Accessing Secured OGC Services tomcat 499 error

Question

I have a multiple machine Arcgis Server (linux) instance up instance up. The site is secured via ssl/https (only), and pulls users from ldap. Roles are stored locally (will be switched over soon).

I recently started tooling around with some test services, and noticed that if i locked down services (restricted to certain roles), when i made calls to the WMS GetCapabilities() i received a tomcat 499 error (even when logged into the correct users/roles). This error really doesn't help me (it means something like client closed connection). The service can still be viewed using the default esri mapping, but WMS support is needed. Any ideas as to what would cause this?

Note: I Have the web adaptor installed (linux again), but am still using token based authentication (haven't worked out how to do web tier without IIS). The tomcat 499 error happens regardless of the web adapter being there or not (took a while to realize it was the arcgis internal server throwing the error) I am also Fairly new to Arcgis server, so I am hoping it is something obvious i have just overlooked.

Yes, I believe since the WMS service is an extension of the map service, if the map service is secure, the WMS service will also require a token.

Hi Jonathan,

We are using ArcGIS Server Authentication tier for security.  If this is the case, and we make any service private by securing it to a role, then does this mean any WMS request to this service requires a token?

Adding to what Mark said, 499 means "Token Required", so adding a token to the request should work.
