All users acess the same map (and layout), but the difference between users consists in the temporary layers loaded, according to his parameters stored in a database. So, I am wondering if there is a mapguide security API that manages users in this way, or a security and login code ready for use.I'll be very grateful if you provide me with this code. My problem is that users are not prompted for a login and password, while they have also access denied.
