He, that's excellent to hear. Thanks for the tip.
No, it's not excellent. DRM is defective by design.
Hrm, perhaps I misunderstood. I read "access control" as in password
protection to get into my WMS/WFS server.
Gerry, did you mean access control at the application layer, so I can
have Mapserver manage user accounts and access to my WMS layers, or
something deeper such as DRM on the imagery, copy-protection on
GeoTIFFs, and the like?
(yeah, it's off the topic of Mapserver; so's a lot of educational and
interesting stuff we talk about :)
