The webconfig.ini configuration file on the web tier contains settings for WfsPassword and WmsPassword. They default to "wfs" and "wms" respectively. When a WFS or WMS request is made to the map agent, it uses the appropriate user (either WfsUser or WmsUser), along with the configured password, in order to authenticate with the server.
The server should have the two users configured appropriately. The passwords can be set through the admin interface, and a reboot may be required in order to synchronize them between the server and web tier. Also, if a WFS request is not formed correctly, it may not be recognized as a WFS request at all, in which case the default user will not be used and you'll get prompted for authentication. In a case like this, the request typically fails even if you enter a valid username and password. Can you give details of the WFS request you're sending? Chris.

I'll change it back to the default if some can tell me what that is supposed to be. However I don't think it will solve my problem, as I was being prompted before I changed it.

If so is there a fix? My requests to the WMS service work fine. I'm also having problems with WMS not being projected correctly when consumed by another MGOS server, but that's for another post. I really need to get the WFS password thing figured out. I'm running .net, windows server 2003, IIS. Chris Tallman 260-356-9074
