Hi,
Cascading with basic auth works and usage is documented in
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/cascaded/wms.html
However, it may be the GetFeatureInfo request do not work with authentication.
There is also an open ticket about trouble with cascading MapServer WMS with
WMS 1.3.0 and basic auth https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-6932
And then there are some known but not necessarily well defined problems with
cascading layers which have non-ASCII characters in the layer names like spaces
or something like åäöÅÄÖ. Also, if the remote server answers with HTTP 302
redirection then Geoserver can’t follow. There is a ticket about this: #6183,
and #5868 is about the same issue with WFS.
I think that users would appreciate if at least some of the improved cascading
capabilities could be used also with the integrated GWC.

Hi all,
We are starting a customer project at Spatineo with a client wishing to improve
the current Geoserver cascading WMS support.
At least the following features would need to be implemented:
1. Passing extra request parameters to the backend WMS (time, elevation,
cql_filter etc.)
2. Passing SLD styling parameters to the backend WMS
3. Support for requesting specific image formats
4. Support for authenticated requests to the backend WMS
Our client has indicated that they would be willing contribute the changed code
back to Geoserver community, but the formal decisions are still pending.
I have not yet plunged into the code to plan the approach, and would like ask
if you know of any recent or on-going efforts for reaching the same goals? My
timeframe for working with these issues would probably May - October this year.
Searching the list for posts, I found the issue GEOS-6911 indicating that the
basic auth support for cascading WMS was already implemented in version 2.1.3.
Can you confirm this?
Any other ideas or suggestions on what I should take into account for this work
at this point?
Regards,
Ilkka Rinne
