[Mapbender-dev] MS Windows certificated WMS (Typ PKCS .p12)

[Michael Schulz]

Hi Roland,

did you try using the owsproxy module from mapbender. It is primarily
designed to provide a security proxy functionality and should exactly
do what you want. The clients gets a url that points to your server,
the server proxies this request to the original wms url and sends the
image back to the client.

This is for the proxy part only. Now you have to tell apache to use
the required certificate. I am not sure how to do this or even if it
can be done, but i think it is easier than cascading the wms via
mapserver.

Cheers, Michael
