Hello Alberto,

In case nobody has said this yet: you can also use frameworks on top of
MapServer to handle WMS/OWS authentication, and here is a starting list
for you to examine:

- Mapbender: (been around a long long time and has a wonderful amount of
OWS functionality) http://www.mapbender.org/Mapbender_Wiki
- Geoprisma: http://geoprisma.org/site/index.php
- secureOWS: https://github.com/camptocamp/secureOWS
- GeoShield: http://istgeo.ist.supsi.ch/site/projects/geoshield

There are probably others :)
