I am still having an issue, in fact I think it is related to
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Unable-to-save-modification-Filter-Chains-on-Authentication-page-td5033643.html
I am able to create the authentication filter and save it,
But when I try to move my j2ee_auth_filter from available to selected for any
of the filter chains, and hit the close button (it does not say save but I
think it is better than cancel). It looks like it saves it, but when I log out
and then back in the j2ee_auth_filter is back over on the available side not
selected.
I am using 2.3.4 version. Is there anything else I can do to make the change
save? What file is the change made to, web.xml or what?
Thanks,
Melody

Hi Melody
Please stay on the user mailing list.
The stack trace tells me that GeoServer is not able to find the web.xml file.
This is strange, I tested with tomcat and jetty, no problems here. Check if the
file is there and that it is readable for the weblogic container.
An alternative solution is:
Remove the J2ee role service
Add the role "GEOSERVER" to the role service named "default".
Configure the role service named "default" to have "Administrator Role" =
"GEOSERVER".
Configure the J2EE filter to use the role service "default".
Try again and let me know
Christian

Christian,
Below is the addition made to the downloaded web.xml that is
deployed in the war file. I am NOT seeing the GEOSERVER role in the
user/groups/roles (roles) tab.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>GeoServer</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/ *</url-pattern>
<http-method>PUT</http-method>
<http-method>DELETE</http-method>
<http-method>GET</http-method>
<http-method>POST</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>GEOSERVER</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
</login-config>
<security-role>
<role-name>GEOSERVER</role-name>
I followed your instructions:
- add J2EE role service (GUI)
- add J2EE authentication filter using the J2EE role service (GUI)
- put this filter on the filter chains, remove unneeded filters
When I did this part I would add the J2EE_AUTH_FILTER to each
of the chains. When I would restart the application, the J2EE_AUTH_FILTER was
no longer in any of the filter chains.
So I added it back again to all of the filter chains except the
login and logout. And then I removed the rememberme authentication filter and
restarted the application but this time I got a Error 500--Internal Server
Error. Then when I looked in the logs I saw the following.

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

I am trying to use weblogic's authentication via basic form authentication, but
I still cannot disable the geoserver security login. What all do I need to
comment out in the web.xml to make this happen? Also, how can I still have a
geoserver privileged user to access/update the configuration of geoserver?
I currently have it where the user is being prompted for a weblogic account and
proceeding with that account, but it does NOT log me in to geoserver. Then
when I type in root and the appropriate password, I get
https://FQDN:443/GeoServer/j_spring_security_check.
I am installing 2.3.4 which I thought is suppose to resolve the disabling
geoserver security issue.
Thanks,
Melody
