[mapserver-users] Access control for wms served from mapserver cgi

[Mike Leahy]

Hello list,

Does anyone on this list know of a simple strategy for configuring 
Apache to restrict access to specific mapfiles served as WMS through the 
cgi mapserv program?  I'd like to do is restrict access to specific IPs 
for URLs like the following: 
http://host/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/path/to/file.map[&...].

It's easy enough to limit access to the mapserv executable itself, but 
I'd rather do it on a per-mapfile basis.  I tried a couple things using 
mod_rewrite in apache, but anything I've tried so far doesn't seem to work.

I know that this sort of question has been asked before, but after 
searching/tinkering for a while, I haven't found a solution that works 
for me yet.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Mike
