Enhancing MapStore Rule Manager

[tdipisa]

Description

Currently the MapStore Rule Manager

supports only one GeoServer instance by plugin configuration.

We have to definitely enhance it to be able to support N instances as effectively possible on the BE side.
Currently the rule manager can define auth rules only for one single GeoServer instance. With this implementation
it should be possible to define multiple GeoServer instance endpoint via MS UI to be able to assign the desired one to created rules instead of directly assigning the one defined by plugin configuration, as it is now.

Acceptance Criteria

1. It is possible to define/manage a list of multiple GeoServer endpoints directly from the existing MapStore Rule Manage UI: https://github.com/geoserver/geofence/wiki/GeoFence-REST-API#gsinstances-operations

Below is an example of how the UI works in the old GF admin UI

2. When defining/configuring an auth rule, it is possible to assign/change the related GeoServer instance the auth rule should refer to
3. It is possible to filter rules by GF instance within the Rule Manager table

Some mockup proposal is expected before start working on the implementation.

This need to be compatible for GeoFence Stand-Alone and GeoServer Integrated versions.

Hi @tdipisa
these are some mockups for proposed UI, please check it and give the feedback:

1-

2-

3- when user switches between tabs --> the buttons on the left side will be replaced based on the active tab grid

4- here while adding new rule --> user will select which GS instance want to add this rule

The overall UI organization sounds nice. It would be good also a feedback from @allyoucanmap
