Hi Devs, Is it possible to add an extra (hidden) 'field' in the Layer gui of Geoserver, one that does NOT show up in GetCapabilities response.
Context: having Geoserver with a big database-datastore, it is often hard to track down the right view or table name from the Geoserver layer. Als the full path to the ETL script to load the data can be interesting to store. We did(!) put the Table/View names in the 'abstract' field, but a security auditor told us to 'hide' such information as it revealed our internal datastructure.... So we have been looking now in adding text (or an url) in the geoserver admin interface to hold this (internal!) information. Geoserver admins should be able to see/edit that field, but normal users should not see this (when they should examine the getcapabilities output for example). So Questions: - are other people see this as something that is helpfull or a good/bad idea? - is it already possible? (we tried all fields in the admin interface, but all show up in the capabilities, also in the community modules I could not find something). Thanks for any input/ideas, Regards, Richard Duivenvoorde ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Geoserver-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geoserver-devel
