Error during GeoServer bootstrapping (InsufficientAuthenticationException)

GeoServer does not load settings of a protected workspace when using Catalog Mode == Mixed

Steps to reproduce:

  • Add a role “testrole”
  • Add a workspace “testworkspace”

Add the following data access rules:

testworkspace..r
testworkspace..w

and assign these rules to the role “testrole”

Restart GeoServer and have a look at the log file. There is a stack trace caused by

org.springframework.security.authentication.InsufficientAuthenticationException

As a consequence, GeoServer does not load the workspace settings for “testworkspace” and falls back to the default values. Unfortunately there is no indicator on the admin GUI that something went wrong.

A debug session shows that GeoServer uses the SecureCatalog implementation during bootstrapping. During this phase is the current user is null (treated as anonymous).

Ideas/questions:

  1. Is it possible to use the non secure implementation of the catalog during bootstrapping
  2. If not, does it make sense to boostrap as “admin” or even better as “root” user.
