Hi Jorge,
I worked with the QGIS GeoServer plugin and the GeoServer LDAP plugin
some last weekend, and I wanted to share some of my experience and make
some suggestions.
I was able to setup use the LDAP jar from the GeoServer tutorial as a
GeoServer role service. Leveraging that, I was able
Hi, Jim.
I understand everything explained.
And I understand that, in principle, the safety management geoserver is

infrastructure, on the website, and on the other hand, the add and drop of

Hi.
I'm trying to work in a plugin for qgis, using geoserver as a proxy to
spatial layers.
I did check the rest api, but, this interface only works for internal users

I need connect from the qgis using ldap authentication (like the web
application).
