Access federated MapServer from Portal

Question

Hi,

I use a federated Arcgis Server in an Portal and I do see all the services appearing in the content directory of the portal. I noticed that the service url for each service points directly to the Arcgis Server (ex: https://arcgisserver/arcgis/rest/services/myservice/MapServer), is it normal ?

Then I have created an application in the portal. I use this app to do app login to get an authentication token.

Ex: https://SERVER/portal/sharing/rest/oauth2/token?client_id=CLIENTIDgrant_type=client_credentials&client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET

The /token works fine. However, if I use the token I got to query my Arcgis Service (ex: https://SERVER/arcgis/rest/services/SERVICE/MapServer?f=json&token=...), I got an invalid token error.

Is there something specific to do so that I can access the MapServer with a token from the portal ?

Thanks for your help!

did someone resolve it?
I have the same problem. The federeate service are stored in portal with the url of the arcgis server so the token optained with clientid and secret with portal web app doesn't work.

{
"error": {
"code": 498,
"message": "Invalid Token",
"details": []
}
}

i think this is the ags answer.

Same configuration with a no federated server and it working.

someone can help me?

thanks for the reply - I've used that before - however that is for WebApps and limiting access. works basically like a reverse proxy to block everything except a list of URLs

In this case I'm using a desktop based app to sync data to a locally stored gdb via REST - little bit different.
I've submitted a ticket to ESRI support so lets see what they say - will post result if they can solve it.

Apparently there is a workaround that consists in storing the credentials for a specific service :

I didn't have a chance to test that solution though.
