[Geoserver-users] Tomcat Server REST permissions

GeoServer GeoServer User

Hello,

I've been testing the use of REST to upload/update stores on localhost and
recently moved to a tomcat server using .war

Once installed, geoserver gui runs fine, sample layers show. However, when I
wanted to submit a REST request, Tomcat raises a "403 Forbidden/ Access
denied" message.

I then tried accessing http://[servername]/geoserver/rest on browser and
again, gave me a 403 Access is denied.

I have made sure my rest.properties have been set to allow
POST,PUT,GET,DELETE for the user account I have set up.

Attached is the 403 Forbidden message upon submitting a cURL to GET info on
a test workspace.

Thanks & Bless,
Matt

Never mind, turns out in the rest.properties file, I've put the name of the
USER instead of the USERGROUP, hence 403 forbidden.
