Hi,
I have set up a geostack consisting of ubuntu 10.04, Tomcat6, Geoserver 2.1,
Posgresql/Postgis, which serves data to Openlayer/GeoExt thin clients.
I am now wondering about data security and data ownership. If I am the
administrator who is deploying webapps for different departments, or
institutions I need to be able to restrict users to certain tables or
databases.
So If department A should only have write permission for all tables in database
A, but only read access on all others, how to I set this up?
I am bit confused about file ownership because Tomcat6 needs all it´s files to
be owned by user tomcat6 group tomcat6. My Geoserverdatadir lies outside of the
tomcat6 webapps directory, so at least the geodata doesn´t have to be owned by
tomcat6. Geoserver is owned by tomcat6 because it is in the tomcat6/webapps
directory.
Postgresql has user accounts , Geoserver has user accounts, and Ubuntu has user
accounts. How do I coordinate all of these users accounts to allow access to
some and restrict access to others?
any advise would be a greate help.
yours,
Rob
