Would I be correct in assuming that GeoWebCache doesn’t have a user session?

I say this as I note that I can only seed layers with data security (using HIDE option) if I remove the layer security.

Would it be possible to have a default user which you assign to GeoWebCache so that all GWC seed requests are authenticated?

Perhaps the AuthKey plugin could be used to permit the requests?

Have done some quick searches but I didn’t find a discussion of this elsewhere.

Cheers,
Paul
