Controlling Access to Maps In addition to controlling access to your map using the standard security features of your web server, you can add password protection to your maps through Autodesk MapGuide Author. Password protection prevents other Autodesk MapGuide Author users from opening a proprietary Internetpublished map and accessing the information stored in the MWF. You must enter the correct password each time you open a password-protected map. If you have a public site, another way to add security to your MWFs is to store the MWFs on a server inside of your firewall and have the MapAgent and HTML files on a server outside of the firewall. For more information, see "Using a Remote MapAgent" on page 52 and "Firewalls" on page 69. Controlling Map Layer Access to Data Sources You can control access to data sources (resources) by assigning access keys to them using Autodesk MapGuide Server Admin. An access key is a unique string that can include a start and end date. To use a resource that has an access key assigned to it, the map author embeds the access key in the layer or Zoom Goto definition that will access that resource. Security | 49

The security considerations for your Autodesk MapGuide site are the same as
those for any other web site that provides data. With that in mind, we recom-
mend that you create an organized directory structure with permissions that
appropriately protect the files on your Autodesk MapGuide-enabled web site.
In addition to the Windows NT/Windows 2000 and web server security
methods just discussed, you can also use a variety of methods in Autodesk
MapGuide Server to set up security.
Using Autodesk MapGuide Security
Autodesk MapGuide Server and Autodesk MapGuide Author provide you
with the following methods for keeping your data resources and maps secure:
User IDs and passwords to control access to maps, map layers, and data
sources
Access keys to control map layer access to data sources and map feature
coordinate values
Passkeys to control Viewer API access to layer setup data and map feature
coordinate values
You can use one or more of these methods depending on your security needs.
Controlling Access to Maps
In addition to controlling access to your map using the standard security
features of your web server, you can add password protection to your maps
through Autodesk MapGuide Author. Password protection prevents other
Autodesk MapGuide Author users from opening a proprietary Internet-
published map and accessing the information stored in the MWF. You must
enter the correct password each time you open a password-protected map.
If you have a public site, another way to add security to your MWFs is to store
the MWFs on a server inside of your firewall and have the MapAgent and
HTML files on a server outside of the firewall. For more information, see
“
Using a Remote MapAgent
”
on page 52 and
“
Firewalls
”
on page 69.
Controlling Map Layer Access to Data Sources
You can control access to data sources (resources) by assigning access keys to
them using Autodesk MapGuide Server Admin. An access key is a unique
string that can include a start and end date. To use a resource that has an
access key assigned to it, the map author embeds the access key in the layer
or Zoom Goto definition that will access that resource.
