Hello,I'm now trying to get user authentication working with our thredds-docker based TDS. I'm pretty sure I have the configuration set up to enable authentication as described in the TDS manual's "Restrict Access To The TDS <https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/tds/current/userguide/restict_access_to_tds.html#restrict-access-by-dataset-in-tds-catalogs>" page. And I have verified this by accessing the TDS from a browser and having the credentials entry pop-up window display and work correctly.
But, I can't get the authentication to work in Python with pydap. According to the pydap documentation the credentials should be added to the URL this way:
>>> dataset = open_url('http://username:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/path/to/dataset')from pydap.client import open_url
But because Digested Passwords <https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/tds/current/userguide/digested_passwords.html> are enabled for our TDS, it seems clear that I should use the digested password, so this is what I tried:
>>> dataset = open_url('http://fluke:d1ef3ce7e7c41de74192a362524ad0a460692a222d9dd796ee383b56e446d749$1$d03ce0f88475505a68bd0eb37fa570df8120e59ccf62a4f580a55ad612f695c0e385893fe7205f7c181b221ab49bc817d4a33a2bfrom pydap.client import open_url
2bb727fdc0ee3420e7e5b99e@localhost:7000/thredds/dodsC/cloudsat-data/2B-GEOPROF.P1_R05/2008/366/2008366031107_14239_CS_2B-GEOPROF_GRANULE_P1_R05_E02_F00.hdf ') But it does not work. Here is the output:@ ~/devRepos/thredds-dpc-gh-actual/tests$ docker-compose run --rm test_opendap url: http://fluke:d1ef3ce7e7c41de74192a362524ad0a460692a222d9dd796ee383b56e446d749$1$d03ce0f88475505a68bd0eb37fa570df8120e59ccf62a4f580a55ad612f695c0e385893fe7205f7c181b221ab49bc817d4a33a2b 2bb727fdc0ee3420e7e5b99e@localhost:7000/thredds/dodsC/cloudsat-data/2B-GEOPROF.P1_R05/2008/366/2008366031107_14239_CS_2B-GEOPROF_GRANULE_P1_R05_E02_F00.hdf

So, am I right to be using the digested password? Do you see anything else that could be wrong? Why does this work for the browser but not for pydap?
I will add that the algorithm for the CredentialHandler is "sha-512" in the ~tomcat/conf/server.xml file inside the container, so that is why the digested password is an sha512 digest. And the clear text password is "flukeTmp". I'll be changing that for our production system.
And, all of this - the TDS configuration and the test python script with the above URL - are now checked in to our thredds-dpc <https://github.com/JimFluke/thredds-dpc/tree/master> repository on GitHub so you can look at the details there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim
