[Geoserver-users] Help on tutorial from Geoserver pages

Hello,

Using a fresh Geoserver 2.4.0 installation:

Im trying to test the 'J2EE Authentication' following the page http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/security/tutorials/j2ee/index.html but im stuck in the step n. 7
At this point the page informs 'Select “Web UI” from the Request type drop down.' The fact is I cant find the drop down menu 'request type' on the main page 'Authentication', under the 'Filter Chains' section, as instructed by that tutorial.

There are chances that im doing something stupid, Im stuck anyway, apreciate any help on clues how to do to get it done.

Thanks,

Hi Rodrigo, unfortunately that tutorial has not been updated to reflect
some changes in the 2.4.0 UI.
What you should do is:
- click on the "web" link in the "Filter Chains" list
- a new page with a "Selected" and "Available" lists at the bottom should
appear
- select the j2ee filter and position it BEFORE the anonymous filter (to
do that you should add j2ee and then move it up using the "up" arrow so
that anonymous is the last on the Selected list)
- click on "Close"
- click on "Save"

I will open a ticket to update the tutorial.

Regards,
Mauro Bartolomeoli
