automatic authentication/login from geonode to geoserver does not work

[chris...@gmail.com]

Hello,

maybe somebody can help me.

i have following problem:

Geoserver application can not find geonode application on same server to authentificate and automatic login to geoserver with same credentials. I must login on geoserver app again. Also layer on geonode will not display because automatic login to geoserver app does not work. 

geoserver.log say:

and set baseUrl to http://localhost and also http://localhost:8080 but both does not work.

Hi Devs,

I'm facing this same problem but with the latest GeoNode 2.4 beta and GeoServer 2.7.

I made a custom installation in a virtualenv with both GeoNode and GeoServer responding on port 80. 

So I'm getting this error:

Error connecting to the GeoNode server for authentication purposes

GeoNode communication failed, status report is: 404, Not Found, http://localhost/layers/acls

I played with the settings but without success.

Thanks in advanced for your help.

Bye

Paolo

Hi,

I just faced the same issue and solved it replacing "localhost" by the public url of my GeoNode instance (in my case a Virtualbox VM ip in vboxnet0 network) in <baseUrl>, in these two xml configuration files:

1- {GeoNode src dir}/geonode/geoserver/data/security/auth/geonodeAuthProvider/config.xml
2- {GeoNode src dir}/geoserver/geoserver/data/security/auth/geonodeAuthProvider/config.xml

Hope it will do the trick for you too!

Cheers,

Dimitri.
