I managed to get the authentication to work as well. Perhaps you could share how you did it for future reference. >From leaflet I used ajax as per one of the links I provided:
//this option uses the leaflet.wms.js plugin: https://github.com/heigeo/leaflet.wms var options_l = {'transparent': true,'tiled': true,'format': 'image/png'}; var source_l = L.WMS.source(" https://your_server:8080/geoserver/wms?", options_l); var myLayer = source_l.getLayer(' myLayer ');// Get the layer // myLayer .addTo(map); //Optionally add the layer to the map layerControl.addOverlay( myLayer, " My Layer "); //Optionally add the layer to the layer control - object must exist. // Assuming myLayer **WITHOUT** user:pass in the url // The result is that when the request is first made a login window is initiated allowing the user to authenticate into GeoServer. /* $.ajax({ url: myLayer.url, data: myLayer.params, method: 'GET', error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){ // Handle not authorised here alert("Could not authorise!"); }, success: function(){ alert("Authorised!"); // Yuppieeeeee! //map.addLayer(myLayer); // The browser will set up the // authentication in the request for you } }); */ I am not certain exactly how this functions because after the initial login the credentials seam to be saved somewhere even when the page is reloaded and even when the browser is re-started. I would like to understand where the credentials are stored. Now I am trying to enable CORES on tomcat as the next issue is a "No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource." error. https://server.boundlessgeo.com/docs/latest/sysadmin/cors/index.html Cheers, Vera On Mon, Apr 15, 2019 at 2:56 PM Eric Plassot <e.plas...@laposte.net> wrote: > hello > I finally managed to authenticate myself > now it's the content of the query that does not pass : > org.geoserver.wfs.WFSException: Error performing insert: Error inserting > features > Yet I try to replicate the examples > Le 15/04/2019 à 00:05, Vera Green a écrit : > > I have the same problem with leaflet and WMS.
