GeoNode extends GeoServer with certain JSON, REST, and security capabilities.
GeoServer delegates authentication and authorization to GeoNode.
When the GeoServer plugin sees a request, it attempts to authorize with GeoNode:
-
If the request has a valid
sessionid
cookie (this links to a user in GeoNode), GeoNode looks up the user's permissions and replies. -
If there are HTTP credentials in the request (via the
HTTP_AUTHORIZATION
header) and they match those configured in theOGC_SETTINGS
, GeoNode replies that this user is a super-user. -
Uploads is a special case: here, GeoNode makes the original request using the
OGC_SETTINGS
credentials.
