[Qgis-user] Authentication in QGIS Server (WFS Service)

[Antonio Vico]

Hi all, and thanks for the replies.

Maybe I am not explained correctly what I want.

I don't want secure the acces to the qgis-web-client. I want secure the 
acces to the qgis wfs server when I connect to the map exported using 
qgis desktop.

The situation is this:

I can't acces directrly from qgis desktop (local) to postgresql database 
(remote) due the connexion conditions. For solve this, I create a qgis 
project (mymap.qgs) in the remote server that access directly to the 
database, and connect to this file with a wfs service (in my local qgis 
desktop I load a wfs layer from mymap.qgs with the data).

This configuration increase the speed in connexion (load wfs remote 
layer is more fast than load remote postgres layer) but has the problem 
that someone can connect to the wfs server and edit the data. Is this 
wfs connection what I want protect.

Now I am testing things about URL rewriting acconding comments from 
Andreas Newman.

About Lizmap, I tested this web client time ago and I don't know if can 
do what I want. I will test :-)
