I'm trying to implement row level security with GeoServer. I know out of the box it supports service, layer and REST security and not row level. However I'm sure there must be a work around. Has anyone successfully implemented it?
Answer
Not that I know of... i imagine this would be something that does not really classify as "workaround", but full on feature development :)
It is possible with geoserver to plug in your own security manager (ResourceAccessManager) so that could be a good hook into code for implementing this. It was actually just recently redesigned to allow for finer grained security constraints so I imagine it would not be too hard to implement something custom with it.
There is also work going on (via a summer of code project) to improve the configurability of the security subsystem. I am not sure if it involves row level concerns... I suggest asking on the geoserver-devel list for an update.
