Add Authentication for WMS Layers on ArcGIS Portal

Hi,

I have published a WMS layer to an arcgis portal using ArcGIS Pro. I want to modify this layer such that any application that accesses that layer first needs to provide a username and password. When I try to publish the layer form ArcGIS Pro, it says that sharing level for WMS layers must be set the 'Everyone' and hence anyone with access to the ArcGIS portal is able to access my WMS layer without any credentials.

Is there a method that I can use to add authentication to my layers? Something similar to what subscriber layers do. Any help would be appreciated.

I need the same thing. I need to add a password to a wms for external users but can't find any solution. No one knows how to do it?

Is the third party app able to authenticate with ArcGIS Enterprise? If yes, then you can change the WMS item's sharing level away from "Everyone" and have the app authenticate the user with ArcGIS Enterprise.

 

If the app cannot authenticate with ArcGIS Enterprise then you must come up with a solution that would pass the requests through a proxy server.
