Dear Ravi,

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried this but no luck. Clicking on the cancel button after a few
login attempts shows "The specified username is invalid"

This is the same with the Administrator and the user that I have given
access in server->Properties->Authorization->"WMS Publishing Points > ACL
Authorization.

Is Push: * the right location to set on the publishing point or do I have to
use some other values with this example?

Cheers

Matt
