[mapserver-users] Control access to WMS

[Steve.Toutant at inspq.qc.ca]

Hi,
I defined a WMS Raster layer that I use in my OpenLayers/GeoExt apps,
I would like to control the access to this WMS, so people can use it via 
my application, but can not "call" the WMS to use it in their client 
application. The reason is there is a "context" that comes with this WMS. 
Without it the data can be misinterpreted.

I already posted this thread on OpenLayers list. It seems that the 
solution could be on the server side with Apache. Someone suggested to 
limit the access with a user and password or other functionality with 
Apache.

My application will be public so there is no user and password but I still 
need to control the access to this particular WMS layer.
Is there something I can control using MapServer?

thanks for your help!
Steve
