Hi Brian,

 

The one thing that comes to mind is to check if your WMS requests both
carry the REQUEST= and SERVICE= parameters.  MapGuide currently uses the
presence of both arguments to bypass normal security requirements, using
special WMS or WFS user credentials.

greetings

 

just digging into mgos so please forgive the simple questions...

 

got everything working on a Windows 2003 server. Imported data using the
Autodesk Preview program (quite nice). Figured out how to enable WMS
services and I can query the GetCapabilities file successfully.

 

1) Whenever I try use the mapagent to make a WMS request (other then
GetCapabilities) it requires a logon. I must be missing the simple
setting to allow anonymous users access to WMS mapping...

 

2) in the designer, is there an easy way to set the initial extent of a
map to the full extent of any layer/feature class? There is handy link
to make the initial extent the current exent of the preview map but
nothing that would set it to the extent of any one layer inside the map.
Also, I know my data is NAD83 SPC in NJ but it looks like the coords in
the extent bounds for the data are wrong? any thoughts?

 

cheers

brian
