First of all: thank you for getting the time to answer.

Unfortunately now I'm confused.

It seems that the Geoprisma WMS proxy does not alter the 
GetCapabilities returned by the WMS service in any way.

The GetCapabilities returned by the proxy contains all the 
layers, regardless the user having rights on them.

Also the OnlineResource xlink:href in the GetCapabilities (this 
is from the on-line samples/borealisacl/) is:

  <OnlineResource xlink:href="http://dev4g.mapgears.com?"/>

whereas I expect to see the proxy href:
http://geoprisma.org/samples/borealisacl/xml/proxy.php?....

This will breaks some WMS clients (e.g. QGIS), which will asks 
the GetMap directly to the WMS service instead to the proxy.

I was not able to fix it fiddling with the config or with the 
query parameters. I searched also the Geoprisma code, but it 
seems to me that that functionalities are not implemented.

If I am right with this insight, is Geoprisma proxy intended to 
support this features? Is there some code stub where I can to 
start looking at?

Thank you again.
