[mapguide-users] MapLayout Authorization demand

[Brian Flood]

thanks Andy, how are the OSMG demos working, I don't think I was prompted
when I viewed them?  Is there a walkthrough for using the .Net viewers from
another hosting page (like in the php example demos)

I was following the parameter discussions from yesterday, interesting
indeed. I'm not sure I like embedding user/pwd in urls though. 

cheers
brian

I don't think you're missing anything.  The only way I've seen to open a web
layout without user login prompt is to embed it in a web page.  In that
page, you have to programmatically create a session based on a valid user
and pass the session at the URL.  The example applications show this.
 
There was some discussion on GETMAP request parameters yesterday.  I just
tried adding &USERNAME=Anonymous to the URL.  In Internet Explorer, I still
get the user login dialog, but can just click on OK or Cancel without
entering anything and it opens fine.  With Firefox, I am not prompted for
login and the layout opens fine.

When I create a simple Map Layout and try to access it from a browser, I
always get the login screen. I thought if "Everyone" was assigned read
access to it, there would be no logon request. Again, I'm probably missing
the obvious...
