Hello,
I have a bit of a detailed question for anyone who may be able to help. I have
been struggling with this for awhile on Google and cannot find any information
that fits my exact dilemma. I am hoping that someone with GeoServer expertise,
might point in a right direction, or at least tell me whether what I'm trying
to do is even possible. Here goes:
I developed a .NET C# web application using MS Visual Studio. I also use
JQuery and AJAX to do a lot of client side data calls. I call up GeoServer
within a DIV on a web page. My web server for GeoServer is Apache/Tomcat. The
Apache web server is deployed on a Windows 2012 R2 Server. In my development
environment, all was well. I was able to view my map and even manipulate it by
talking to the JavaScript libraries on the GeoServer, with my custom JS
libraries in .NET web app. However, when development was done, I wanted to
deploy to a test environment and that is when the trouble became apparent.
I deployed my web app to another Windows 2012 R2 server and then set up an IIS
web server. There is also a database server that the app calls up. Those two
work fine. However, the map no longer functions. This is a "double hop"
situation. I'd forgotten about that. OOPS!
That's when the pirates attacked. I asked our SAs for assistance. They told
me that I couldn't use GeoServer because that is not our enterprise standard
and they don't want to waste many terabytes of data setting up another map
server.
Question 1: How do I point GeoServer at a map data source, say, ARCGIS? How
does that work? I know, for some of you this probably a dumb question, but I
don't think that GeoServer itself contains all that data. Isn't it simply a
conduit through which I view the map layer data? If this is the case, then I
can argue that their argument is irrelevant.
Question 2: Can I set my GeoServer up directly on a Windows Server, or set
up my Apache server on the same box as my IIS server, and thus eliminate the
double-hop issue without having to do something like Kerberos?
Question 3: Do these questions make sense? Is there a better way? Do you
need any clarifying information?
I really would appreciate any input that anyone in your group can provide. I
started learning to work with GeoServer several months back, and in the DEV
environment, it kind of saved my project. I have a high level of development
experience with .NET and SQL Server, but am just learning GIS. I've had a hard
time finding anyone around here who knows much about it from an system
administrator's perspective. Thanks. Regards, E. J. Belala "Audentes Fortuna
