Hi Roel, I would consider using something like Mapproxy in front of Geoserver. See http://mapproxy.org/docs/1.7.0/auth.html#authentication-authorization-middleware

The number of comma-seperated values in the layers parameter ranges from 1 to 30. Some of our users are only allowed to see the objects of a certain geographic area like a city or a state. To implement this requirement, we currently add a cql_filter to the request and so for each layer (in the layers parameter) we add something like “WITHIN(the_geom, wktOfArea)”. This wktOfArea can get quite big and is thus repeated for every layer (resulting in a very big request). It works, but it’s slow. Are there any alternatives to implement this requirement? What’s considered tob e the best approach? I noticed the querylayer module (cross layer filtering) and because the cities and states are defined in a seperate geoserver layer, I assume this could be a (good) alternative...
