Geoprocessing Authentication in Web App Builder (Developer Edition)

Question

Hi Everyone,

I would like some help or guidance on how to force authentication when using my Geoprocessing service in a web application.

Breakdown :

1. I have secured my Geoprocessing Service in ArcGIS Server with token based authentication

2. Configured my proxy and config file for the application

3. However when i use my Geoprocessing widget in my web application it automatically authenticated my user          credentials that I've setup in my proxy config file. Its my understand (under correction) by using a proxy i can bypass      a secured service, however my application are viewed and accessed by a wide audience and therefore i want to        secure only my Geoprocessing widget for a  certain group of users accessing my web application.

Ashley,

What happens if you also remove the rule from your apps main config.json file too? I would expect that it would not fail and would just challenge the user for their credentials.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for replying so quickly to my post.

The following is a indication of my current configuration

1. WAB Application

1.1 config.json

"wabVersion": "2.6",

"isTemplateApp": true,

"isWebTier": false,

"httpProxy": {

"useProxy": true,

"alwaysUseProxy": false,

"url": "",

"rules":[

{"urlPrefix":"https://machine.domain.gov.za/adapter/rest/services/GeoServices/Click20/GPServer/IntersectionTool",

"proxyUrl":"https://machine.domain.gov.za/DotNet/proxy.ashx"

}

]

1.2 proxy.config

for my GP Service in my proxy.config as you

suggested and my Geoprocessing Widget still shows in my WAB Application,

however it totally fails to execute

If i double click on my "urlPrefix" ,I'm redirected to

"https://machine.domain.gov.za/adapter

(

https://machine.domain.gov.za/adapter/rest/services/GeoServices/Click20/GPServer/IntersectionTool)

/rest/login?redirect=https%3A//https://machine.domain.gov.za/adapter/rest/services/GeoServices/Click20/GPServer/IntersectionTool"

where it prompts me for authentication, which the same behavior i want

in the WAB Application.

Any more advice would be much appreciated

What I'm trying to achieve is to NOT have this Geoproccesing Service accessible to everyone in my General WAB Application but only for users that have a credentials to sign into it.I removed the <serverUrl> for my GP Service in my proxy.config as you suggested and my Geoprocessing Widget still shows in my WAB Application, however it totally fails to executeIf i double click  on my "urlPrefix" ,I'm redirected to "https://machine.domain.gov.za/arcgis/rest/services/GeoServices/Click20/GPServerhttps://machine.domain.gov.zahttps://machine.domain.gov.za/adapter/rest/services/GeoServices/Click20/GPServer/IntersectionTool/adapter/rest/login?redirect=https%3A//https://machine.domain.gov.za/adapter/rest/services/GeoServices/Click20/GPServer/IntersectionTool"where it prompts me for authentication, which the same behavior i want in the WAB Application.Any more advice would be much appreciatedGIS : Greetings
