Hi Massimiliano,<br>I've just found the time to have a look to GeoShield. Thanks for it. Just a question: have you considered the Security components provided by 52 North? <a href="http://52north.org/communities/security/index.html">http://52north.org/communities/security/index.html</a><br>

Dear list,<br>
it is a pleasure to announce the release of GeoShield (version 0.2.1).<br>
<br>
GeoShield is a project born to offer a centralized way to define
security access-control to geo-services. <br>
It acts like a proxy, intercepting all the communications between
clients and OGC compliant services (WMS, WFS, and in future WPS, SOS).<br>
GeoShield is able to manage users and groups, it handles authentication
and privileges settings among groups and registered services. It is
capable to analyse requests applying the filters set to the user and
manipulating the response.<br>
It is a server side
security software to secure OGC services.<br>
<br>
The interested people can find the source code and a web archive
package (.war) ready for Tomcat:<br>
