Unable to connect to ArcGIS Enterprise Portal via python

MOLLEAmélie — Sun, 15 Nov 2020 11:19:40 GMT

Hello all,

I am trying to make a connection to our secured Portal using the following code of ArcGIS API for Python:

from arcgis.gis import GIS gis = GIS(portal, user, password)

I use ArcGIS Pro 2.4.2 with Python 3.6.8. The authentication schemes used with our portal is the Built-in users
I succeed in connecting to arcgis online.

Following the error message :

Traceback (most recent call last):

Looks like your URL could be wrong.

Something like

portal = r"https://dave.geo.com/portal/home"

Thanks for your answer. I tried to use your solution and same error... Could this be a certificate problem ? Our portal is installed on a very secured network.

Or maybe a conflict with another application ? ( I recently installed QGIS 3)
This worked as expected with a previous version of ArcGIS pro (but without any QGIS installed)

It is highly unlikely that having QGIS and Pro on the same machine makes a difference.

HTTP 503 errors usually indicate something is going on with the server and not the client. Since you have done this in the past and it worked, it may be something is partially broken with your on-premises Portal. I would contact the group that manages it.

Thanks for your answer.
The weird thing is that logging in to our portal using ArcGIS Pro works as expected. I managed to publish and update the hosted feature layers without any issues. Likewise, I manage to use the rest API with Firefox.

There's some certificate/PKI stuff you can specify also in GIS(..

but well out of my depth there, good luck!

Thanks David for your help but I have already tested this solution without any success 😞

Didn't find a solution yet but this seems to work as expected with the previous version of arcgis pro python library. I'am waiting for the next version.
