Description

When using a WFS layer to access to a private service protected by apache BasicAuth, the requests don't use the information provided in the login/password area of the service configuration to add an Authorization header to the request.
With standard apache configuration, you then have the authentication pop-up which appears and allows you to put your credentials. But with more complex configurations it simply doesn't work.
The WFS module should behave juste like the WMS module does.

  • Target version set to Version 2.2

We have a GeoServer 2.4 with public services and those that require authentication. The Add WFS Layer from a Server dialog only shows the public layers even though I've supplied a valid login. None of the private layers show up. I can successfully add a public layer. However, when editing, the WFS-T for that layer requires authentication. It fails to commit to the WFS-T so it appears that it's not using the auth information here either.

The response when trying to save is:

Commit errors: Could not commit changes to layer geonode:incidente
Errors: ERROR: 1 feature(s) not added.
Provider errors:
unhandled response: html

There is nothing that tells me it's failing to authenticate though. All of the private layers do show up in the Add WMS dialog.
