All,
One method you might try, would be to use the new include mechanisms in
the MAPFILES and have a separate MapFile header for each client. You
need to set the Extents somewhere anyway, just keep a separate header
file and include the LAYER defs from a separate central file.
Although, this is not full proof with regard to locking folks out if
they now the names of the MAPFILE headers for requesting.

Steve,
I may be confusing this with a feature of ka-map, but I'm not sure.
Steve L do you know if there is such a feature in mapserver?

ps: lots of Steve is confusing!

Hi all,
Is it possible to restrict the users viewable extent of the map
through the map file? For example, I have data loaded for the whole
of the country but I want it to be impossible for any client tool to
view data beyond a defined and fixed extent.
The EXTENT parameters just seem to set the initial extent and you can
easily zoom out beyond this extent.
I appreciate this is fairly easy to do through code but though that
if this was possible via a mapfile then it would be done at the
'lowest' level...
Yes, I believe you can do it by setting METADATA values for the MAP
object. I just check the mapfile reference and it is not described
there. Could you please write a documentation bug to request all
METADATA controls be documented.

Thanks for this Steve, do you happen to know off hand any of the
relevant keywords to this problem (to get me started). I could take a
look through the code and dig deeper if I have somewhere to start.
This will also enable me to file a more accurate and useful bug...
Cheers,
Steve H
