Stored Credentials - New Feature 12/12/12

DanikBourdeau2

Wondering if anybody has any more details on the new feature just released 'Stored Credentials'? How it works?

I noticed there are now inputs for Username and Password in the settings of a service but whenever I put some in I get the message 'Valid service credentials not fully specified.' How do these Stored Credentials differ from sharing options we already have?

Thanks,

I'm still curious what these 'Stored Credentials' are all about and since this thread has almost 100 views, I suspect others are as well. bump.

When you add items representing secured ArcGIS Server services, you now have the option to store authentication credentials with the item. Storing credentials means that ArcGIS Online does not prompt end users for authentication when they access the service, for example, as a layer in a web map.

Effectively, it allows you to override your ArcGIS Server security and leverage ArcGIS Online security instead for service items published to ArcGIS.com. For clients that access the service directly via REST, the ArcGIS Server security is still in force.

Thanks,

Hey Mike, thanks for the reply.

So I guess this is really useful when you have a public web map but the Feature Services included are private. In the case of Organization subscribers it's probably still best to manage everything through groups?

Any plans to extend this feature to allow access through REST? This is something that I have been struggling with for a while. I have Feature Services that I do not have the right to redistribute therefore must be made private, but want to create publicly available web apps on my website. Since the layers are private login credentials are required.

Have you ever found a solution to the "Valid service credentials not fully specified" message that you were receiving? I attempted to add a secure service using the correct username/password credentials and received this message as well.

Same issue here... BUMB.

I'm also getting the same error, with Portal, trying to add an external, 'unsecure' webservice.

Portal seems to be confused with requiring a password to exit our forward proxy.

GET /arcgis/sharing/checkUrl.jsp?url=http%3A//maps.six.nsw.gov.au/arcgis/rest/services/public/NSW_Imagery/MapServer%3Ff%3Djson&f=json HTTP/1.1

JSON

httpResponse=

httpStatusCode=407

httpStatusMessage=HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required

secured=True

url=http://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/arcgis/rest/services/public/NSW_Imagery/MapServer?f=json

If I supply my proxy credentials the request still fails.

Any ideas?

It seems you are trying to supply your proxy credentials. The only credentials that are supported are ArcGIS Server (Token based).

This issue is I shouldn't be asked for any credentials.

The site to be added is http

I was able to add your service:

"http://maps.six.nsw.gov.au/arcgis/rest/services/public/NSW_Imagery/MapServer"

as an item to ArcGIS Online and Portal for ArcGIS. Is it possible your organization is configured with SSL enabled (https)? In my testing, I was not able to add the service because it gets blocked by the browser as an insecure site. Your service would need to support SSL.

Don't you hate that ... works for you and not them.

I'm still stuck

It appears as though the Portal isn't sending the Proxy-Authorization: header when required

A 407 response isn't saying the service is secured, in an ESRI sense.
