[GeoNode-devel] GeoServer basic authentication not working anymore?

Mon Mar 6 08:48:56 PST 2017

I see. Yes given this use case this is possible. GeoNode does not have code
to create users on GeoServer side.
While it allows you to login using oauth2 (through the admin group) it
won't be possible to access bia Basic Auth since that user is not
recognized by GeoServer.

To add this functionality we could either:

1. Allow GeoNode to create users on GeoServer (those would be duplicated
though)

2. Customize the Basic Auth Provider and GeoNode apis (most of the work has
been already done for OAuth2) in order to enable Basic Auth on GeoServer
too.

We need to discuss this thgouh, and a GNIP is required IMHO, since it is
not a trivial change.

It is also worth trying to make the Basic Auth Provider using the "GeoNode
REST Role Service", maybe this could be sufficient.

Best Regards,
Alessio Fabiani.
