Hi,
I have certain layers in my getCapabilities document which I would like to
protect because they contain sensitive information. I would like to serve the
layers at all scales to trusted people in an openlayers map and restrict the
layer to a certain scale (using sld max-scale-denominator) for others.
If I make the layer "not published",but then embed the layer in an openlayers
map, then I can still look in the source code, find the layer url and layer
name, and add this to the wfs getfeature url for the layer thus downloading the
geometries and data.
I would ideally like to password protect the layer from within the application
(I don´t want the user to have to know another password to access the layer)
but don´t know how this would work. I have read about the http basic
authentication but don´t really know how to implement it.
Is this type of security available in geoserver?
Is anyone able to advise?
cheers,
Rob
