[mapguide-users] SQL Import Spatial Data

[Jason Birch]

Ah.  Yes, I think MapGuide's authentication is fine, but the
authorization model is a bit dysfunctional.

 

Active Directory / LDAP are not directly supported, so you'd have to
test group membership in your application and map this to the
appropriate RO/RW users on the MapGuide server, and make sure that
everything goes over SSL.

 

This doesn't isolate you from poorly-behaved users or CSS attacks
stealing a session key and using it directly against the web tier
though.  I think the only way of dealing with this particular issue is
fixing the MapGuide security model.

AD is Active Directory. I was planning on using it for authentication. I
forgot who it was that said it, but they felt that mg's security was
"broken".
