Specifying a Password to Protect a Map

When you open a map that was created in Release 4.0 or earlier, it is a good
idea to reselect the coordinate system to ensure that you take advantage of
any fixes that were made in this release. By reselecting the coordinate system,
you update the map projection with the new information in this release.
You use the Coordinate System tab of the Map Window Properties dialog box
to specify a coordinate system. For step-by-step instructions, choose Help
Contents, click the Index tab, and look up "coordinate systems, specifying."
You can secure your maps by assigning passwords to them. Using passwords
prevents other Autodesk MapGuide Author users from opening a proprietary
Internet-published map and accessing the information stored in its MWF file.
When you assign a password to a map, users must enter the correct password
each time they open the map.
Warning Don't forget your password! Autodesk MapGuide Author has no
mechanism for accessing passwords, so assign them thoughtfully and record
them in a secure location.
You use the Security tab of the Map Window Properties dialog box to specify
a password for a map. For step-by-step instructions, choose Help
click the Index tab, and look up "passwords, setting for maps."
Note You can also secure your maps by assigning access control keys to each
layer. For information about doing this, see Chapter 9, "Working with Map
Layers." Furthermore, you can assign access keys and passwords to the resources
themselves, so that all maps that use those resources require an access key or
password. See "Managing Server Security" on page 76 for more information.
