Hi Richard, did you try using the monitoring module, in "audit" mode? It will logs all sorts of details about the requests you're getting, regardless if they are post or get, including the username (but I don't know if it works fine with LDAP auth).
See: http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/extensions/monitoring/index.html https://geoserver.geo-solutions.it/edu/en/adv_gsconfig/monitoring.html Cheers Andrea On Thu, Sep 13, 2018 at 9:56 AM Richard Duivenvoorde <rdmaili...@duif.net> wrote: > Hi List, > > We are experimenting here with the LDAP authentication provider against > the Windows Active Directory.
