GeoFence library

This section aims to describe the Geofence library in order to help developers to manage users, groups, rules and instances in Geofence server.

First of all, you need to configure Geofence with GeoServer using a probe. Download the geofence-plugin at this link https://github.com/geoserver/geofence according to your GeoServer version. The plugin contains three JAR files that you must insert in the WEB-INF/lib in geoserver.

After configuring between Geofence server with GeoServer, for instance, it's possible create an user in Geofence and automatically it's possible to login (with this user) in GeoServer.

Following is a list of methods (divided in sections), with all details to uderstand how invoke them.
