Hi,

"Maximum number of features" setting is reliable and user cannot bypass it, but 
it only limits the number of features returned by a single GetFeature request. 
User, who may be a machine, can make  new requests with another FID or bounding 
box. If you want to prevent such harvesting you must add some kind of access 
control into your system.

Aihe: [Geoserver-users] WFS maximum number of features, used to limit access

Hello,

I am wondering about the WFS setting "Maximum number of features". If I wanted 
to make it impossible to add this layer including all of its features to a 
map/file (and make the data easy to re-employ for any purpose) would this be 
achievable consistently with this setting?

It seems that way, I haven't been able to make a getFeature request return more 
than one feature, and I'd like to be sure there's no known other way.

(The question comes from a need for specific singular geometries in a public 
web map while trying to make the whole collection of geometries unavailable)

Thanks for any pieces of advice : )
