Hello all I must be missing a key step. I've set up a JDBC user/group service, and can see my users and groups in the Geoserver admin interface. I've set up JDBC authentication, and can successfully authenticate as a database user when using the JDBC auth "Test connection with user/password".
I've granted read permissions on a test workgroup and layer in it to ROLE_AUTHENTICATED. I've enabled WMS, but cannot connect to the WMS service from QGIS. I also cannot log in to the Geoserver admin interface with a JDBC user. This is maybe not surprising, as I've not give the user ADMIN or GROUP_ADMIN permissions. If I set up a JDBC role service and assign that role (as well as specifying the ADMIN and GROUP_ADMIN users), I am locked out of Geoserver admin completely (when I enable the JDBC role service). There are quite a few moving parts involved, and it's maybe not the easiest to describe or figure out on the mailing list, but any insight would be incredibly helpful.
