An approach is to integrate everything in LDAP. That's what we do but (on CentOS / RHEL): - OS users and groups in LDAP - GeoServer users in LDAP: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Enterprise_Linux_GIS#LDAP_Authentication (instrucitons are not platform specific). However in GeoServer we only synchronize authentication and did not succeed (nor really tried yet) to integrate authorization. Otherwise I saw once the GeoShield project being presented at a conference: http://istgeo.ist.supsi.ch/site/projects/geoshield Sounds interesting but I never tried it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.
