[mapserver-users] Is there a way to use REMOTE_USER environment variable in RunTime Substitution?
I'm using apache basic auth to filter results. I have been able to use mod_rewrite to create a cookie with the authenticated username and use that in runtime subst but it would be much simpler and cleaner to just do it reading the environment variable. So far, I haven't found a way to do this in current master. Any ideas? -- Michael Smith US Army Corps Remote Sensing GIS/Center ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
Re: [mapserver-users] Map collaring techniques.
Bob, Years ago we had experimented with using Mapserver to do automated mapping (to produce printed maps 34 x 46 inches). The maps were of pipeline alignments and needed to be rotated so the pipeline was roughly parallel to the X axis of the paper. And they required imagery as a backdrop. And they required a [rotated] labelled graticule. In the end we had to use a combination of Mapserver, Arcview, and custom s/w. Let me know how your efforts turn out...

I know I can do it with MapSCRIPT, but being able to pass in a image to MapServer would be the cool way.

Re: [mapserver-users] Map collaring techniques.
Bob or Brent, it would be great if you can record this trick on the MapServer wiki (https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki); as this thread will be long lost shortly.
