Ah, now this is a problem, because we cannot stop responding to the old
paths either, it would be a severe backwards compatibility issue.

Right. Securing OGC protocols by reverse proxy is going to be a lot of pain
anyways, think also about the POST requests
that are accepted in most protocols (yes, also in WMS).
A few year ago we looked into it and decided that going the "security
proxy" was going to be too much of a pain, and
developed a different approach instead:

I'd suggest you have a look at the ResourceAccessManager interface, the
default security subsystem implementation
possibly to GeoFence as examples of implementation of that concept.
