[mapguide-users] RE: Setting up own security with MapGuide

[Ismael Cams]

These are non-geospatial databases. Basically I get the id of a feature (e.g.
parcelnumber) out of the map and need to get information out of these
databases based on the id. The kind of information is very different (e.g.
reports, parcel information). The used database vendors are ranging from SQL
Server, MS Acces to Oracle. The access is done with a direct connection (not
via FDO) towards the databases.
One thing that should be possible for example is to add new information to
the database based on a spatial filter in the map. But not everyone is
allowed to this, neither is everybody allowed to generate reports.
Each of these handlings are separate .aspx pages that need to be secured
based on the user that is logged in (windows users). Therefore I need to
work with Integrated Security. 

Hope this gives a clear picture of what I try to achieve.
