Map Server Layer pulled from URL with invalid security certificate

klebercj — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 19:52:49 GMT

I'm attempting to narrow down issues I'm having pulling a map server layer into my Android project.

I'm trying to pull in a map layer from a dev server and place it on top of an ESRI basemap layer. So far I have had no luck with pulling in the map server layer. The URL for the layer (without identifiable information) is https://xxxxx-dev.xxxxxxx.net:6400/arcgis/rest/services/..../MapServer.

I do know these things;

1) My code will pull in an ESRI public map server layer and place it over a base map layer.

2) The URL for the map server I want to pull from makes me "Accept the Risk and Continue" when I look at it through a web browser. The URL uses an invalid security certificate.

3) I don't have the authority to change or update that certificate. This layer is just for dev work though and will not be used in the final product.

I don't know these things;

1) Is the invalid security certificate causing the layer to not render?

2) Is there a way to configure network setting inside the app so that I can continue with development?

3) Am I barking up the wrong tree on this?

Any help would be appreciated

Additional info is that this map server I trying to pull from is an ArcGIS server configured with a self-signed certificate. It's communicating through the default 6443 port.

Anyone have an opinion or idea regarding this?

Hello @klebercj ,

It seems that the dev server you are trying to use is self-signed and the connection is being refused.

You have a couple options:

1. Install the root certificate in your device so that the device automatically trusts the dev server you are trying to access.

- To verify that this was done correctly, try going to the dev server using your mobile browser and you won't get the ""Accept the Risk and Continue" message anymore.

2. Create a NetworkAuthenticationChallengeHandler that returns a ServerTrust network credential when the NetworkAuthenticationType is of type ServerTrust.

- Warnign: This will trust all self-signed server certificates and should only be used in test environments and NOT for production.

override suspend fun handleNetworkAuthenticationChallenge(challenge: NetworkAuthenticationChallenge): NetworkAuthenticationChallengeResponse { return when (challenge.networkAuthenticationType) { ... is NetworkAuthenticationType.ServerTrust -> NetworkAuthenticationChallengeResponse.ContinueWithCredential(ServerTrust) } ... } }
