[mapguide-users] Connecting to remote files using mapagent ?

[Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S]

Your MapGuide Server, runs under a "Local System Account".
You can change the account, from the "Control Panel" -> "Administrative 
Tools" -> "Services" application.
Beware that you will most likely have to set up local permissions on the 
MapGuide folders if you change the account for the service.

Alternatively, the local system account from the MapGuide Server 
machine, must have read access to the shared folder.
I'm not sure how to acomplish this, since the mapguide server uses the 
"Local System Account", and thus does not have a shared domain with the 
server hosting the files.

If you are unconserned with security, you might set up the share to 
allow "Guest" access.
