Anyone ever figure out a workaround for this? When we add new features, then republish...the webmap doesn't update. Adding/Removing services in the webmap gets old as discussed above due to losing labels, popups, etc configurations. Any update would be appreciated! Using Portal, not AGOL.

We have migrated to ArcGIS Portal to enable Active Directory Authentication. The issue i am having is that we use basic whiteboard tools that allow us to create basic features on a map and have been doing so for the past 10 years. This gives us the ability to save features in SQL and host the data on the viewer. The problem i am facing now is that when using portal it forces me to make those a named user/creator to make changes. This is a huge problem for my business as we need many licenses for something that is so basic and elementary to any project web viewer. We are not using these license for Collector apps or anything field related. For that i would understand the higher cost per license, but for something so basic I am confused. Is there something i am overlooking? I am obviously not going to be unethical and create 1 creator user id and pass that identity on through internal sites, but surely this wasn't ESRI's intentions. Can someone please assist if they know a better way of doing this while remaining completely compliant?

Hi Joel, Thank you for your response. I would like to try and add AGO through collaboration if possible. There is so much content that my customers are using it would be pretty difficult to always be adding directly to portal. If there was a way we could just have access to both it would be great. There isn't any documentation that i could find that would properly explain how to add ArcGIS Online to an existing portal site. Thanks, Garrett

Is there an appropriate place to post a job description in the forums? I believe finding the right candidate may be within the ESRI Developer forums but i do not want to violate any rules. Please advise.

I was looking for a quick solution to access public data through ArcGIS Online while connected to a local portal site. Right now i use portal but when i want to search for public data it only sees local organizational data. I like to pull in basemap data and environmental data all the time. My current solution is to close arcmap, open arcgis administrator, and reconnect to arcgis online. I am essentially closing everything and toggling between local portal and AGO. I was hoping for a simple solution to keep all my information in portal secure and still have the flexibility to access the publicly available data in AGO. I would assume this could be done through "Allow Portal Access" or "Collaborations". I can't imagine this not really being an option.

It's been awhile since I looked at the widget. The first time I ran through the install it would show up in the WAB but would freeze the entire page. "I think" what i did to fix it was silly, but it worked. I just changed the code from "visible": true to "visibile": false. Now when I create new webapps it shows up grayed out. I click the eye icon to make it visible and it works every time now. No explanation to why that works, but it worked for me and I have used it on at least 10 different applications with different themes using WAB 2.8 with no issues.

As always, thank you Robert for taking the time to review and answer my question!

We have over 100+ sites published to 8 AGS's. The sites that are hosting SDE and/or Geodatservices never change. We simply load data and use definition queries to limit feature layers. For this it works perfectly. As for the line of work, we are an engineering service company and have many GIS Specialists updating/managing sites throughout the organization. Our engineers and project managers will ask during meetings to update the viewer with new data from KMZ or CAD files (expected turnaround 10-20 minutes). We have really spoiled these guys and they demand instant access. The short version is that this data is converted and added to the service, thus causing all these problems. And really, it's not a huge problem, it's an easy fix. It just causes a lot of extra work for myself and our GIS developer as we have limited access (for other GIS users) to such tools and we have to be the ones responsible for fixing these issues. It would be a fantastic option to have LocalLayer reread the dynamic rest service and mimic the service. The service rarely ever matches what was published in the MXD (Hide Layers, etc.) I can easily open LL and let it reread the service and then copy and paste the "hide layers" in the locallayer for the app in WAB and then paste those into the live site fixing the problem. I was just hoping this was already an option that i was overlooking.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to have WAB automatically update dynamic services? Right now when we overwrite an existing service with updated features we have to go back into web appbuilder reload the service to get the latest changes. Then we have to rehide layers based on the updated layers in the map (mxd). This breaks the popups configured, layer list, queries, searches, and attribute table (not all the time, randomly). So i simply open locallayer to refresh the latest changes published (rest services). Then i have to go and verify that each of the previously mentioned tools functions correctly in WAB. Then i go to the WAB install directory server->apps-> app number and copy the widget configs for each one over the configuration we are using on our IIS web server. I sure was hoping there was an easier way to have WAB automatically reread the latest changes in the rest services. Any input would be greatly appreciated.robert scheitlin

There is a new release of the LocalLayer widget and it works as advertised!

Thanks Adam, works great for me in WAB 2.8!

Thank you, i found that publishing to my federated ArcGIS Server solved my problem. So simple, i was publishing to a non federated! Thanks for the help.

So i have configured Portal with Active Directory using the link/code below: Use Integrated Windows Authentication with your portal—Portal for ArcGIS (10.6) | ArcGIS Enterprise { "type": "WINDOWS", "properties": { "userPassword": "secret", "isPasswordEncrypted": "false", "user": "mydomain\\winaccount", "userFullnameAttribute": "cn", "userEmailAttribute": "mail", "caseSensitive": "false" } } This works for me with a small catch. When update "mydomain\\winaccount" i would really like it to be like my "full" AD user account. It will not let me save here "mydomain.com\\username" only "mydomain\\username". Our accounts are recognized but the FQDN is username@domain.com. Everytime someone gets to log into portal it screws them up because they are so use to always using ".com". My hope is that i can actually register the full userid and thus portal will recognize the account and not require a login. Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kade

Is there a way to load my existing web appbuilder applications into my own local portal? I see the option within portal to create a new application using web appbuilder, but i wanted to import an existing application that was previously created with custom widgets. The main goal is to use portal/Active directory to secure the web application.

‎05-11-2018

Thanks for the quick response, I am going to give that a try. Did you reference 2.5 or 2.4?
