eSearch Search URL invalid

RobertLackage — Fri, 01 Feb 2019 03:30:05 GMT

Is there any reason this service won't validate in the eSearch widget?

Robert,

That url added to the eSearch widget fine for me...

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, I'm using WAB 2.11 and I've tried all 4 versions of eSearch. It validates when I use a different service (https://services1.arcgis.com/O7h3OCRVxKceyg19/arcgis/rest/services/04_30_18/FeatureServer/0 )

Robert,

Can you verify that you are using the latest version of the eSearch by holding the Alt key and click on the widgets window? A popup should appear showing the actual version of the eSearch widgets that particular app is using.

Robert,

Hmm. I just tested again and it still works for me using that widget version. In your address bar is WAB running http or https?

Robert,

That is the issue then you can not be running WAB in https and then try and add a url that is only available in http because behind the scenes the url is upgraded to https and your ArcGIS Server is not able to deal with https urls.

When I try to launch the wab using http, it redirects to https. Is this something that's new with 2.11? I can't find 2.10 download anywhere.

Robert,

No it is not a new thing to 2.11. Actually you just used a https address for your Portal url when you you started the new WAB ("Specify the URL to your ArcGIS Online organization or Portal for ArcGIS"). To fix this you need to go into your server directory and delete the signininfo,json file and restart WAB dev and this time around enter the http url for your PortalUrl.

I deleted it, used the http address for the portal, but it keeps switching to https. I also tried editing the signininfo.json to http, but it keeps switching it to https.

Ahh, Sorry that will fix new apps, but to fix an old app you need to edit the portal url in the apps main config.json

Re: eSearch Search URL invalid

RobertLackage — Sat, 02 Feb 2019 01:08:07 GMT

The config.json now has http for the portal url, but I'm getting the same result. When I create a new app and try the service url in the widget, same thing. The problem is that when I launch wab the address is https, right? Is there anyway to make the service url https? This is what the address bar looks like in chrome...

Robert,

correct that is the problem. Making your ArcGIS Server https would involve purchasing a SSL certificate and all the steps to install and deploy (quite involved). When you open the signininfo.json what does it have for

"portalUrl"? Is it now http? if so did you restart WAB by closing the command prompt window?

Re: eSearch Search URL invalid

RobertLackage — Sat, 02 Feb 2019 01:26:30 GMT

The signininfo.json keeps coming up https. I closed out the command prompt, deleted the signininfo.json, ran startup.bat. I put http://desktop-q87ofur:344/webappbuilder in the browser address bar and it redirects to https://desktop.....etc.

Robert,

Are you sure you are deleting the signininfo.json in the server folder of the WAB version you are working with? When I delete that file and relaunch WAB it displays a dialog where I have to verify my Portal url and add my AppID before it will allow me to continue.

Re: eSearch Search URL invalid

RobertLackage — Sat, 02 Feb 2019 01:57:02 GMT

Yes, I get the same dialog and that's where I put in the http.

Robert,

Maybe your AGOL admin has set your org to only allow https access now.

Re: eSearch Search URL invalid

RobertLackage — Sat, 02 Feb 2019 02:13:31 GMT

Is there anyway to create a service using QGIS or anything?

Re: eSearch Search URL invalid

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Sat, 02 Feb 2019 02:14:42 GMT

You could setup your own free AGOL developer account.
