Hi, i'm new to this forum.
I have a geoserver with some data that is used as wms tiled in a Flex
application on a IIS webserver.
The problem is that i want to block access to these wms services for all
users if they use a direct link to the services. But when they are using the
Flex application with these layers they may see them.
The main thing is that they cannot use those services in their own
applications or in any other way on.
I don't know where to start. In some way geoserver has to recognize that the
request that is done, is from the Flex application on my server..it it is
from any other thing it should block.
Does anybody know how i can do that?
Regards

You could proxy through apache and that would enable you to selectively choose the urls you want to allow.
Another way is to simply isolate geoServer on a private network, so only your application can see it. If the app runs on the same machine as geoserver, this is of course not viable.
I am sure other more admin minded folks will have more ideas.
