Hi i want to access my maps(private). in my application , but they always ask for the login credentials.

I want to make it accessible without login.

DO I need to add credential of username and password and token,

How to generate token in arcgis to pass in credentials, to access private map without login

I used this example to write the below code https://community.esri.com/message/908803-re-simple-app-with-private-webmap?commentID=908803#comment-908803 .

This is my code below:-

import QtQuick 2.6

import QtQuick.Controls 2.1

import QtQuick.Controls 1.4

import QtQuick.Layouts 1.1

import QtPositioning 5.3

import QtSensors 5.3

import ArcGIS.AppFramework 1.0

import ArcGIS.AppFramework.Controls 1.0

import Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Toolkit.Dialogs 100.1

import "assets/js/backend.js" as Backend

App{

    id: app

    width: 400

    height: 800

    property real scaleFactor: AppFramework.displayScaleFactor

    property string portalUrl: "https://arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/";

    property string itemID: "mymapid"

    //header bar

    Rectangle {

        id: titleRect

        anchors {

            left: parent.left

            right: parent.right

            top: parent.top

        height: 50 * AppFramework.displayScaleFactor

        color: app.info.propertyValue("titleBackgroundColor", "red")

        Text {

            id: titleText

            anchors.centerIn: parent

            text: app.info.title

            color: app.info.propertyValue("titleTextColor", "white")

            font {

            elide: Text.ElideRight

            horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter

    }//End Rectangle header

    MapView {

        id:mapView

        property real initialMapRotation: 0

        anchors {

            left: parent.left

            right: parent.right

            top: titleRect.bottom

            bottom: parent.bottom

        rotationByPinchingEnabled: true

        zoomByPinchingEnabled: true

    // add a basemap

    Map {

        id:map

        item: PortalItem {

            portal: portal

            itemId: itemID

        //initUrl: portalUrl + itemID

    }//End Mapview

    //! [PortalUserInfo create portal]

    Portal {

        id: portal

        credential: Credential {

            oAuthClientInfo: OAuthClientInfo {

                oAuthMode: Enums.OAuthModeUser

                clientId: "myclientid" //replace

        Component.onCompleted: {

            load();

            //fetchLicenseInfo();

        onLoadStatusChanged: {

            if (loadStatus === Enums.LoadStatusFailedToLoad)

                retryLoad();

Generate Token—ArcGIS REST API | ArcGIS for Developers

do this work in my example??

I am very confused. Please help. As accessing these private maps will be done by multipse users of our app, so it need to be used without login.

Any help is appreciable

Rajni,

You can try hard-coding the username and password to create the Credentials object based on this ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Qt‌ documentation page, Credential QML Type | ArcGIS for Developers

Thank you,

Hi Erwin,

i have already tried the same, but it still asks for the username and pwd. So i used a temporary access token from ArcGIS for Developers and it worked. But i don't know how to generate oauth token programatically to pass in credentials for different users. If you could help please give any example of how to generate token to pass in my credentials.

 //! [PortalUserInfo create portal]

    Portal {

        id: portal

        credential: Credential {
               token: "my temporary developer dashboard access token"

               oAuthClientInfo: OAuthClientInfo {

                oAuthMode: Enums.OAuthModeUser

                clientId: "myclientid" //replace

        Component.onCompleted: {

            load();

            //fetchLicenseInfo();

        onLoadStatusChanged: {

            if (loadStatus === Enums.LoadStatusFailedToLoad)

                retryLoad();

Rajni,

I want to point out that you can also use the proxy services to make this work, here is the documentation on how to set it up, Working with Proxy Services | ArcGIS for Developers

This is the documentation on how to generate a token, Generate Token—ArcGIS REST API | ArcGIS for Developers, in AppStudio you can use the NetworkRequest component from AppFramework or XMLHttpRequest in javascript to make a request to REST endpoint.

This is the documentation on NetworkRequest component in AppFramework, NetworkRequest QML Type | ArcGIS

You can follow the sample called Nearby, it has a simple enough Network Manager class that you can copy from, arcgis-appstudio-samples/NetworkManager.qml at fd2e133089b189f3308de210612c3802d474f62b · Esri/arcgis-appstudio-samples …

Thank you,

Erwin
