[mapserver-users] ms4w - Application protection with password

[Jeff McKenna]

I quickly executed the exact steps mentioned in the MS4W readme 
(http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL.html#password-protection-configuration-for-applications) 
   and I was successful.

(note that MS4W has its own email list: join at 
http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/ms4w-users)
