Re: [thredds] [Opendap-tech] OPeNDAP authentication

Hi Pauline,

We are using authentication with CAS (Central Authentication Service from Yale University, it is a web single sign on system) with TDS 3.16.
It works well thanks to some developments made by John.
The documentation is there :
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/reference/PluggableRestrictedAccess.html

Unfortunatly, client library need some customization to manage the CAS authentication (need to get a ticket from the authentication server by sending the username/password to it.

Hi all,

Is there any documentation on OPeNDAP/G, or THREDDS with X509 documentation? We're interested in using authentication (and naturally, authorisation) for some of our datasets. I would like to see if I can do a test setup over here, but I can't seem to find any documentation on doing this... Interestingly, does OPeNDAP client libraries already support this?

Thanks!

-Pauline.

For TDS, you can use standard Tomcat authentication, see authentication section of this:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/tds4.0/reference/index.html

Im guessing same for Hyrax. OPeNDAP client libraries should support this, as its based on standard HTTP mechanism.
