URL Parameter : token

GuillaumeArnaud — Wed, 28 Apr 2021 15:08:48 GMT

I want to use an app generate by ExperienceBuilder in an iframe where user is auth. I try to add a "token" URL Parameter to get an automatic login to a non public app (with non public webmap). With a webappbuilder app I write <appurl>?token=<token>. This syntax doesn't work with experience builder.

Is there a mean to do that ?

thanks

Guillaume

I am struggling to do the same with the operations dashboard. My local customer service doesn't know how to do, ESRI Inc. doesn't know how to do.

I believe this is not possible and it is a HUGE limitation because in the real world many arcgis online subscriptors would like to speed up their web application development taking advantage of configurable apps (exp builder, dashboard...) but they need to "deploy" them in other environments than arcgis online.

ESRI, please, provide us with the "token" URL Parameter

Another option would be to have the possibility to release public content with a sort of secure URL, not indexed and available only if you type it correctly end entirely in the browser (i.e. google drive). In this way we can embed "securely" our agol applications inside other portals.

ESRI, are you there?

Also interested in a resolution to this, where allowing any form of 'public' access is not on the table.

Unfortunately, we do not have the token parameter yet. We are monitoring the request and evaluating enhancement possibilities based on the feedback. Also, you can post it to the Experience Builder Ideas channel where we evaluate enhancement possibilities based on the feedback.

Thank you for bringing this up.

I posted both the option in Dashboard Ideas.
Evaluating a token is what happens under the hood if you look at network requests in the browser dev tools. It shouldn't be a big deal to allow a pre-generated token to be passed through querystring

Hi,

is there any update or workaround for this?

is App credential authentication can be use to view eXB with token generated?

@TonghuiMing Any update on this?

The sso REST endpoint supports it, so this could work:

https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/oauth2/authorize/sso?redirect_uri=https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/{appID}&client_id=experienceBuilder&canHandleCrossOrgSignin=true&token=xxx

Re: URL Parameter : token

AlessioDiLorenzo — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 06:19:52 GMT

Is it valid for operations dashboard also?

BethLott — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 20:52:33 GMT

Can you confirm that the SSO REST endpoint with the experience.arcgis.com URL works, vs "could work"? We have a similar requirement for an application that cannot be public.

Is this token parameter scheduled for near future? This capability is very necessary to provide access to Experience Builder applications using secure GIS components without portal login credentials and access to these components by clients.

Is there a working alternative solution you can provide us? SSO is not always available to set up and not sure this was ever proven as a solution. We need this functionality and have been asking for it since 2020. What is Esri's response to this?

Re: URL Parameter : token

TomPattison1 — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 00:27:30 GMT

Anyone get this working? Really need a solution here.

Re: URL Parameter : token

TomPattison1 — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 00:29:18 GMT

I totally agree or at least a step-by-step workaround way through this. Huge limitation!

Re: URL Parameter : token

TomPattison1 — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 00:35:16 GMT

Doesn't this still require credentials login for ArcGIS Online? Need way to handle credentials behine the scene like we could with Web Application Builder. What is Esri's response to this?

Also desperate for a solution to this - this is a major limitation. ESRI support has also not been able to provide any suggestions, outside of making the app and data public (obviously not a viable option).

I've also looked into Dashboards and Instant Apps - neither of them are able to do this either. I'm really trying, but it's impossible to move away from WAB at this point.

Any updates on this, also need the same use case to allow a token to be used.

Re: URL Parameter : token

DaniIsenegger — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 10:40:53 GMT

Same for us. In order to migrate from WAB app to ExB, the possibility to authenticate using a token is mandatory

Re: URL Parameter : token

AlessioDiLorenzo — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 11:28:55 GMT

Not working. It redirects to the arcgis online login page.

The idea is granting the access to a secured resource (an experience, for example) behind the scene to users that are not registered to arcgis online, through the token.

Any update on this- we are experiencing the same issues as everyone else in this thread.
