Local Web Services not displaying in JavaScript API

AdamSeamans1 — Wed, 29 Jul 2015 17:47:47 GMT

I have now been thrown into the role of a GIS Web Developer. All the previous experience I have had has been with the Flex API but since Microsoft is pulling the plug on that (someday?), my company wants to work in with the JavaScript API. I have next to no experience with this API. I have set up a simple application, which is essentially a copy paste rip off of the following app: Popup widget | ArcGIS API for JavaScript. I have worked through it and added my own local REST service to the application. The REST service is publicly facing but, for some reason, is not displaying on the map at all. The application itself loads, with the base map and everything. Just not my actual service. Can anyone offer any ideas as to why? I have attached the html code I have so far. Thanks.

Adam,

So far your GIS Server does not seem to be publicly exposed.

Hi Robert,

Then I must be missing something. I am able to hit our REST endpoint from devices outside our firewall. Granted, it is with an https connection.

Adam,

That is going to be an issue mixing http and https is not going to work. You will need to have all urls use one or the other.

Understood. I need to use https, so I changed the html to reflect that. Still having the same problem though. I readily admit that I am in uncharted waters for me.

Adam,

Is there some requirement for your ArcGIS Server to only be exposed using https?

Robert,

Honestly, not that I know of. That was how server was configured when I took over. Not really sure how to change it off of mixed mode.

Adam,

Hmm. that is an IT staff question.

Ok Robert, fair enough.

Just to recap and to make sure I understand, you believe the probblem of my service not displaying is because my ArcGIS Server protocol is set to mixed HTTP and HTTPS, correct? Switching it to, say, just HTTP or just HTTPS would alleviate this problem?

Adam,

Correct

Switched it over to just HTTP and am still having the same problem. Page loads but my local services do not.

Adam,

You are still having issue with your ArcGIS Server configuration.

This is what I get from your server.

The ArcGIS Web Adaptor has been configured with SSL/HTTPS. Please enable SSL/HTTPS for your ArcGIS Server Site.

Robert,

There is something else going on here that I am just not understanding. I think I need to take a step back and do some additional homework. Thanks for all of your help.

Adam,

It looks like your Web Adaptor is still set to use https.

Robert,

Yes, after I set it to HTTP and it didn’t work I set it back to mixed mode so I could keep my baseline set. With this configuration I can see services outside of our network, just not in the app I am trying to build. Once I figure out the exact steps I need to take I will make the switch again.

Adam, Thomas Colson put out a new blog post Summary of ArcGIS Server SSL Issues that has links to many of the SSL discussion on geonet....might help in your research.
