I would like some external users to be able to access WMS-services from my internally enabled GeoServer. By opening up my firewall for this specific IP-address it should get access to my WMS-services, right? I'm sure I'm missing something crucial here since this is new to me.

Is there any other settings/permissions to be set in GeoServer for this specific layer/store/workspace to work out properly? The URL is working fine in internal applications.

    Consider blocking the access to web UI in the firewall demo.geo-solutions.it/geoserver/web. It is secured by username/password but having no access is safer. Same thing with REST API access.

  • OK, thanks. Do you know if an external user consuming one of my WMS-services has to fill in usernamn/password by default?

    Services do not require authentication by default. Example: demo.geo-solutions.it/geoserver/…

No, by default it's open to all.
