[Geoserver-users] Creating Repository

I am new to Geoserver. Can somebody tell me if it is possible to create a central repository using Geoserver, where people can deposit data and be able to access it?

The solution probably lacked details because there are so many ways to
go about it. I don't think there are any plugins for geoserver for
uploading (though not a bad suggestion), so you'll have to pick your
favorite web development toolkit and build your own tool.

I would suggest looking at GeoDjango, Mapfish, Geomajas and some of the
other similar web frameworks specifically dealing with spatial data as
something mostly out of the box from one of those might work for you.

Basically you need a web interface to let users upload files. Then you
either need to load those files into a postgis database or use them as
is and setup a geoserver record for the data source.

Enjoy,
Alex

How to authenticate the users? Say for example, i want to allow only people in my office to have access to the files on the geoserver. How do i restrict the access to only those people?

you should look into WFS-T, user can modify data using this service,
lookinto geoserver's demo urls

You can block all ip addresses not in your office using firewalls and/or
apache configurations.
Also have a look at GeoShield

You also could try http://geonode.org It built on GeoServer and has a shapefile/geotiff through the web uploader, and we’re working on an ftp uploader (which will be a geoserver community module). It uses Django as a web framework, and its user access hooks in to GeoServer’s security, so you can use its gui to limit user access. Also does things like styling through the web and provides CS-W on layers uploaded, with metadata editing that gets picked up by GeoServer and GeoNetwork. It’s a lot of software to set up and coordinate, but we just about done with ubuntu packages that should be released shortly.
