Geoprocessing Authentication in Web App Builder (Developer Edition)

AshleyGahl — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 12:02:07 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I would like some help or guidance on how to force authentication when using my Geoprocessing service in a web application.

Breakdown :

1. I have secured my Geoprocessing Service in ArcGIS Server with token based authentication

2. Configured my proxy and config file for the application

3. However when i use my Geoprocessing widget in my web application it automatically authenticated my user credentials that I've setup in my proxy config file. Its my understand (under correction) by using a proxy i can bypass a secured service, however my application are viewed and accessed by a wide audience and therefore i want to secure only my Geoprocessing widget for a certain group of users accessing my web application.

Ashley,

If you want your GP to not authenticate then you need to remove that serverUrl from your proxy.config file. Or if you just have a very broad url that covers your whole server in the proxy.config have it more defined to the other urls that you want to go through the proxy and urls that would not include the GP service.

What I'm trying to achieve is to NOT have this Geoproccesing Service accessible to everyone in my General WAB Application but only for users that have a credentials to sign into it.

I removed the <serverUrl> for my GP Service in my proxy.config as you suggested and my Geoprocessing Widget still shows in my WAB Application, however it totally fails to execute

If i double click on my "urlPrefix" ,I'm redirected to "https://machine.domain.gov.za/arcgis/rest/services/GeoServices/Click20/GPServerhttps://machine.domain.gov.za https://machine.domain.gov.za/adapter/rest/services/GeoServices/Click20/GPServer/IntersectionTool /adapter/rest/login?redirect=https%3A//https://machine.domain.gov.za /adapter/rest/services/GeoServices/Click20/GPServer/IntersectionTool"

where it prompts me for authentication, which the same behavior i want in the WAB Application.

Any more advice would be much appreciated

Ashley,

What happens if you also remove the rule from your apps main config.json file too? I would expect that it would not fail and would just challenge the user for their credentials.
