Have you seen this doc:http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/reference/HTTPauthentication.html
??If so, then I probably need to add more info to it. Let me know and I can look at it next week.

Further information on this: I can connect successfully to the server in question using the toolsUI-2.2.22.jar, but I still can't via my own application. I've had a quick look at the code for HttpClientManager and HTTPRandomAccessFile and perhaps there is a call to setDoAuthentication() missing?

I'm now experimenting with trying to get OPeNDAP authentication working in version 2.2.22. I have a very simple main() method that simply tries to open a NetcdfDataset from an OPeNDAP URL, where the OPeNDAP server requires authentication: public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { HttpClientManager.init(new CredentialsProvider(){ public Credentials getCredentials(AuthScheme scheme, String host, int port, boolean proxy) throws CredentialsNotAvailableException { System.out.println("Called Credentials Provider!"); throw new CredentialsNotAvailableException(); } }, null); NetcdfDataset nc = NetcdfDataset.openDataset("http://myurl";); nc.close(); } When I run this I get an error message: Server does not support byte Ranges at ucar.unidata.io.http.HTTPRandomAccessFile.<init>(HTTPRandomAccessFile.java:99) which, having delved through the nj22 code, actually just means that the call to get the value of the Accept-Ranges header does not return what is expected. I assume that the real reason that the call fails is that the server requires authentication. The simple CredentialsProvider that I have written in the above code never gets called. Could anyone please shed some light on this, or perhaps provide a code snippet of the right way to go about this?

Jon Blower wrote:Hi all, I'm trying to read data from an authenticated OPeNDAP server. I've found the page http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/reference/HTTPauthentication.html, which says that I should create a CredentialsProvider and register it using ucar.nc2.dataset.HttpClientManager.init(). However, there is no class called HttpClientManager in the ucar.nc2.dataset package, or indeed anywhere in the nj22 distribution that I can see. What is the best way to read data from authenticated OPeNDAP servers? I am using nj22 version 2.2.16.
