Good afternoon, as you may know, the params-extractor community module can be used in GeoServer to transform url path fragments to normal query string parameters ( https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/community/params-extractor/index.html ). This is working fine except for one use-case that we need to cover for one customer: the ability to use it together with the authkey authentication filter. Long story short, we would like to implement the ability to express the authkey as part of the url path (e.g. /geoserver/!@<authkey>/wms) and this would be a perfect fit for the params-extractor module, but unfortunately security filters run before spring configured filters (and params-extractor is a spring configured filter in GeoServer).
We found a possible solution, that requires registering the same filter in tomcat web.xml, so that it can run before the usual timing. Being able to do so requires only a couple of changes: * adding an empty constructor to the filter * adding code in the init method of the filter to initialize config when run through web.xml Obviously the filter could be used the old way, or the new way, just by registering it in the tomcat web.xml or not. Any alternative idea? -- Regards, Mauro Bartolomeoli == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts! Visit http://goo.gl/it488V for more information. == Dott.
