Hi all,
I wanted to restart up some discussion about pushing forward on geoserver 2.2 and the current security work that is pending. In terms of GSIP 71 the current feedback is mostly related to documentation work. On the user front the current docs are more of a reference guide and we need to add some more tutorial style docs oriented to users actually configuring the system in different authentication scenarios. On the developer front we need to add docs for the new interfaces and internal api, also adding some tutorials on how to add new types of authentication.
In terms of code christian and I have been working on getting the code in shape and in a state to commit to trunk. We are very close and I think it would certainly be good to start getting it exposure from the other devs to start flushing out issues and focus on stability.
So I am proposing that we commit the work soon even in light of the pending doc changes. Certainly we want to have all the docs in place before 2.2 but I think we can work on that in parallel while at the same time fixing bugs and stabilizing as we move toward 2.2.
Opinions?

Works for me. I just have a concern in terms of developer docs, not for the docs per se, the
questions were more about understanding what can be done developer wise, as a way to
review the interfaces that have been introduced.
Can you elaborate a bit more on the above without having to go and build docs?
One page summary, nothing crazy.
Cheers

Cool, that sounds good, I can definitely do that. Will add a page in the developer guide with some high level stuff about the new interfaces.

Here is my first crack at some developer docs for the security stuff. Let me know if this is what you had in mind.

Yep. Wow, it’s actually more complex than I thought.
Will there be a GUI to configure all of this?
For example, how does one disable the “default” user provider
and have only the ldap one?

Yup, everything discussed is configurable through the ui and the ui has been documented, although there are still a few todos left.

The docs above are kind of reference style, and perhaps not super helpful from a total beginners standpoint which is why we have started on some tutorials for more directed task, like for instance, how do I configure ldap? Here is the start of that tutorial, still needs some polish.
http://echobase.opengeo.org/~jdeolive/geoserver_user_docs/security/tutorials/ldap/index.html
Again the hope is to get the work committed asap and continue to improve documentation in parallel while we move toward 2.2.

PS: I always find it amazing how acme can be busy with ldap servers,
jet packs, cannons, flying machines in general and … well, pretty much
everything. They must have some great minds in there!
