[mapguide-users] newbie question about security

[dorra2007]

All users acess the same map (and layout), but the difference between users
consists in the temporary layers loaded, according to his parameters stored
in a database.
So, I am wondering if there is a mapguide security API that manages users in
this way, or a security and login code ready for use.I'll be very grateful
if you provide me with this code.
My problem is that users are not prompted for a login and password, while
they have also access denied.
