Hello, that's old news. Good new news is you don't have to do (almost)
anything special to enable security on integrated layers (at least for
WMS-C).
Just grab a recent version of GeoServer (like in a nightly 2.1.x build
or 2.1.2 when it comes out next week) and proceed as follows:
 - Configure your layer security
 - Go to the GeoWebCache GeoServer configuration page
 - Disable the WMS-C, WMTS, TMS services
 - Enable "direct WMS integration"
 - done.

From that on, instead of pointing your GetMap requests to
/geoserver/gwc/service/wms, point them to /geoserver/wms, and just
make sure the requests contain the TILED=true parameter (as mandated
by the WMS-C spec). Same thing for GetCapabilities.

Cheers,
Gabriel

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
