The most recent stand alone GWC (1.12) has the notion of data security (the new SecurityFilter extension point). It just doesn't have anything more than a notion as the only implementation of SecurityFilter so far is in GeoServer. A SecurityFilter that talks to a remote GeoServer is certainly possible if someone wanted to write one, although it would lose some of the benefit of caching since it would be going to the back end for a security check each request. -- Kevin Michael Smith <smit...@draconic.ca>
