ArcGIS REST JS Blog

This is a very common scenario that lot of developers must have pondered upon. We have a secured GIS web service that is accesible to limited users within our ArcGIS Enterprise. Now we want to use this service in an application built on top of ArcGIS JavaScript SDK. Now if we use this GIS web service directly in the JavaScript SDK a login popup will often be presented to the user whenever the application is initialized. Now the challenge is that the app is meant to be used without any login as it is for a wider audience base & the GIS service cannot be exposed publically also as it contains some sesnitive Information.

We want a solution which can allow us to use the secured GIS service in the public facing application without any login prompts from ArcGIS Enterprise & the serivice acces also needs to restricted as well to offer wider security & data integrity.
