Hello.
I am testing GeoServer with a client I am developing and I have a question
regarding security.
According to the documentation, setting the Catalog mode to Challenge
should expose the layers and make the server send a 401 error in case the
credentials are not sent. This is not what is happening with an insert or
update transactions. Only the delete transaction sends a 401. Both insert
and update send a 200 with an ExceptionReport xml. This is problematic
because it makes it hard to develop a client that will request
authentication. Especially because the exception code is simply a
"InvalidParameterValue".
Is this a design decision or is it a bug?
Kind regards,
--
