[Open.ogc] services.ogc.noaa.gov password protected under SSL (https)

[Tim Haverland - NOAA Federal]

Hi all,

Recently I've been trying to enable an application that uses noaa ogc
services to run under https. When I do so, the application runs when I'm at
work, but from home (and no VPN) it asks that I enter my noaa email
username/pwd.

This is fine for me but won't work for public users of my application.

Is there a reason that ssl access to services.ogc.noaa.gov requires login
for users that aren't on a noaa network (I assume).

Here's the app if anyone want to see this behavior in action:

Works anywhere:
http://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/humandimensions/social-indicators/map-copy

Requires password for I assume non-noaa network users:
https://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/humandimensions/social-indicators/map-copy

I suppose I could redirect users coming in on https to http, but that
causes other headaches on my end.

Any thoughts?

Tim
