Hi Melody

First, this hat nothing to do with disabling GeoServer security. You have
to create a J2EE authentication filter. (Can be done on the
"Authentication" page).

A J2EE authentication filter requires a  role service. Two possibilities
here:

- If you have defined your roles in the web.xml file, create a new  J2EE
role service ("User, Groups,Roles" page).
- If you want to use the default role serice, you have to add the J2EE
roles individually (not recommended).

For each filter chain ("Authentication" page") do the following.

Remove the current authentication filters and add your new J2EE
authentication filter.

Hint: Make a backup of your GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/security directory- This
helps restoring your original security configuration.

Cheers
Chrstian
