No you still have to update your app too with your changes, whether it's overwriting Widget.js or configs.  I've yet to find another way.  I just treat it as a constraint I have deal with.  Unless I too am missing something. ... View more

Hi Brian, can you provide a little more detail on your sharing setup?  Is the webmap shared organizaion-wide only? Is the app registered with AGOL?  Are you looking to bypass the IdentityManager?  ... View more

Sorry, a bit more. Found this link: Latest ArcGis jsapi library resamples images, this doesn't · Issue #240 · Esri/esri-leaflet · GitHub  Looks like Tilemap is a custom capability maybe in the form of and SOE that handled a resample of existing tiles when a zoom level encountered a missing tile.  Also looks like any work on it is stopping or has stopped becasue vector tiles will be superceding this method.   Looks like I'll stop chasing this one...... ...

So as I began to look closer at the world topo service at: World_Topo_Map (MapServer)  I noticed in the capabilities key value pair in the json something called Tilemap: "capabilities": "Map,Tilemap,Query,Data",‍ I'd be remiss if I didn't investigate further and so in my fiddler session for the lods at levels like 23 (1:70 scale): services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer/tilemap/23/3536792/2273984/8/8 ‍ and as you can see instead of returning 'tile' the service returns 'tilemap' - as specified in it's capabilites above.   The kicker is: How do I enable that capability on my tiled cached services?  Because the only reference I can find to the 'tilemap' as a capability is with Vector tile services: ArcGIS REST API  You can't just go into your Admin at Home > services > CachedMapServices > SarasotaCountyBaseMap_v3.MapServer > edit and add the capability Sure would be nice if esri would chime in here.... is this a server object extension that enables the Tilemap capability for a cached map service? ...

Yeah, I haven't even tried labelling in a web scene yet... I've got a fairly decent beta at 4.x using the Calcite Maps Bootstrap template but still need to solve some specialized query task returns and popup paging issues.  Need a few more widgets too - Directions, Mesure ... View more

Sorry Jeff I don't think I was clear, my fault.  You can't unregister your developer app, that has to stay registered.  I meant that any app, after configuration and you have downloaded it, unzipped it and have added it to your external web server, you do not need to register that app.   I personally do not and would not add services or feature layers to AGOL through my internal server machine names (if that's what you're saying?), only through the external web adaptor name - webadaptor.scgov.net - But I first secure my services in server manager using an ArcServer viewer role, then add (register) my feature layers with our org and store the credentials.  That way my services are always secure and then the AGOL permissions controls who can see the map. But I agree with everything else you are saying.   Thanks for the Portal info, as what I'm doing will change when we federate and designate a hosting site.  Then Portal permissions will control services permissions, at least that's how I understand it so far. ...

Well, one thing you could try is to un-register your published wab with your org.  The wab is still hosted on your server along with your proxy.  Since the wab is no longer registered it no longer has a clientid and clientsecret.  Then in the rules array of the config, you only need to put a reference to your org and the proxy.  In the proxy config ServerURL tag, add an org user and password for your orgs url, doesn't have to be your credentials, just a viewers credentials that can read the map. This way, the webmap is secure and the map services or feature layers populating the webmap can be secure.  Since the app is not registered on AGOL, it won't be found in searches there. I have an a wab running this way now.   I don't know about Portal yet, we are going there at 10.5 but aren't moving to 10.5 until we refresh a bunch of servers this summer. ... View more

Oh good suggestion thanks and thanks for taking the time to chime in.  I'll post back anything I find ... View more

Sorry I didn't make myself very clear.  So what I am trying to do is to create the same 'overzoom' or fuzzy resolution tiles for scales 1:282, 1:141, and 1:70 for my local base map tile cache, same as esri is doing with the world topo and world streets base maps.  I have created the scales (levels) in my tiling scheme, then left those levels empty.   I then tried placing the bundle files from the 1:564 scale into the empty zoom levels under my _alllayers folder in the cache directory for my local base, and then tweaking the conf.xml's Resolution tags for the large scales to match the 564 scale.  I found this method in a post or a help doc for a tpk that you would use with Mobile for example (I'll post back the link when I can find it again).  So far, this method doesn't work for a Sever cache, or at least I can't get it to.  So I am wondering how esri is making this effect work for their basemaps.   They obviously are not creating tiles at those levels and resolutions. Nor do I wish to, takes forever uses a ton of space that I don't have.  In the meantime, I am using a 'missing' tile .png, which is fine at 3.x and the wabs but the 'missing' png isn't being honored at 4.x! I'd love to be out of caching all together, but until vector tiles or the mapbox spec catches up with at least honoring a stacked label (not to mention printing), then creating caches is going to be with us for awhile.   ...

Thanks for the reply Rebecca.  Yes that is what I am referring to.  What it appears that esri does is to create tiles at a small scale 1:1128), and then add those same tiles to to the next several larger scales (1:564, 1:282 etc), but keep the larger scales at the same resolution as the smaller scale by tweaking the cache's config.xml.   This method does seem to work when creating a tile package(for hosting) and then adjusting the lods in the config.xml, but does not seem to work for a standard map cache at 10.4x or 10.5.  So I was hoping that esri would reply and tell what they are doing, if in fact the only way to get this to work is through the tile package ...

Not sure, depends on your sharing and hosting.  For me, if I am trying to expose a developer edition WAB hosted on my web server and shared organization-wide but not public, then all I need in my rules array is my orgs address and the proxy address.  The proxy needs the org address and either a user-password or client id secret id.  This of course does not protect the app, webmap or feature layers if someone stumbles across the url but it does allow anyone in our county org to access the app when we share the url. In doing this however, and if using the Add Data widget, any organization-wide shared layers would be visible to the Add Data widget even if you configure the add data widget to only show AGOL layers ...
