[mapserver-users] securing mapserver layers

[Lars Lingner]

Hello,

i'm having a similar use case at the moment. For the authorizaion and
authentication I'm using MapProxy [1].

Basically it is a proxy your users will query. The proxy itself uses
MapServer as source.
Your can restrict whole WMS, layers or even regions, defined by
bbox/shapefile.

It is running well with MapServer and I was able to set it up by using
the online documentation.
