Channel.Security.Error from ArcGIS Sever MapManager

ThomasMcCracken — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:04:12 GMT

Hi everyone,

I get an error window when I open my Flex Viewer application that says:

"Layername layer failed to load: Fault code: Channel.Security.Error
Fault info: Security error accessing url
Fault details: Destination: DefaultHTTP

The crossdomain.xml is on the GIS and web server and is correct. In fact, another
GIS Server with the exact same crossdomain.xml brings in the service in the app just fine. I tested using both SOAP and REST services and get the same result. I also get the same error from my local web client on my machine rather than the web server so I'm not sure what's going on. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Thomas,

Can you actually get the crossdomain.xml file to display in your web browser when you use it's url in the address bar?

http://YourServer/crosdomain.xml

Yes, it shows up when I type in the URL.

Thomas,

So does the ArcGIS Server have security enabled?

Re: Channel.Security.Error from ArcGIS Sever MapManager

ThomasMcCracken — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:41:18 GMT

No, the security is disabled as well. I can't make any sense of it!

Have you found a solution to this, I am running into the same problem even after setting the crossdomain security policy to false

No, I haven't found a solution yet. I'm setting up ArcGIS Server on another server with IT now to see what results we get. We tested with another internal server before with someone else's services and they came in fine. We also tried using mxd's and msd's and got the same result with both. SOAP/REST didn't matter either. If I figure anything out I'll post it, but as of now I haven't a clue.

So guys,

When you type the REST URL of one of your map services in the address bar of your browser does it bring up the REST Service Directory?

i.e. http://gislap134/ArcGIS/rest/services/highway/MapServer (do not use local host and you can not mix and match IP addresses and machine names).

Yes, I can get to the rest endpoint and the services work within ArcMap/Catalog.

Re: Channel.Security.Error from ArcGIS Sever MapManager

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:43:30 GMT

Thomas,

actually the fact that it works in ArcMap and ArcCatalog has little relevance as they both use SOAP and not the REST endpoint.
So you are not using localhost and you are not specifying the IP address in one place and the server name in another, such as IP in the crossdomain and servername in the url for the layer?

Re: Channel.Security.Error from ArcGIS Sever MapManager

ThomasMcCracken — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:05:50 GMT

That's right. We use the server name and the crossdomain policy has the * wildcard.

I did not realize that about ArcMap/Catalog. That's good to know, thanks.

Thomas,

The last thing that I suggest before telling you to call esri tech support is you can try a HTTP traffic utility like fiddler to watch for what URL requests are not returning.

ThomasMcCracken — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:20:44 GMT

Thanks. It's worth a shot; if I find anything I'll make sure to post it.

Fiddler is indicating issues with the crossdomain file, this error seems to only occur on access from an external domain but affects access to a seemingly random set of services within the map

Replaced the crossdomain file with a new one with security = false and the issue seems to stop for a set amount of time but reoccurs

Re: Channel.Security.Error from ArcGIS Sever MapManager

ThomasMcCracken — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:46:34 GMT

How are you setting the security equal to false in the crossdomain xml file? Is it a tag within cross-domain policy? Does it work for all your web services or just random ones?

After setting Secure='false' for both domain and headers my services are now working in the viewer perfectly.

Please mention the path for The crossdomain.xml file. where to past it and also mention it will be on the server machine or on all other hosts machines.

Secondly from where I can get The crossdomain.xml file because it is not available in my flex viewer 2.5.

Thanks...

Bakht Ali Mohammad Khan,

The crossdomain.xml needs to be one the machine that has ArcGIS Server on it.

Find info concerning crossdomain.xml in the documentation:

rscheitlin Thanks you for response.
Please still some problem to me.
My web files are located in : C:\inetpub\wwwroot
My Machine name is GISSERVER.
I am using .NET.
My ip is 192.165.4.100
   other systems 101, 102, 103.
The cross-domain.xml file is as....

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
    <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
    <allow-access-from domain="*"/>
</cross-domain-policy>    ( please clearly mark what I write here allow-access-from domain="*">
</cross-domain-policy>

Thanks..

Bakht Ali Mohammad Khan,

As the link i my last post has all you need is :

<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"> <cross-domain-policy>     <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>     <allow-access-from domain="*"/> </cross-domain-policy>

The above needs to be in a file names crossdomain.xml (not cross-domain.xml) in your C:\inetpub\wwwroot folder. That is it.
