[Geoserver-users] securing an Openlayers web mapping application and GeoServer layers with a single password

GeoServer GeoServer User

Hello,

I would like to add security to an openlayers based web mapping application. I know that I can add a password to GeoServer layers to protect the data. In addition, I also know that I can add a password in Apache to protect the Openlayers application. Is there a way to combine the access between GeoServer and Openlayers (Apache) so that users only need to enter a single password to access a web mapping application that has secure GeoServer Layers?

Thanks

When I do a gdal_retile.py on some Ordnance Survey Raster images i get the warning;

gdal_retile.py -v -levels 9 -ps 2048 2048 -co ‘TILED=YES’ -co ‘BLOCKXSIZE=256’ -co ‘BLOCKYSIZE=256’ -s_srs EPSG:27700 -targetDir pyramid --optfile …/tiles$thedir.txt

The script I run is

#!/bin/bash
export thedir=pwd
export thedir=basename $thedir
echo $thedir
mkdir pyramid
ls *tif > …/tiles$thedir.txt
gdal_retile.py -v -levels 9 -ps 2048 2048 -co ‘TILED=YES’ -co ‘BLOCKXSIZE=256’ -co ‘BLOCKYSIZE=256’ -s_srs EPSG:27700 -targetDir pyramid --optfile …/tiles$thedir.txt

I think I have a recent gdal.

gdalinfo --version tell me GDAL 1.10.0, released 2013/04/24

Warning 1: TIFFFetchNormalTag:Incompatible type for “RichTIFFIPTC”; tag ignored

What am I missing?

Dear Russell,
I believe this question is more suited for the GDAL mailing list :).

Hi,

It is not an error, it is an informational warnign message and it means that the original tiff file contains IPTC tag and the libtiff library used by GDAL claims that the type of the tag is not correct. Perhaps the type is LONG instead of UNDEFINED or BYTE http://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/tifftags/iptc.html. All warnings coming from GDAL are informational. The critical issues are reported as errors. In this case you are told that the RichTIFFIPTC tag is ignored but this tag has no meaning for gdalretile.py and you can ignore the warning.
