We are attempting to follow the instructions at this URL:

http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/security/tutorials/credentialsfromheaders/index.html

To set up security on our geoserver. But when we open up the command prompt and issue our curl command we get an error. Out curl command is as follows:

curl -v -H “X-Credentials: private-user=admin&private-pw=geoserver” “http://localhost:9999/geoserver/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.1&request=GetCapabilities“

Please note our port number for geoserver is 9999 not 8080 as in some examples.

The error message we get is as follows:

  • Rebuilt URL to: private-user=admin/

  • Could not resolve host: private-user=admin

  • Closing connection 0

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: private-user=admin

‘private-pw’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

‘version’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

‘request’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Our infrastructure is windows 2008R2 server. Our Web Server is Apache.

We know geo-server works without security since we have set up an open layers application which is able to edit geometry and attributes in out postgis database using WFS-T.

We appreciate your assistance on this on this matter since we’ve been unable to find a solution on-line.

In the command line you are using the double quote chars are not correct. I see this is a formatting error in the geoserver docs, I will fix it asap. In the meantime, please try to use this one:

curl -v -H “X-Credentials: private-user=admin&private-pw=geoserver” “http://localhost:9999/geoserver/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.1&request=GetCapabilities”
