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 ?
