Hi all,
Is there any documentation on OPeNDAP/G, or THREDDS with X509
documentation? We're interested in using authentication (and
naturally, authorisation) for some of our datasets. I would like
to see if I can do a test setup over here, but I can't seem to find
any documentation on doing this... Interestingly, does OPeNDAP
client libraries already support this?
Thanks!

For TDS, you can use standard Tomcat authentication, see
authentication section of this:

Im guessing same for Hyrax. OPeNDAP client libraries should support
this, as its based on standard HTTP mechanism.
Yes, as both Patrick and John suggest, Hyrax depends on Tomcat for
security. Here's the documentation on that: http://docs.opendap.org/index.php/Hyrax_-_OLFS_Configuration#Authentication_.26_Authorization
The C++ library and new C client-side library (and thus new netCDF DAP
access) support cookies which is, I believe, what is required for
single sign on systems, although more might be required on the server
side.
