I wish to know how to assign a user account to a layer (or layer definition), so that when he wish access this layer, he will be promted for a user name and password.
The workaround we used for this was to assign security at the map level rather than the layer level. We created a separate map for each security group that included only the layers appropriate to that group. We also created one layout for each of these maps, so it was easy for the security and login code already in place on the webserver to just load the appropriate layout after the user was authenticated.
Since we only had four secuirty groups this was a simple solution. If the were many different combinations of layer permissions required it would be too cumbersome to maintain a separate map and layout for each.
