WMS with Authentication

Question

Hi,

I want to connect to a WMS Rest Service with a Basic Authentication but can not because I can not set the user credentials to access it.

When will this be possible? It seems that it was possible with WPF or Silverlight.

Greetings

Marvin

Hi

I have the same problem. Can´t find any Credentials property in the Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Layers.WmsLayer class in the ArcGis API for .NET. I have used wmsLayer in the API for WPF and there it can be found in the class ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Toolkit.DataSources.WmsLayer.

Regards

Jesper

Hi Justin,

thanks for the fast answer, but your link has no article.

I am trying to connect a client via the SDK and C# by defining a WMS Layer programmatically. Like :

var uri = new Uri(uristring);

var wmsLayer = new WmsLayer(uri);

await wmsLayer.InitializeAsync();

Map.Layers.Add(wmsLayer);

The missing part is the part to define the credentials, but actually there is no :

wmsLayer.Usercredentials ... or wmsLayer.Username, wmsLayer.Password

best regards,

Marvin

Hello Marvin,

I hope you are doing well. WMS should be compatible with Basic Authentication. Here is an article that explains it pretty well:

ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)

I hope that helps.

Thanks,

Justin
