You can't do this in a single image, GeoServer puts a lot of effort into
saving up the labels and doing conflict resolution etc to make them look
nice. This has to happen last in the drawing process.
To achieve this you can request two maps one for layer1 and another for
layer2 (with transparency turned on) and then draw one above the other.
However this will prevent label conflict resolution so you may well end up
with labels on top of each other.
I don't understand what you mean about authorization? it has no bearing on
label drawing.
