Changing a service in a web map

KenBuja — Thu, 16 Feb 2017 20:20:59 GMT

I created a web map using a http service. The server was recently switched over to using https. Now when I examine the overview page for the map, the layer shows up with the http link (which, when I click on it, brings me to the https service). However, when I open the map, I get the error

Unable to establish a secure connection to the layer. The layer, Choptank River, cannot be added to the map.

I can still use this map in my Web Mapping Application and the data shows as expected. However, the Print widget fails with the error "Unable to connect to map service http://..."

Since I have put quite a bit of time into this map to configure the many popups, is there any way I can change the layer to its current https url? Or am I doomed to recreating the map and redoing all the popups?

Hello,

Currently ArcGIS Online does not have a built-in tool to do this. There are two tools developed by third parties which you could try:

ArcGIS Online Assistant

The ArcGIS Online Assistant did the trick! Thanks for pointing out this resource.

Ken, for future reference, there is a wiki that lists these and other AGOL admin tools, best practices, etc. worth bookmarking
