Hi Andy Sending username/password as URL parameters is a bad practice (think about the browser history) and is not supported by GeoServer.
You have to do the following steps. - add a user (optional add a user group and add the user to the group) - add a role and and attach this role to the user or the user group - add an access rule for your wfs workspace using the role - add a filter chain with the ANT pattern "myworkspace/**". - there is a predefined Basic Authentication Filter, add this filter to your new filter chain. Test using a Browser with http://myserver/geoserver/myworkspace/wfs?SERVICE=WFS&VERSION=1.1.0&; REQUEST=GetCapabilities If you can see a login box, the configuration is correct. Then add your user/password to your QGIS WFS Layer configuration.
