Method new()

This method is used to instantiate a GeoNodeManager with the url of the GeoNode and credentials to authenticate (user/pwd).

By default, the logger argument will be set to NULL (no logger). This argument accepts two possible values: INFO: to print only geosapi logs, DEBUG: to print geosapi and CURL logs.

The keyring_backend can be set to use a different backend for storing the GeoNode user password with keyring (Default value is 'env').

Usage
GeoNodeManager$new(url, user, pwd, logger = NULL, keyring_backend = "env")
Arguments
url

url

user

user

pwd

pwd

logger

logger

keyring_backend

keyring backend. Default is 'env'
