Just to be sure about the WMS restriction I've made a quick test :

- 2 layers can be accessed by anybody
- 2 others are protected by a password (Data Security)

When I try to read (in WMS) them from QGIS the only one I can see are
the none restricted layers. The others doesn't appear in the list even
if I set a correct user/password in the settings.

So my question is : With Geoserver is it possible to provide a WMS
service where some data will be protected and some others not ?

Also you (David) said that I could use OpenLayers. But in my OL code
where I must specified the user/pwd of the user ? I must do before an
authentication form isn't it ?

Thanks

Arnaud
