I am looking for opinions on how to create a connection from the web to an internal ArcGIS Server Service or a Sql database.
I would like to view and edit data on our internal server from an external website. (such as having a public citizen edit a pothole feature class on our website).
We have all our data on a server in a sql database, we have a web server with ArcGIS Server 10.2 and and internal ArcGIS Server with 10.2.
Options we have been looking at:
Reverse proxy on our external web server?
and/or using the web adapter to bridge the 2 servers?
Here's the problem I can use all this terminology but when it comes down to it I don't know where to go to make these connections or what to type if I find it.
Thanks in advance for any help you might have.
Hi Jessica,
If your web-server has a public IP, you could configure web-adaptor (with ArcGIS Server) on the web-server machine.
