I need to change the layer visibility for users in my application. Layers are served by OL 3 by a wms/wfs request. The problem is that when I change the accessibility for users, banning someone to see layers, they still have access to them as long as they don't log out or close the browser.

    What if you restart the service?

  • How are you banning them from seeing the layer? Commented Feb 11, 2017 at 10:06
  • I am simply giving them (or removing) specific role for reading/writing the layers. I am doing it by the web administrator interface.I thought it was a cache problem and I tried to check the Enable Data Security option in the caching default. This, if I understood good, should check the user permission everytime the service is called, but nothing changed. I really appreciate your answers. Federico

I found a temporary solution. I had to clean the cache for making the update work immediately. I could not rebuild the whole application so, I created a small OWS like explained here, to clean the authentication cache, I then added it to the WEB-INF/lib folder. You should have any other solutions I would appreciate. Thanks
