[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-3804) WMS GetCapabiltities requests may produce 401 with mode="hide"

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?
