Dear all,
I'm trying to find out if it is possible to use an WMS with a password
so only chosen users can access the layers on it.
In geoserver, I have one workspace (among others) which shall not be
public. Its uses is only for internal colleagues who do not know much
about geoserver and web-services; My goal would be to provide them a WMS
link to the specific workspace they can add as a service in the
Geonetwork map viewer.
I tried:
MYSERVER.be/geoserver/MYWORKSPACE/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&username=myusername&password=mypassword
It seems there are at least two problems. The WMS getcapabilities does
not seems to accept limitation to a specific workspace and the
user/password is not recognized.
I understand the security of such method is quite limited (password
written in clear) but given my context it is acceptable.
Does anyone knows if this is possible to do and how to do it?
Many thanks,
