I don't know if this is a dumb question, but how can I combine the ASP.NET authentication with OpenLayers?
I created a Login page to authenticate in OpenLayers (in C#, server side), this is my code
Uri uri = new Uri("http://"+username+":"+password+"@localhost:1979/geoserver/wms");
if (uri.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeHttp)
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(uri);
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Http.Post;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()); string tmp = reader.ReadToEnd();
response.Close();
Response.Write(tmp);
}
I don't know if this is the right approach to resolve my problem, anyway if I reach my goal (authenticate with username and password in GeoServer), how can I combine this authentication with OpenLayers, which is in user side (JavaScript)
Thanks in advance.
To authenticate with the GeoSerever from JavaScript side, you must to make a post to the GeoServer autentication servlet(j_spring_security_check)
. Try use this login function:
function login (options) {
// url del servlet del geoserver
var url = options.server + "/geoserver/j_spring_security_check";
// parametros para el login
params = "username=" + options["user"] + "&password="
+ options["password"];
var contentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
//se inicializa la petición ajax
var ajax = $.ajax({
data : params,
type : "POST",
contentType : contentType,
url : url
});
// se ejecuta cuando la peticion finaliza
ajax.done(function() {
if ($.cookie("JSESSIONID") != null && options && options.success) {
options.success();
}
});
// si ocurrio un error al realizar la peticion
ajax.fail(function(data) {
if (options && options.failure) {
options.failure(data);
}
});
// se ejecuta siempre al final de la petición, sin importar que esta
// haya fallado
ajax.always(function() {
if (options && options.always) {
options.always();
}
});
};
And use this way
login({
user:"admin" //geoserver user
password: "adminPassword",
server : "http://192.168.10.1:8080", //geoserver host
success : function(){
alert("Login OK!");
},
failure : function(){
alert("Login fail!");
}
});
