[Cartoweb-users] MapFile based upon user credentials

[Oliver Christen]

3DSiteHi Milo

cant you use the existing system ?
http://www.cartoweb.org/doc/cw3.3/xhtml/user.security.html#user.security.plugin_permissions.layers

if you want to change layer data on-the-fly, you can change some (not all) parameters via mapOverlay
see example there
http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/cartoweb-users/2007-March/002236.html
dont hesitate to look at the code of ServerMapOverlay.php to see the available action possible, its pretty strightforward
also http://www.cartoweb.org/doc/cw3.3/apidoc/Plugins/ServerMapOverlay.html

regards
Oliver

  Hello list!

  I want my mapfile to have layers based upon user credentials. For instance:
  - A user logs in to the system. The moment the user logs in, a specific postGIS database should be accessed for certain fixed layers. Within the query to access the layer, a parameter pointsetID is introduced restricting the user to only get points that validate with the pointsetID should get returned.

  My feeling tells me to use the mapOverlay, but it is not to well documented.

  Any tips or tricks?
