hello everyone,

here i want to know that is it possible to map a postgis table containing the users and roles for authentication to geoserver.

the scenario is like that

  1. i make a authentication request with username and password to geoserver
  2. geoserver will check in postgis database for the user information
  3. and will authenticate the user depending on the user information availablity in geoserver as per user’s role mentioned in the geoserver

any ideas will be appreciated
