Adding a secured ArcIMSMapServiceLayer to the sample flex viewer

Question

Having some difficulty using a secured arcIMS service in the default flex viewer. I made the changes to the ConfigManager and MapManager to handle arcIMS services. The layer shows up, however it prompts for a username and password even though I put those in the config.xml and handle those properties in the connection.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I'll try this see if it works. Unfortunatly the latest 2.1 viewer doesn't support secured ArcIMS services either. I'll need to figure out a proxy if the wms trick doesn't work.

The source is using basic authentication. It's the WeatherBug® GIS Data Services I'm trying to use. I can add the serivice into a default map application in server and have no problems so this is a flex app problem I can't find the problem.

I'll attach a text file with what changes I made to the flex viewer. Maybe someone will see what I'm missing.

you can rehost the IMS weather service from weather bug as a wms. This method only seems to work in 1.3 sfv though no luck with 2.x. Load the feed into an mxd or msd and publish as wms.

I've narrowed this down to a network problem, which makes this even more difficult to track down the problem.
