Hi list I am pretty new to the GeoServer security system, so please bear my request if it is obvious :)
I have a web application that needs to provide a map viewer using secured WMS layers from GeoServer (installed together with GeoNode). After reading some posts [1] [2] [3] in the list, I am trying with this approach (in Python ) to generate a valid JSESSIONID using Basic Authentication to be used for any request from the client to access the secured layers: from httplib2 import Http url = 'http://myserver/geoserver/j_spring_security_check' hds = { "Authorization": "Basic secretbase64xyz=", } h = Http() gs_resp, gs_content = h.request(url, "POST", headers=hds ) If I investigate the gs_resp variable, I effectively find a valid JSESSIONID, but the status of the GeoServer response is 302, and in my client map viewer the layers are still not displayed: ipdb> gs_resp {'status': '302', 'content-length': '0', 'set-cookie': 'JSESSIONID=95223F466298BA31F6DF96F90D98C1C9; Path=/geoserver', 'server': 'Apache-Coyote/1.1', 'location': 'http://myserver/geoserver/web/;jsessionid=95223F466298BA31F6DF96F90D98C1C9?wicket:bookmarkablePage=:org.geoserver.web.GeoServerLoginPage&error=true', 'date': 'Tue, 19 Feb 2013 00:16:58 GMT', 'content-type': 'text/plain'} Any suggestions?
