Hi all,

We have a client that is using Basic authentication to access a WMS service
from GeoServer via username/password supplied in the HTTP header.  A key
requirement they specified is to hold a session open so they don't need to
authenticate with every GetCapabilities and/or GetMap request.  I enabled
the "Allow creation of an HTTP session for storing the authentication
token" on the "default" filter chain, which now allows the server to pass a
JSESSIONID cookie.  Everything seems to be working fine, but our client is
reporting issues with the cookie.

My question:  Can and/or should I try to use the remember authentication
filter to allow a session to remain open for a WMS end user?  It's my
understanding that rememberme is reserved for the web admin interface, but
I'm not sure how else to configure a HTTP session.

Thanks, all, for your help with this.

Best,
Todd
