[Geoserver-users] Geofence questions

Hi!
Using tomcat7, geoserver 2.8 with community Geofence embedded server.

I'm struggling a bit with the Geofence REST API, see docs at
http://docs.geoserver.org/2.8.x/en/user/community/geofence-server/rest-userrole.html#rest-usergroup-service-servicename-users

I'm able to make successful requests (GET, POST) to read users list and
create a user at the following endpoint:

*rest/usergroup/users/*

However to read, alter and delete information on a specific user, I should
be able to make (GET,POST, DELETE) requests to the following endpoint:

*rest/usergroup/<user>*

My question is what does <user> denote in the above URI?
I have tried the following URI constructions:

*rest/usergroup/<userName>*, userName beeing the user name of the user I
want to read or
*rest/usergroup/<userId>*

Neither works. Basic auth in requests are working since the first endpoint
described above works. The error message from tomcat gives me method not
allowed and the allowed header gives me only POST and DELETE which is not
consistent with the docs.

Anybody using the Geofence plugin and ran into the same issue?

regards,
Anton

Hi,
it is the same with me. I also use embadded geofence in a geoserver 2.9 and
I am not able to modify or delete a user with the documented rest-api call.

I am still struggeling.

Could you figure out?

Thanks
Christoph

Hi,

Sorry I miss the first mail.

I have checked the implementation of the REST entry points for managing users:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/master/src/community/geofence-server/src/main/java/org/geoserver/geofence/rest/UsersRestController.java

First issue, the documentation is erroneous, the REST resource for querying, deleting or updating a specific user is:
/rest/usergroup/user/{user} and not rest/usergroup/{user} where {user} is the user name.

Example, for updating user "nuno" a request similar to this one can be used:
curl -u admin:geoserver -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST -d '{"enabled":true}' 'http://localhost:8080/geoserver/security/rest/usergroup/user/nuno

Second issue, is not possible to query a specific user:
curl -u admin:geoserver -H 'Accept: application/json' 'http://localhost:8080/geoserver/security/rest/usergroup/user/nuno

I have created two issues for this so this will not be forgotten:
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-7667
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-7668

Nuno Oliveira

Thank you, Nuno Oliveira! Now I know how to manage users. I played around
with some url like ".../geoserver/geofence/rest/user/..." which did not
work.

It seems that there are to many different documentations out there and it is
hard to figure out.

Your post helped me a lot!
Christoph
