LayerGroups in geoserver are a very thin construct; for most purposes a layergroup is equivalent to listing out the layer names it contains in your wms request. I don't think the security system provides a mechanism for restricting access to layergroups directly (because in a sense they don't really contain any information). However, restrictions for individual layers will be applied when making requests for layergroups, so you can simulate a restricted layergroup by making any one of the layers it contains restricted.
Hope this helps. -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/ On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 4:53 AM, Arnaud Vandecasteele <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi all, > > As I understand, GeoServer can secure a service (WMS, WFS) and/or the > layers. > But I would like to know if it's possible to secure a layer groups > depending on a service. > For example I have different layer groups : > 1- layerGroup-Open > 2- LayerGroup-Secure > I would like that the first one can be accessed in WMS by everybody > and the second one (also in WMS) only by people I trust (people with > password). > > Do you know how can I do that ? > > Thanks you for your help > > Regards > > Arnaud > > -- > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > Van De Casteele Arnaud > Mines Paris Tech - CRC > Sophia-Antipolis > 0698 24 25 29 > SIG - WebMapping - SOLAP - BI - GeoCollaboration > > Web Site > http://geotribu.net/ > http://www.sismaris.org/ > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Oracle to DB2 Conversion Guide: Learn learn about native support for > PL/SQL, > new data types, scalar functions, improved concurrency, built-in packages, > OCI, SQL*Plus, data movement tools, best practices and more. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdev2dev > _______________________________________________ > Geoserver-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geoserver-users >
