[Geoserver-users] Security with REST API

GeoServer GeoServer User
1

Hi All,

I am trying to create security rules on GeoServer through the REST API, I am trying to create the tutorial steps of the link below via REST, however, I am not getting success.

https://docs.boundlessgeo.com/suite/1.1.1/sysadmin/security/multiuser/index.html

I was able to create users and workspaces without problems, but when I get to the ROLES, it gives an error. The closest to creating that I got was this way:

curl -v -u admin:geoserver -XPOST -H “Content-type: text/xml” -d “ROLE_EDIT” http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/security/roles

And the GeoServer returned the following message to me: HTTP / 1.1 405 Method Not Allowed

What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to create ROLES and set permissions via REST?

That documentation is not provided by the community, we would welcome the contribution of an example once you get it working.

I encourage you to check the test cases, for that specific rest end point, as a good place to find a working/tested example.

Hi Fernando,

To create a new role I am using the following endpoint:

POST
Headers:
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Authorization: Basic your-authorization

https://www.your.geoserver.url.com/rest/security/roles/role/

Hope this helps.
Cheers.
