I’m sorry… sent before finishing…

Well, I configured JDBC user/group service, and it’s working fine… I can login with user registered in postgre “user” table.

What I need now is to create users without geoserver web UI.

Is there a way to do it through geoserver? REST maybe? (Almost sure I read it’s not possible to handle users with REST API)

I just thought about insert user data directly to database, but, how to implement password encryption?!

Anyone can help me?!

Just to clarify, I need that the same users created in my application to be created in geoserver.

Thanks!

Hello everybody! Solved it… =)

I know that WPS is a standard to process “OGC-like” (geographic) data, but actually, you can register any kind of process in WPS.

So, I was looking at Geoserver src and I found the GeoServerDigestPasswordEncoder class.

I implemented a WPS that receives the user data (username, password, and other stuff) to insert them in the users table created by geoserver (user group service with JDBC).

I’ve added custom columns in this table to fit my user data.

To encode the password, was easy inside WPS:

GeoServerDigestPasswordEncoder digest = new GeoServerDigestPasswordEncoder();

(I’ve built wps src from geoserver src and loaded wps-core project in eclipse).

Now, my app just sends data to the process and it registers a new user… After setting the flag enabled = Y, I logged in geoserver with no problems…

If anyone is interested, I can share the full src of WPS.

Maybe it’s not the best solution, but it’s the one I’ve found.

Regards,

Some additional info

1) Until now, there is no REST support for the GeoServer security subsystem. The subsystem itself is prepared for REST, but adding the code is a separate project.

2) About adding columns to the user/roles tables. This is possible, but you can also add properties to user/roles which you can see/modify in the GUI.

3) About password encoding. It is possible to insert your users with plain text passwords. The encoding for "mypassword" is "plain:mypassword". After inserting the users you can edit your user/group service and click on the check box "Recode passwords". Assuming that your password encoder is the digest encoder, all plain text passwords will be recoded.
