Hi, Andrea, could you please elaborate a bit on “it requires a way to express a security rule that involves at the same time layer and service”? Ivan, another option you may have is to take advantage of whatever your proxy servers (if you use any), such as apache, nginx could offer and see if you could disable wfs on a layer by its url pattern, etc. Guan ________________________________ From: andrea.a...@gmail.com [mailto:andrea.a...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Andrea Aime Sent: Monday, March 11, 2013 3:31 PM To: gw...@glc.org Cc: Ivan Santiago; geoserver-users@lists.sourceforge.net; Simone Giannecchini Subject: Re: [Geoserver-users] Enabling only WMS on selected layers On Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 8:23 PM, Guan Wang <gw...@glc.org<mailto:gw...@glc.org>> wrote: Or, you can set up user-based authentication on per layer basis for WMS and WFS. Say, you could publish layer A as WMS and then set a password for layer A for WFS. By doing so, you disable the access of WFS on layer A to all anonymous users. That unfortunately it's not possible using the build-in security subsystem of GeoServer, it requires a way to express a security rule that involves at the same time layer and service. There are two security plugins that can do that, one is publicly available, GeoShield, but it hasn't reached the 1.0 release level and I haven't seen any news in a long while (https://sites.google.com/site/geoshieldproject/home/news). The other is called GeoFence (formerly GeoRepository) and has been offered so far as a bonus in GeoServer commercial support contracts (http://geo-solutions.blogspot.it/2011/05/preview-georepository-advanced.html) Cheers Andrea -- == Our support, Your Success!
