WMS GetCapabiltities requests may produce 401 with mode="hide"
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-3804
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3804
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Security
Affects Versions: 1.7.6
Reporter: Eric Lemoine
Assignee: Andrea Aime
If I understand the security doc correctly I shouldn't get 401 responses when I have mixed="hide" in the layers.properties file. But I've across two cases when I do get 401 responses, here they are:
- user sends a WMS GetCapabilities request, user provides incorrect username/password in the request
- user sends a WMS GetCapabilities request, user provides correct username/password in the request, but user doesn't have write permissions for all the layers
I've encountered this problem in 1.7.6. Does the problem also exist in the 2.x series?
