If I go with environment variables and 1), how do I get SECRET_CODE into
the URLs in the GetCapabilities document ?
I'm assuming I need to modify wms_onlineresource ?
It would be really cool if .map files automatically substituted
$variables in general, beyond what [1] covers.

I'd probably do something with a script and some URL rewriting.
For example, a URL like...
- http://myserver.whee/path/SECRET_CODE/mapserv?[WMS parameters]
Then do the following:
1. Low-buck: Use apache rewrite rules to set an environment variable.
Then use the environment variable for my substitutions.
2. Using WSGI (I'm a python kind of guy): Parse the URL to get the
secret to do the limiting.
Really this kind of stuff is always application specific, and you are
ultimately the person who needs to maintain it, so stick to what
you'll be able to understand 6-months after you've implemented it. :-)

Hi,
I would like to restrict different users to different geographic regions
based on a secret in the URL they are using to access MapServer.
I intend to use an inner join on a table with secrets / polygons, and then
use the run-time substitution in MapServer to insert the sanitized secret
into the Postgis query.
The crux, I think, is that I have to send WMS 1.3.0 GetCapabilities URLs to
our users. And I don't think I can make the getcapabilties document include
the (variable) secret in the OnlineResource elements ?
So I am thinking about writing a wrapper that rewrites the GetCapabilities
document on the fly. My question is, is there a better way that I have not
thought of?
Kind regards,
Arne
