears. You can create a galaxy with any specific name.

3. Create "UOC_Water" Blank Galaxy with base Template as "Default_EMPTY.cab".

   Hover over the Blank Galaxy to display the correct galaxy to use.

4. Select Create to connect to the new galaxy.

5. Select Galaxy>Configure>Security.

6. In the Authentication mode tab, under select mode, select OS Group based authentication mode.
