Dear Ian,
I have set up a Filter "Credentials From Request Headers" and added it to the rest filter chain. For some reason the Filter gets removed from the rest filter chain after returning to the settings after a few minutes. I am not sure what triggers this.
How can I make this setting persist?
The user has the role "DEPLOY_API_ROLE", which is added to security/rest.properties:
/rest/workspaces/**;GET,POST,DELETE,PUT=DEPLOY_API_ROLE
I tried to access the API using python requests library:
result = requests.get(
api_endpoint + "/workspaces/climate/datastores",
headers={
"X-Credentials" : "private-user=" + api_username,
"X-Credentials" : "private-pw=" + api_password,
#"accept" : "application/xml",
#"content-type" : "application/json",
}
)
but only receive "403 Access Denied". Probably because the Filter is removed from the settings.
Am I missing something?
Cheers,
Simon

You can set the user up in the normal way (https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/security/index.html#security) and give them write permissions to any or all workspaces

Hi all,
I am currently trying to set up API Access to a geoserver server. I
would like to use a separate user and role with limited access to avoid
giving the API client admin access. The idea is to automatically upload
new data and make it available using a script that I am currently
developing.
Is there a proper way or a howto that I can follow? Googling only
directs me to setups that seem to be unsafe like assigning the Admin
role.
Cheers,
Simon
