[GeoNode-users] geoserver authentication in multi-geosites

Sun Apr 9 04:05:11 PDT 2017

Hi Eugenio,

if you are not able to send the modifications packaged in a pull request then you can go through editing files directly from github. You need just an account there and then follow the files on this page https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/search?l=Text&q=geosites&type=&utf8=%E2%9C%93 where geosites is referenced in the documentation. Feel free to propose your changes, after saving them a pull request will be automatically generated for you.

Also consider that some of your achievements require a huge knowledge of developing django applications and exploiting geoserver features, mostly the authentication part. I’ve never used geosites but please double check the geoserver build that you have got since there are two different ones for 2.9.x and 2.4 should work only against geoserver-2.9.x.war and the associated data directory data-2.9.x.zip

Ciao
Francesco

Unfortunately I had to update geoserver to a newer version respect the one distributed with geonode, since I had some issues with nodata areas produced by the reprojecting procedures of the raster layers. The mailing list suggested me to upgrade geoserver. Almost everything works fine with the geoserver-2.9 except the authentication both in the master site and in the geosites I have.

If I follow the instruction to leave <baseurl> in config.xml in security/auth/geonodeauthprovider/ empty as decribed in https://github.com/terranodo/geosites-project/blob/master/GEOSITES-README.md I cannot authenticate neither from the master site nor in the geosites.

That said, when geosites was developed, the geoserver ext was modified to make sure that geoserver pings the same host that made the http request for authentication instead of relying on the base url parameter. So ideally it should work as you would expect.
