Re: [mapserver-users] distance between line and a given point usingmapscript
I got the looping through each result. However, all distances are
calculated to -1, which I know can't be right. In debugging, I'm also
echo'ing the shape index for each result, but it's always the same. Am I
constructing the layer correctly?

$points[$row['snum']][$i]['lon'] = $row['lon'];
} // End loop through points
// create map object
$map = ms_newMapObj('wms.map');
// create new layer for hurricane tracks.
$my_layer = ms_newLayerObj($map);
// set some fields for this new layer
$my_layer->set("toleranceunits","miles");
$my_layer->set("tolerance","20");
// Create new class and add TEMPLATE.
$my_class = ms_newClassObj($my_layer);
$my_class->set("template",'query_template.html');
// Loop through points, create line for each storm, and add track points
to new line object.
while (list($snum,$coordinates)=each($points)){
// Create new line object
$my_line = ms_newLineObj();
// Loop through each point coordinate for this snum
while (list($num,$coordinate)=each($coordinates)){
// Create new point object
$my_point = ms_newpointObj();
$my_point->setXY($coordinate['lon'],$coordinate['lat']);
// Add point to line object
$my_line->add($my_point);
} // done adding this storm's points to the line object
// Now create a new shape object
$my_shape = ms_newShapeObj(MS_SHAPE_LINE);
$my_shape->add($my_line);
// Add feature to the layer
$my_layer->addFeature($my_shape);
} // end creating and adding points to line objects and line objects to
the layer.
// Draw map.
$map->draw();
// Make a new point object that will be our reference point.
$my_ref_point = ms_newpointObj();
$my_ref_point->setXY(-78.7,35.4); // user-entered coordinates of where we

[mapserver-users] Legend: Calling one of two layers shows both legend entries
Dear all, I am using a mapfile with two layers. When using Geomoose 2 as client and turning the first of these layers on from the legend, the respective signature will appear in the legend at its respective location (as expected), but also the legend location of the second layer. I tried using STATUS ON / OFF at layer level - but no success. How can I change this? I added two screenshots for clarification. Mapbook snippets are below. When calling the legend via URL in my browser, there is no such problem: http://host/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/srv/coffeeshop/map/conservation.map&mode=legend&layer=LAYER-01&layer=LAYER-02 shows both legend signatures http://host/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/srv/coffeeshop/map/conservation.map&mode=legend&layer=LAYER-01 shows only the signature of LAYER-01 Any hints on that?

[mapserver-users] Mapserver Security
I have some questions about securing a MapServer WMS. From the googlits
I've gathered it seems that the easy way is to use Basic Authentication
if you have Apache. I do have that on my Linux-based server, so I sealed
off the directory in which I have my mapfile and web template. And so
far so good. If a browser attempts to access that directory it is
challenged to produce a valid username/password.
However, in my CGI directory, I have a wrapper set up for this directory
that looks something like this:
MS_MAPFILE=/var/www/html/theDir/theFile.map
export MS_MAPFILE
QUERY_STRING="map=${MS_MAPFILE}&zoomdir=0&zoomsize=2&layer=counties&layer=states&...
/var/www/cgi-bin/mapserv
It works fine, but I don't know why it works because it accesses the
mapfile in /theDir/, and /theDir is supposed to be password protected
now by Apache. To make sure that I didn't already have a valid user in
my browser, I shut it down and then tried again. When I ran that wrapper
it picked up its info from the mapfile and then happily drew the map
using the web template file that's also in that "protected" directory.
It's as if there was no security at all!
But if I steer my browser to that directory and try to access the
mapfile directly, I get challenged to produce a password before I can
access any file in that directory.
I also just discovered another issue that should have been obvious but
I didn't realize the implications until now. That is, if someone just
tries a getCapabilities and gets a list of what's on my server, then
they can view those layers via calls to getMap regardless of whether my
map file is in a protected directory or not. But I thought they had to
read the map file for getCapabilities to work, and yet on my system, the
map files in protected directories seem to be just as friendly to
strangers as the mapfiles in my public directories.
So can anybody explain what I need to do to secure a Mapserver WMS site
or can you point me to a "HOW TO" document that explains things? Also,
are there any other possible security surprises that I probably don't
know about? I'd like to get these information leaks plugged up.
Thanks in advance,

Without reading/answering all your questions:
apache security protects apache paths, so /xyz is protected because you
put access rights on /xyz.
you didnt put access rights on /cgi-bin, so /cgi-bin is not protected.
A cgi program (mapserv in this case) does not know anything about apache
security, so it can access any path it wants. Apache also has no
control over cgi programs, so it cannot stop mapserv from acccessiinng
(sp?) any path it wants.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver Security
MS_MAPFILE=/var/www/html/theDir/theFile.map

/var/www/cgi-bin/mapserv
it accesses the
mapfile in /theDir/, and /theDir is supposed to be password protected
now by Apache.
Correct. But the browser is not calling /theDir/ as an URL. The browser
is calling /cgi-bin/wrapper.cgi
Therefore, Apache will only apply security for /cgi-bin/ to the request.
After the request has been approved (since cgi-bin is not protected)
Apache pays no attention at all to what the program DOES, including
accessing file paths.
But if I steer my browser to that directory and try to access the
mapfile directly, I get challenged to produce a password before I can
access any file in that directory.
Exactly right. Apache matches the URL or directory that the BROWSER
requested, and in this case the browser was in fact trying to access
/theDir/
So can anybody explain what I need to do to secure a Mapserver WMS site
or can you point me to a "HOW TO" document that explains things?
Sure.
Remove MapServer from cgi-bin and place it somewhere where it will not
be directly accessible from the web -- for example /usr/local/bin/mapserv.
Modify your wrapper.cgi to use the new path to mapserv
Then password-protect the directory which contains wrapper.cgi
The result will be that one can only access MapServer through
wrapper.cgi, and that wrapper.cgi will be password protected. If you're
the only one using MapServer and only to serve "protected" layers, this
should be just what you need.
are there any other possible security surprises that I probably don't
know about? I'd like to get these information leaks plugged up.
As far as MapServer bugs, nope. This one isn't even an Apache bug; it's
the way Apache works and is documented to work, just misunderstood. But
following the above (password-protect cgi-bin and move mapserv out of
it) will get past this surprise.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver Security
Others may have different ideas but it seems to me you'll need to secure the
wms binary
rather than a directory. (I wouldn't store mapfiles and templates in a web
accessible location
anyway.) There are probably many ways to do this. One idea might be to have
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
could set that
variable conditionally based on what binary (wms1 or wms2) is requested (see
mod_setenvif).
You'd apply password protection against the wms1 in this case.
You can go further and not allow full path mapfiles at all. (see MS_MAP_NO_PATH
in this
document: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/EnvironmentVariables). In this
case
you'd set:
SetEnv MS_MAP_NO_PATH 1
SetEnv WMS1_MAPFILE 'some path'
SetEnv WMS2_MAPFILE 'some other path'
and users could only use WMS1_MAPFILE or WMS2_MAPFILE in WMS calls (or CGI
calls for that
matter). You might even be able to secure one wms binary based on the mapfile
requested. That
is, any URL request with WMS1_MAPFILE requires basic authentication.

Re: [mapserver-users] Mapserver Security
Problem with MS_MAPFILE_PATTERN is that if using it for the path part of a mapfile you could use back references to get elsewhere. I imagine it's possible to craft a regex that wouldn't allow '..' but it's not trivial (examples welcome!). Not allowing path'd mapfiles at all is more restrictive and is certainly a goal of mine now when setting apps up. I should add that we are very interested in security improvements so please let us know if you run into issues or have ideas!
