[mapserver-users] securing mapserver layers

Hello

I would like to set up mapserver so that some map files are open to anyone, some open to only internal users, and other maps are only open to users that enter in a user name and password.  Is there a way to set up mapserver / Apache so that I can secure the mapserver services for different types of users?

For example:
Public Users, or any users
	http://geomoose.lyonco.org/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=public_map	
Internal Users
	http://geomoose.lyonco.org/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=internal_map
External users with the correct username and password
	http://geomoose.lyonco.org/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=password_protected_map

Thank You


p.s.  I asked a similar question in the past, but I am having trouble finding that question and response.  So I appologize for asking the same question again
