[Geoserver-users] Admin login access

GeoServer GeoServer User
1

Hi,

We created a JDBC User Group service and a JDBC Role service. Under Security > Settings, we changed the active role service from default to the JDBC Role Service we created. After making this change, when we log in as the default admin user, it only displays a couple of menu options: About GeoServer and Layer Preview. Is there a way to get the default admin login working with an active role service other than default?

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I’ve seen the same thing. From the docs (1), I think the short answer is ‘no’.

As an option, you could setup a user in JDBC with the default admin’s username and password.

Cheers,

Jim

Hi all

You have to handle the admin roles in your JDBC role service since the default role service is not active. Upon defining your role service, you can map a role in your db to the geoserver admin role and another one to the geoserver group admin role.

Nevertheless, if you want to use “admin” for logging in, you have to define an “admin” user in your role service. But it is not necessary to use “admin”, any other user can be administrator.

Hope this helps
