When you open a map that was created in Release 5.0 or earlier, it is a good idea to reselect the coordinate system to ensure that you take advantage of any fixes that were made in this release. By reselecting the coordinate system, you update the map projection with the new information in this release. You use the Coordinate System tab of the Map Window Properties dialog box to specify a coordinate system. For step-by-step instructions, choose Help Contents, click the Index tab, and look up "coordinate systems, specifying." Specifying a Password to Protect a Map Help Index passwords setting for maps You can secure your maps by assigning passwords to them. Using passwords prevents other Autodesk MapGuide Author users from opening a proprietary Internet-published map and accessing the information stored in its MWF file. When you assign a password to a map, users must enter the correct password each time they open the map. Warning Don't forget your password! Autodesk MapGuide Author has no mechanism for accessing passwords, so assign them thoughtfully and record them in a secure location. You use the Security tab of the Map Window Properties dialog box to specify a password for a map. For step-by-step instructions, choose Help Contents, click the Index tab, and look up "passwords, setting for maps." Note You can also secure your maps by assigning access control keys to each layer. For information about doing this, see "Specifying Security for Layers" on page 173. Furthermore, you can assign access keys and passwords to the resources themselves, so that all maps that use those resources require an access key or password. See "Using Autodesk MapGuide Security" on page 51 and "Managing Server Security" on page 80 for more information. Specifying a Password to Protect a Map | 145
