[Geoserver-users] GS 2.3.0 seeding form, anonymous error

GeoServer GeoServer User

Hello,

I have some difficulties for seeding layers with GS 2.3.0 since I've updated the server. I can seed while opening a layer through GS > Tile Layers > Preview.

But when I use the embedded GWC page for seeding a layer, nothing is added to tasks lists, and the log file returns some errors "Cannot access WMS.GetMap as anonymous". Doest it come from security configuration?
Here is some extract from the log file :

It seems you have secured the access to GetMap operation, so that only a
few users can do so.
However, the GWC seeding threads are operating without any authentication,
so they fail.

Generally speaking, security and caching do not mix well.
