This document discusses the implementation of user authentication using OpenLDAP for lunar and planetary Web-GIS systems. The goals are to 1) implement LDAP authentication for Web-GIS and WISE-CAPS, 2) allow only registered users to access prescribed pages, and 3) integrate OpenLDAP authentication with the OpenLayers mapping library. The method describes installing OpenLDAP and configuring a test PHP script that redirects users to their Web-GIS pages after authenticating against the LDAP server. The results show that users can now directly access their Web-GIS pages after authenticating. Future work aims to allow editing of Web-GIS contents through OpenLayers.
