Hi, currently using gs 2.3.2 with catalog in CHALLENGE mode, i can list the workspaces via the geoserver REST API and all are shown. My goal is to allow non-privileged users to POST layers & styles into a workspace on which they have write access, which works fine in the setup i have now, with *.*.a=ROLE_AUTHENTICATED + mode=CHALLENGE.
I'm planning a migration to gs 2.5.4 + geofence (coming from https://github.com/georchestra/geoserver / https://github.com/georchestra/geofence), and in this setup it doesnt seem possible to list all workspaces via REST as a non-admin user. Note that this is lagging a bit behind 'upstream' geoserver/geofence, and doesnt have the geofence admin page in geoserver web UI. Some questions: - does geofence automatically switch the catalog to mode=HIDDEN ? - according to https://github.com/geosolutions-it/geofence/wiki/First-steps, geofence should allow non-privileged users to see data in workspaces via the geoserver web interface, i suppose the same dataset is shown via the geoserver REST API ? - how should i configure geofence/geoserver to grant write rights for uploading layers *and* styles via REST to users in their dedicated workspace ? - with geofence, does layers.properties still apply to grant admin/write rights to a role, or does geofence completely overrides this too ? Is it replaced by the 'Authenticated users can write' checkbox in geofence admin page - and if so, does it apply on top of geofence rules (ie means 'users can write *in the workspaces geofence allows them*') ? Note: the download links on https://github.com/geoserver/geofence/wiki pointing to http://build.geo-solutions.it/ seems down.. which means one has to build geofence to try it.
