GeoNode extends GeoServer with certain JSON, REST, and security capabilities.

Security

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 the OGC_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.
