[mapguide-users] WMS now in Google Earth

[Chris Tallman]

Changed it.  Thanks.
 
Correct the url mgos.innomap.com gets forwarded to mgos.innomap.com:8080
which is an internal computer.  I have the MapGuide Admin using the
forwarded address for the server name.
This is the problem I was having.  I'm not sure why the password
challenge/response is being issued.  There does not seem to be any user
restrictions on that folder in IIS.  I've tried the mapguide
passwords along with various windows accounts.  None of these seem to be
passing.

When I enter that URL, it is redirecting to
http://mgos.innomap.com:8080/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi.  I think
your problem is in your WMS config in MapGuide Admin.  Go into those
settings and then under General Properties, change the Server name from
the above listed one to mgos.innomap.com.  Google Earth is using these
parameters when it assembles the WMS request URL.
 
Actually, I'm not sure that is it.  I was just playing around and this
should work:
http://mgos.innomap.com:8080/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi?REQUEST=Get
Capabilities&SERVICE=WMS&FORMAT=text/xml but it is issuing a password
challenge/response unrelated to MapGuide.  But, this is working:
http://mgos.innomap.com:8080/mapguide/mapagent/index.html
 
You may want to change your default Administrator password to something
different.........

http://mgos.innomap.com/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi?VERSION=1.1.1&RE
QUEST=GetMap&SRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=512&HEIGHT=512&LAYERS=WorldCoord/Layers
/Census_Tracts_TIGER00_IN&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&FORMAT=image/png
 
This should work other then the password thing.  This is pretty much
what Google creates after you select the layer.  Only GE seems to change
the mgos.innomap.com to innomap, maybe a variable of sorts?
 
Anyway this should work

So the WMS Server you are entering is your own or are you using
http://data.mapguide.com/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi
<http://data.mapguide.com/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi> ?  What did
you try in IE?

Ok I've gotten that far.  For some reason or another, after I select the
layer I want, hit ok.  It trys said selected layer.  This is when its
asking for a password.  I've even tried it in IE and I get challenged.
I'm still in version 1.0.0 if that helps.
 
Any Ideas?

The .fcgi URL is the WMS Server URL and you don't open it directly in a
browser. You add that as a new WMS Server in the "Web Mapping Service
Parameters" Google Earth dialog box.  Once you do that, it will show you
the layers that are on that WMS Server (MGOS) that are exposed via WMS.

Andy,
 
I'm being prompted for a password.  Do you know what I'm missing?  I've
tried different passwords and nothing seems to work.

For those of you who follow Google Earth happenings, the latest release
of beta 4 supports WMS as image overlay sources.  It's very cool, pretty
easy to use and even includes a number of pre-reloaded WMS URL's.  Our
own DM Solutions server is even listed (it's the last one in the list -
easy to find).  If you have a previous version of GE, you have to
uninstall it prior to installing this version.  This blog entry has some
details on how to use this feature:
http://www.ogleearth.com/2006/09/wms_how_does_it.html
<http://www.ogleearth.com/2006/09/wms_how_does_it.html> 

I tried it with some WMS layers from MapGuide Open Source and Enterprise
and it worked reasonably well.  You may have to manually tweak the WMS
request parameters manually.  For instance, change FORMAT=image/gif to
FORMAT=image/png or transparency doesn't seem to work.  One thing to
watch out for, MapGuide only supports single layer WMS requests so do
not try to add more than one layer to the single overlay definition or
it will fail.

Attached is a KMZ placemark of the Sheboygan hydrography layer from
Autodesk's demo server.  If you want to work with the other layers there
just add a new WMS Server in the GE dialog using
