[Go-essp-tech] ESG Security Support in NetCDF

[philip.kershaw at stfc.ac.uk]

Hi all,

 

Some of you might be interested to know that some hooks have now been added into the C NetCDF libraries to enable support for ESG based security.  Calls to an ESG secured OPeNDAP server such as the Data Node TDS, can be made by configuring  nc_open with a certificate and private key enabling the server to authenticate / authorize the client.  

 

The changes are integrated in the NetCDF development trunk.   You can access the latest source from the snapshot:

 

ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/snapshot/netcdf-4-daily.tar.gz

 

I have example code if anyone is interested in finding out more.

 

Cheers,

Phil
