[Geomoose-users] per user layers

[Jim Klassen]

Also, don't forget to password protect your datasource.  No sense hiding the layer from GeoMoose if someone can just get the data straight from MapServer anyway.

One option I've used involves separate map files for each data source and a lot of apache rules.  Another option I've used was to write a script that implements WMS via mapscript and validates off of your auth solution.

Also, don't forget the printing and query scripts need to understand the login part too.

The script would populate the available layers based on the auth levels of the user and I'd probably store that info in postgresql.
