<div class="moz-cite-prefix">While Bobb and I have had some
conversations a few years ago dreaming of the ultimate
authentication system, not much came of it.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, I did implement some rudimentary authentication
for my Iceberg GeoMoose site. We used Django (hey, I didn't
choose it!) as a server-side scripting (Python) framework, and
were able to use its authentication module.<br>
<br>
The good news:<br>
- Django can keep the auth info in PostgreSQL, so it's
available to other scripting languages (e.g. PHP services)<br>
- all the auth config code exists in Django (so no need to
write anything)<br>
<br>
The bad news:<br>
- we use mapserv.exe and I didn't bother figuring out how to
check the user's credentials for the CGI request (so potential
security hole there).<br>
- we had to do a little scripting hack to pass the session
authentication from the Python to the PHP environments (so at
least you need to be logged into get the GeoMoose interface and
services).<br>
<br>
<br>
The great thing about having an authenticated site is that it
allows data editing (we used the Feature Editor in v2.4), which
opens up the possibility of a Web-based GIS!<br>
