The improvement issue is here http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4554
I would recommend to keep the file format consistent. Now we have users.properties #This is the admnistrator (as well as whoever else has the ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR attached) admin=geoserver,ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR #These are sample users you may uncomment if you want to test locking down wfs (see service.properties) #wfst=wfst,ROLE_WFS_READ,ROLE_WFS_WRITE #wfs=wfs,ROLE_WFS_READ user1a=pwd,ROLE_INDIVIDUAL user1b=pwd user2a=pwd user2b=pwd I would add groups.properties #Format: group name and a comma separated list of users admins,admin groupa,user1a,user2a groupb,user1b,user2b and group2roles.properties #Format: group name and a comma separated list of roles admins,ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR groupa,ROLE_WFS_READ,ROLE_WFS_WRITE groupb,ROLE_WFS_READ The upgrade path is simple. If the 2 files are not there (in the same directory as users.properties), I would generate them with some comment lines explaining the format. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
