Designing Your System
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 maps using the standard security
features of your Web server, you can add password protection to your maps
using 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 55 and “Firewalls” on page 73.
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.
Each time a user attempts to access that map layer (such as by panning or
zooming) or Zoom Goto definition, the access key is automatically sent to
the server along with the request for the data. Autodesk MapGuide Server
verifies the key and its start/end dates (if any) against the list of access keys
assigned to that resource before providing the data. If the key is verified,
Autodesk MapGuide Server loads the layer’s data; otherwise, the program
displays a message indicating that access to the data is denied.
When assigning access keys to map layers, you need to coordinate with the
person administering Autodesk MapGuide Server to make sure that the
access key is properly assigned to the specific resource that provides data to
that map layer. For more information, see “Creating and Modifying Access
Keys” on page 84 and “Specifying Security for Layers” on page 173.
