[GeoNode-users] Geonode & Geoserver - Secure WMS

[Francesco Bartoli]

Never tried this https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/pull/3415 but it should allow to get an access token from external applications.

@Pascal, it is worth a look and maybe a PR for geonode docs on how to use it.

Thanks
Francesco

By default a ground data rule is set by default in GeoFence that prevent accessing / viewing all datasets; which means that then datasets would only be visible based on permissions set in GeoNode.

However, as soon as one wants to access the OGC end points in say QGIS / ArcMAP (e.g. wms, wfs) available on http://mydomain/geoserver/geonode/wms, you are not anymore authenticated. I have already looked into basic authentication; but as far as I understand it, this approach requires recreating the Geonode user in GeoServer.
