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.
