Others may have different ideas but it seems to me you'll need to secure the wms binary

separate
WMS binaries, one for password-protected stuff and another for public stuff, call 'em
wms1 and wms2. Latest versions of MapServer allow you to set an env variable called
MS_MAPFILE_PATTERN. This is used as a regex test against the requested mapfile
and can
help restrict what can be loaded. It's not fool proof but is a good start. You

I thought I knew how regex worked but I guess not. Attempting to follow
your advice, I'm trying to run this file from a wrapper:
/var/www/mapfiles/MyMapfile.map
and in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, I've set the following line:
SetEnv MS_MAPFILE_PATTERN='^/var/www/mapfiles/.*$'
and restarted the httpd service.
But what's wrong with my regex? I'm getting this error:
msEvalRegex(): Regular expression error. String
(/var/www/mapfiles/MyMapfile.map) failed expression test.
