Security of data

[Ed McNierney]

Randy -

If the information is that sensitive, what's to keep the users from
doing screen captures and saving the image files, regardless of what you
do with MapServer?  Unless you have a well-built secure laptop
environment, anything you put on the screen can go on the disk.

I was trying to figgure out how to protect sensitive information. We
have mapserver set up on our LAN, which does not allow http requests
from the internet. It protects our data from the internet but now I am
getting people who want to do reasearch in our office using thier own
laptop. The problem i am faced with is the c:\windows\temp\*.png files
that is downloaded by thier internet explorer. How do I make sure they
are not taken out of our office when they pack their laptop out? Is
there a way to display the maps and not have these files in the
windows\temp folder?

Randy
