[GeoNetwork-devel] LDAP authentication

Greg_Coleman · October 23, 2006, 2:22am

Is it possible to authenticate a geonetwork instance using LDAP or similar?

Where can I find relevant documentation?

Hi Greg,

currently you cannot use LDAP or any other authentication mechanism
other than the geonetwork's one. Anyway, LDAP authentication has
been planned (I cannot say for when).

Cheers,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
  I wrote some code to do LDAP authentication and it seems to work
OK for what I want although not very flexible.

  See attached.

Cheers

Greg.

Thanks Greg,

I will give a look. Our idea was to use the LDAP facilities inside Java 1.5.
What did you use?

Cheers,
Andrea
