Using tokens with secured services

ToddFagin — Thu, 20 Jun 2019 19:46:35 GMT

I typically like to include a bit of self-deprecation in my varied GeoNet posts and this will be no different. I have no idea what I am doing.

Short version: I have several services published to ArcGIS Server. Because these are potentially publicly available to anyone with knowledge of the service URL, I decided to secure certain services. Nonetheless, I want to be able to use these in web maps I am developing with the JS API and do so in a manner in which a user doesn't need to login to view the map.

After doing some reading, I have concluded (perhaps erroneously), that using tokens is the way to go.

In order to do so, I followed the steps at this useful site.

I went to http://gisserver.domain.com:6080/arcgis/tokens (obviously, to my server...)
I entered a user name, password, and selected HTTP Referer
For the HTTP Referer, I entered the URL of the page from which the request is being made (the html page with the web map)
I set expiration and format
I generated the token

Once generated, I appended the generated token to the URL of the requested service (for example):

var heritage = new FeatureLayer({
url: "https://gisserver.domain.com:6443/arcgis/rest/services/ONHI/Heritage_EOs/MapServer/1?mnGTVoAhrbV0nEJOuR8G9Ps2noCClcwazQPsJ8spdOIBXpZnSCo_XW7kclwiM47MGfuOj4jvqdv9mGWgmj3snftaQ4sBehRiC2W9AqxrGvyaKECttAbp694lfOtXhi3nshOnoAQpeJCx2LWyJK2g6CfbxHwbZnw6sR3TmR7f0c-C0Ngv9Q0POHrM8ReqyCgb"
});

However, when I launch the page, I am still being prompted to enter the user name and password to access the service.

Again, allow me to repeat, I have no idea what I am doing. In all likelihood, I have gone about this completely wrong. Maybe there is a better way to do this; maybe I am making a really basic beginners error; maybe both of those are correct.

Regardless, I would like to solve this issue and your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Todd,

I would suggest that you take a look here: Access ArcGIS token-secured web services—ArcGIS Server Administration (Windows) | ArcGIS Enterprise

Hey Todd,

In the url you've provided for your featurelayer, you've forgot to add the url param-key.

var  heritage = new FeatureLayer({
          url: "https://gisserver.domain.com:6443/arcgis/rest/services/ONHI/Heritage_EOs/MapServer/1?token=mnGTVoAhrbV0nEJOuR8G9Ps2noCClcwazQPsJ8spdOIBXpZnSCo_XW7kclwiM47MGfuOj4jvqdv9mGWgmj3snftaQ4sBehRiC2W9AqxrGvyaKECttAbp694lfOtXhi3nshOnoAQpeJCx2LWyJK2g6CfbxHwbZnw6sR3TmR7f0c-C0Ngv9Q0POHrM8ReqyCgb"
});‍‍‍‍‍‍
