How to check if a layer requires a token to initialize or not

[HumzaAkhtar]

Hello,

How can I check programatically for a Layer(Tiled, Dynamic or Feature) whether a token is required to initialize it or not. I want to know this before I initialize it.

I donot want to initialize it first and then view the error to know that I required a token for this service.

I couldnot find any property in ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer or ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer which can tell me that this service is secure.

Hi,

The workflow for identifying the type of security required is to use the Identity Manager and provide a challenge delegate. In the callback, the CredentialRequestInfos will contain an AuthenticationType value (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-wpf/apiref/index.html?ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Cli...

Certificate = Authentication by client certificate (PKI infrastructure)
NetworkCredential = HTTP secured service (Digest, basic or Integrated)
Token = Token secured service.

Cheers
