WMS Security

Question

I have secured MapService with WMS capabilities enabled that I'm trying to consume through the ArcGIS Javascript API. I have a proxy set up with credentials but anytime I run the application the WMS layer never loads, it throws this error insteasd: "Unable to determine the correct URL to request a token to access private resources".

Has anyone successfully consumed a secured WMS service with the Javascript api?

KCC GIS_Team,

I don't work with secure WMS services myself, but based on the original posters info that it sounds like the WMS service has a spcific url or url param that is needed to request the token. The proxies tokenServiceUri can be added just for this purpose.

Robert,

This is the first time we have used a WMS service, currently we only specify matchAll=true and the username and password in the proxy entry - what is the format of the attribute that specifies the token service uri ?

Kcc GIS_Team,

What is the url that you use to normally validate/receive a token from when using your secured WMS Service/ In setting up your proxy you define the tokenServiceUri property on the serverUrl entry.
