Help me Please! ArcMap can't open WMS from arcgis server

supermanbatman — Sun, 04 Sep 2016 10:53:30 GMT

i'm a gis beginner. i create wms service. and i set user & role to accessible. (user1)

when i open wms in arc map it's error "authentication token required"

i try read help document. use token

http://localhost:6080/arcgis/services/test_mapservice/MyMapService1/MapServer/WMSServer?token= 6o3bne5bR72Rix3emqUZm7jw8B9g4x4wzYXglgdsn4HzEUGtYOISvHib3ZpzBKgThtKtl_ormeoSU9VBfHM8QK-rNlR5BHSz2xTjdLUpKKETA2YN6ooP6rZW94fFT0CgIyiDG3e5CnFqzLfsxoMX-wWH0jm4VctU6M7XbKX9gmU.

but it's still error (can't access wms) how to remove token authentication.

Is it possible to turn off the token. To use user:password account only

thank you, everyone

You said you read this Connecting to GIS servers—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop and it didn't work?

Dan, I think that parameter/option was added in version 10.4, according to the help. Based on the poster's image, they are using an earlier version.

what about private, only to selected users... seems to be the only option for the version of software you are using

You can get a token from the GIS Server and append it to the end of your WMS URL, and not pass username/password. The issue is related to how ArcMap expects to access OGC - there's no provision in the OGC spec for Esri tokens, but there is for basic/digest auth (web tier authentication).

Yes, it works if you add an additional "token" parameter as part of the WMS parameters. Make sure to obtain the token from the correct endpoint (AGOL, Portal or Server). For ArcGIS Online or Portal, this is https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest or similar to https://www.example.com/portal/sharing/rest. For ArcGIS Server this is similar to https://www.example.com/arcgis/rest/services.
