I've done some testing with
http://build.geo-solutions.it/geofence/nightly/latest/geofence.war and
http://build.geo-solutions.it/geofence/nightly/latest/2.5.x/geoserver.war,
following https://github.com/geosolutions-it/geofence/wiki/First-steps -
a 'tiger' user can indeed only see the layer previews he's granted
access on via the geoserver web interface, but the same user doesnt see
'his' workspaces/layers via REST.

$curl -u tiger:tiger http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/layers.xml

<layers/>

This is with rest.properties containing:

/**;GET=ROLE_AUTHENTICATED
/**;POST,DELETE,PUT=ADMIN

If i try to explicitely access a workspace the user is supposed to have
access on, there's a traceback in geoserver.log which seems to refer to
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-5069.

$curl -u tiger:tiger
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/topp.xml
No such workspace: topp

Can anyone else reproduce this issue, and try to explain why this fails
this way ? Is there some additional configuration to do in the
authentication filters ? Or is it a problem with geofence itself ? Note
that when calling REST urls, geofence doesnt seem queried at all, i dont
see anything logged.
