Geowebcache Status page is now restricted

[pchevali]

With previous builds of the geoserver image, the geowebcache status page was accessible. Now it is blocked.
It seems to be intentional as the web.xml contains the following lines :

<security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>BlockGWC</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/gwc/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>BLOCKED</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>AllowGWC_Demo</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/gwc/demo/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> </security-constraint> <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>AllowGWC_Services</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/gwc/service/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> </security-constraint> <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>AllowGWC_Rest</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/gwc/rest/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> </security-constraint>

Is there a reason ?
And how is the geoserver.war artefact built ( I have not changed the version that I am using : 24.4.4, so it seems that there is a build reproductibility problem as well ) ?

The patch was applied for security reasons. I cannot disclose more at the moment.
We decided to update the published image, since this change doesn't affect GeoNode functionality.
