Aquiring Token

JuneAcosta — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 20:29:22 GMT

I have been spending too much time trying to create a token for my services with no success. Im hoping I can get the help I need from this forum since the ESRI Analyst that has helped me seemed just as confused.

Here's my scenario:

I have ArcGIS server 10.1 SP 1 running on Amazon EC2 within a VPC(virtual private cloud).

I have a customized version of the arcgis online simple map viewer (JSAPI)

The IP address is 10.0.244.20- this is what I use to RDP to the instance (JSAPI)

http://gismaps/roadmap/index.html

http://gismaps.carlsbadca.gov/roadmap/index.html

Both gismaps and gismaps.carlsbadca.gov are pointers to 10.0.244.20

I tried using both the arcgis account and the AGS admin account for the token and had no luck

     webmap.itemData = {
          "operationalLayers": [
    {
      "url": "http://10.0.244.20/arcgis/rest/services/publicAGS/trafficStatus/MapServer/1",
      "id": "trafficStatusMobile_5116",
      "visibility": true,
      "opacity": 1,
      "title": "Carlsbad Boundary"
    },
 {
    "url": "http://10.0.244.20/arcgis/rest/services/publicAGS/trafficStatus/MapServer/0",
    //"id": "trafficStatusMobile_6847",
    "visibility": true,
    "opacity": 1,
    "mode": 1,
    "title": "Road Maintenance",

I need a 1 year token

http://10.0.244.20/arcgis/rest/services/publicAGS/trafficStatus/

Do I create the token from my desktop or from the Amazon instance?

Do I use HTTP Referer? IP Address? or IP address of this request's origin? If I use http Referer, what's the syntax for http referer:?

Yes I saw this documentation, and followed the outline, but still no luck with creating a token that works.

Thanks for your response.

how you have create a token?
Have you use ip , Referer, request ip?
Where do you use token : in a proxy?

I have tried to use all 3. Im using thru a proxy page, but even if I test the token in a browser by appending it to the rest URL it fails.

where you do store user/roles arcgis server ?
when you do generate with HTTP Referer what do you write in textbox?

Re: Aquiring Token

JuneAcosta — Wed, 15 May 2013 14:24:20 GMT

User Store and Role Store are using ArcGIS Server Built-in.

For Http Referer I uses: http://10.0.244.20

from browser do you do a request kind: http://10.0.244.20/arcgis/rest/services/publicAGS/trafficStatus/MapServer/1...with token and have you problem?

Re: Aquiring Token

JuneAcosta — Wed, 15 May 2013 14:55:54 GMT

Yes I tested the token like this..

http://10.0.244.20/arcgis/rest/services/publicAGS/trafficStatus/Mapserver?token=_t9tqPaLDyZjyIMqDk_RmMKT_MXC_dv8Wy2ozYE17w74h4tPLzQ_sXrc7lD8a-au

but I still get the login window. I put in the username and password and it works, so I know that the login Im using to create the token is valid.

can you generate token with httreferer http://nameofmachine and try in browser with http://nameofmachine/arcgis/rest/servi....?token=...

Re: Aquiring Token

JuneAcosta — Thu, 16 May 2013 12:45:07 GMT

I created the token with http referer and still got the login window with the new token. My incident with ESRI has been escalated and someone has finally contacted me. I hope I can get this resolved today. Of course, If you have other ideas, by all means let me know so I can try it.

Have you tried to set in proxy a dynamic token?

in a tech support call June and i were able to identify that she already had a valid long-term token stored in her proxy which allowed her to successfully retrieve secure content.

http://webserver/proxy/proxy.ashx?http://otherserver/arcgis/rest/services/Secure/MapServer

The reason she couldn't see her secure layer in her web app (based on ArcGIS Online "Basic Viewer" template) was because of this line in App.js

esri.config.defaults.io.alwaysUseProxy = false;

Setting this property to true is a convenient request to force ALL the web traffic spawned by the application through the proxy (allowing the retrieval of secure content). check out the following article for more information on different ways of working with secure services in JS applications.
