Token for URL

Question

We have an OMS (outage management system), Pragma, that we want to consume secure Esri services. They have a URL with a token on the end in their config file. They application will then use this token for each call the to the Esri service.

So, the URL would look something like :

"https://our-server/server/rest/services/Testing/OMS/MapServer/tile/{0}/{2}/{1}/256/png8?token="

How do I go about creating this token?

You're welcome. I think that 15 days is the max expiration for Portal, which cannot be changed. requests for anything beyond 15 will fail, according to the documentation.

If it is a standalone server, you can modify the Token Configuration to set the Long Timeout (Max timeout length in minutes) using the REST Admin API

@TonyContreras_Frisco_TX  Thanks! That works. Any idea how I get it to last longer then two weeks?

If the server is federated with ArcGIS Portal, see the documentation here.

If it is standalone, check here.
