Information You Need from Your Autodesk
MapGuide Server Administrator
Before you can begin creating map layers, you need information about the
resources (spatial, raster, and attribute data) that you will use in your map.
You also need information about the Autodesk MapGuide Server through
which you will access those resources. The following list tells you which
information you need to gather. Your server administrator will be able to
provide you with this information.
The location of the resources, and any access keys or passwords assigned
to the resources. You will use this information when setting up a layer.
The URL of the Autodesk MapGuide Server MapAgent. If your organiza-
tion has more than one Autodesk MapGuide Server, you may have more
than one map agent to choose from. You specify the map agent you want
to use when you set up a layer. Typically, the URL looks something like:
http://www.yourcompany.com/scripts/mapagent.exe
Confirmation that you have been granted authoring privileges. Before
you can browse for available resources to use for a layer, the server admin-
istrator must grant you authoring privileges by adding your user name
and password to the Authors group in the Autodesk MapGuide Server
Admin.
