I'm going to develop a map server with my own logic and entities. It will have a Postgres database, user management, specific layers with certain types, WFS, WMS, etc.
I'm going to use springframework and GeoServer as the GeoServer is an open source project.
I have user a management problem. How can I integrate my own project security with that of GeoServer? I mean how can I add a user or role or group or assgin a role to a user programmatically? How can I authenticate with geoserver programmatically?
As you know you can manage layers, workspaces, etc by GeoServer-manager. But it does not have user management REST API!

I've developed a map server that maintains layers info and I want it to support WFS and WMS. I want to grant access to my users of layers.
It was the most details of my application.

  • As it stands I think your question is too broad when, as per the Tour, we look for one question per question. However, even focussed into its own question, I suspect that each of the three questions may still be too broad so I recommend trying to focus them further.

    I think you're planning to do it wrong. You should just add a plugin to geoserver that handles your specific situation. Otherwise your map server will have to duplicate all of the GeoServer parts. Its hard to say what your plugin should do without much more detail on the specific logic and data types you are trying to support. Perhaps you can edit your question?

  • Thank you @BradHards. How can I add a plugin to geoserver? Do you have any documents and helpful links?

Finally I used geo-fence, a geoserver plugin for security management. It has a Restful API for adding,managing,ect of users,roles,rules,....
