Hi,

Authkey is a community module and thus not maintained by core developers. It 
would be generally rather impossible to keep the documentation of Geoserver 
up-to-date with all the odd things that community modules may cause either 
individually or when used together with other modules. In an ideal world 
modules would not cause such issues.

I think that your suggestion to report this issue in the Authkey docs is good. 
Maybe you could add the info into Limitations or under a new Known issues 
title. But wait for an opinion of some core developer first.

Aihe: [Geoserver-users] Authkey user not affected by Enabled/Disabled checkbox

Hi all

We make use of the 
Authkey<https://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/community/authkey/index.html> 
module and I have recently observed that OGC services will still work, even 
when the Enabled checkbox is unchecked, see below:

[cid:image001.png@01D81768.C063C030]

Is this the expected behaviour?

If yes, I am assuming that it is because the Enabled checkbox belongs to the 
default/basic authentication provider, which is then replaced by the authkey 
provider (which should have its own Enabled option.)

In this case, I propose to update the above documentation page to make it clear 
that the Enabled checkbox does not affect the authkey provider.  May I proceed?

Regards

Peter
