🔐 Key Authentication in Geoserver | Krishna G Lodha

Do you know that #geoserver allows you to authenticate requests from URL itself. Of course it's not the safest option 🔐 but it can help you use Geoserver assets in an environment where HTTP Authentication is not possible using Key authentication plugin.
In this video 📹 I have explained how to
1. 🔌 Install the plugin
2. 👤 Use it to create Unique identifiers for the users
3. ⚡ (Bonus) How to synchronise users to automatically add UUID of newly created users.

Thanks for the video. I am facing challenges with user creation. I can be able to create a user GeoServer with rest API after following this video.
