Hi Pauline,

Access to THREDDS can be restricted to owners
of Shibboleth credentials in the same way this is done for
any other servlet that does not provide authentication
services of its own, i.e. relying on Apache httpd and Tomcat
to indicate that a certain location is to be protected
by Shibboleth authorisation. This works fine on
our internal servers.

Regards
Fanel
