Hi all!

I hope someone can help me with my problem:

I have to cascade an external wms-service which is protected by a root certificate (cacert) and additionaly with a client certificate. I read the tutorials and searched the mailing lists but i cant find any entry about a similar issue. Has anybody an idea if i can solve this problem with geoserver or is it not possible to connect to external wms (protected by certificates) at the moment?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards from Austria,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I’m a windows users of Geoservr and I’ve setup GeoServer as an internal service on my Windows Server and use IIS as an proxy (which handles regular SSL request, not requiring me to setup SSL in GoeServer).

Maybe that’s an idea to start from?

Hi,
to my knowledge WMS cascading supports basic and digest authentication only (digest only if the multithreaded client is configured, but I’m not 100% sure).
However, GeoServer is open, so support for other authentication method could be developed, see:
