+1, looks great. One suggestion - it'd be great if there was a way for any user to sign up for an account. As far as I can tell right now the only way to add a new user is the admin doing it. And the admin setting the password.
Ideally there'd be a 'sign up' link by 'login', where a user can enter their own username and password (and indeed a password the admin would not know). Then the admin can set the permissions of what a new user can view. Ideally you might even have a role that can set user permissions but not have full access to the geoserver config. And it'd obviously be great if the user new account interface had things like emailing a forgotten password, email confirmation, captchas, etc. Another direction to consider is allowing openid - let people sign in with their open id account. Anyways, just some food for thought, this is a really nice start. best regards, Chris Francesco Izzi wrote: > Hi list, > > I created this GSIP which explains my proposal and the development state. > > The proposal is available here: > > http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GSIP+41+-+Promote+perLayerSecurity+UI+to+extension > > For further information please reach me via mail or on the geoserver irc > channel. > > Cheers, > > -- > Francesco Izzi > CNR - IMAA > geoSDI - NSDI > Responsabile Sviluppo Software > > C.da S.
