MapServer via https?

JimMichael

Is there an https implementation of the MapServer? We are using ESRI hosted map server and geometry functions to draw on rendered maps. We would like to be able to retrieve via https so as not to get security warnings on client systems. Is this possible?

We should have a contact. I'll have someone look into it. Thanks again.

Did you get an answer?

Someone told me that I could not have an arcgis silverlight app that consumes both https map services and http map services.
I don't believe this is true.
Can someone clarify?

I'm not sure as I don't use those services. Tech support would know and should be able to give you a quick answer. Can you contact them?

JimMichael

Is there an equivalent geometry server under premiumtasks.arcgisonline.com with https implemented?

JimMichael

Ah, OK. Thank you for the clarification.

If I understand correctly we should be able to simply replace all the http: with https:, correct?

For the base maps on arcgisonline.com, yes. For the geometry service on sampleserver3, no because sample server 3 does not have a SSL cert.

Sorry, it's been a few months since I worked on this. Code snippets below. If I understand correctly we should be able to simply replace all the http: with https:, correct?

      map = new esri.Map("map");
      var layer = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://server.arcg
isonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer");
      map.addLayer(layer);
      map.setExtent(esri.geometry.geographicToWebMercator(new esri.geometry.Exte
nt(xMin, yMin, xMax, yMax, new esri.SpatialReference({wkid: 4326}))));
      gsvc = new esri.tasks.GeometryService("http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.c
om/ArcGIS/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer");
      dojo.connect(map, "onLoad", doAll);

    function doAll() {
        drawLine(Xref,Yref,Xloc,Yloc);
        var x = Xloc;
        var y = Yloc;
        var dist = <%=radius%>;
        color = RED;
        drawCircle(x,y,dist,color);
        x = Xref;
        y = Yref;
        color = BLUE;
        dist = <%=refRadius%>;
        drawCircle(x,y,dist,color);
    }
    function drawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2) {
      var p1 = new esri.geometry.Point(x1, y1, new esri.SpatialReference({wkid:4
326}));
      var p2 = new esri.geometry.Point(x2, y2, new esri.SpatialReference({wkid:4
326}));
      var geographicGeometry = new esri.geometry.Polyline(new esri.SpatialRefere
nce({wkid:4326}));
      geographicGeometry = geographicGeometry.addPath([p1,p2]);
      var mapGeometry = esri.geometry.geographicToWebMercator(geographicGeometry
);
      var symbol = new esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol
.STYLE_SOLID, new dojo.Color([255, 0, 0]), 3);
      var graphic = new esri.Graphic(mapGeometry ,symbol);
      map.graphics.add(graphic);
    }

    function drawCircle(x,y,dist) {
      var params = new esri.tasks.BufferParameters();
      var myPoint = new esri.geometry.Point(x, y, new esri.SpatialReference({wki
d: 4326}) );
      params.geometries = [ myPoint ];
      params.distances = [ dist ];
      params.unit = esri.tasks.GeometryService.UNIT_KILOMETER;
      params.outSpatialReference = map.spatialReference;
      gsvc.buffer(params, showBuffer);

    }

ArcGIS Online is a web app that provides services (basemaps, geometry, geocoding, routing) while ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer is a class in the API. The former is set up with use https/SSL while the latter uses whatever you give it (it's up to you to specify a service that uses SSL).

For the geometry operations, if you're drawing shapes, that's all done client side and https isn't part of the equation. Did I misunderstand what you're doing?

JimMichael

Yes, we're using ArcGisOnline, specifically ArcGISTiledMapService. I think they were successful in getting the maps to render but the geometry tasks (drawing circles & lines) were not. I'll have a look at your example. Thank you.

Using https is dependent on the server hosting the map services, not the map services themselves. You can use ArcGIS Online services (and the JS API via https), here's an example I put together a while back: https://servicesbeta.esri.com/demos/https/basemap-gallery.html
