Hi Matt, Q1) How are the 2 sets of named users licensed and tracked? A1) The Named Users for ArcGIS Online are maintained within your ArcGIS Online organizational account. The Named Users for Portal for ArcGIS are maintained by your Portal license file that you obtain from Esri Customer Service. Q2) If we have 100 ANU do we also have 100 PNU? Or do we need to negotiate Portal NU licenses separately? A2) For the first question, not necessarily. As I've said, Named User accounts for ArcGIS Online are separate from Named User accounts for Portal for ArcGIS. They apply to two different 'portal' instances. Please discuss these questions with your local Esri account manager. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Shafi, > I wonder where you configure the security for map services in the given context like we have custom application based on WAB, Arcgis portal and arcgis server hosting map services? Your question is pretty broad and you haven't given enough information, nor context for a definitive answer. - What kind of authentication have you enabled on your ArcGIS Server site? - What kind of authentication have you enabled on your Portal for ArcGIS instance? - Is the Server site federated with Portal? FYI, a starting point to get some general background on Server and Portal security: Securing ArcGIS for Server and Portal for ArcGIS | Esri Video - Esri Developer Summit 2015 tech session I suggest you review the help documentation, Restricting access to GIS web services—Documentation (10.3 and 10.3.1) | ArcGIS for Server About configuring portal authentication—Portal for ArcGIS (10.3 and 10.3.1) | ArcGIS for Server Hope this helps, ...

Hi Paul, > Going from version 10.0 to 10.1, this internally maintained data illustrates that there has been complexity added to ArcGIS Server without adding value to the product (from my perspective). FYI, ArcGIS 10.1 for Server (and subsequent releases) has a completely new architecture than earlier releases of ArcGIS Server (e.g., 10.0 or earlier). There are many benefits such as: 64-bit processes, easier installation, easier to manage and configure, etc. You can learn more: ArcGIS for Server 101 ArcUser technical article Regarding the specific reason why Server makes a copy of the mxd when you publish content, it is there in case you may want to re-publish the service and/or replicate it sometime in the future.

Hi Shafi, From your original post in this discussion thread, > I want for end users a custom home page where they will see all applications permitted to them. Why don't you leverage the Explorer for ArcGIS app? It offers a personalized UE that displays only the maps and apps that you own or that you are interested in. FYI: Explorer for ArcGIS | ArcGIS ...

Hi Shafi, I don't have much to add to this discussion thread as I am not a JavaScript developer. I believe Robert's answer is pretty informative and I know he has lots of experience coding for Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS. Good luck, ... View more

Hi Lucas, I just personally tested the following to try and replicate the behavior you're reporting: In the Portal for ArcGIS map viewer, I added 2 web services: one was secured (service A), one was not secured (service B). Both web services are from the same ArcGIS Server site configured with web tier authentication and the Server site is not federated with Portal. Saved the web map and accessed Web AppBuilder (embedded in Portal) to create a new web app for the web map. When I launch the web app, I am prompted to provide credentials for the secured web service (service A), when I don't provide correct credentials or click Cancel, service B still loads in the web app. So I don't see the issue you've reported: "The web app loads, including the basemap, but none of the services load." Perhaps you've misconfigured a security setting somewhere? Please check you settings with the help topic: Securing web services with Integrated Windows Authentication—Documentation (10.3 and 10.3.1) | ArcGIS for Server ... View more

Hi Lucas, Not sure I understand what you mean when you say: > "The Portal site is unfederated so I don't have to use named user accounts." Portal for ArcGIS always uses named user accounts, whether a Server site is federated with it or not. > "What I found was if the Portal application references any services the user is not permitted to access, the map application won't load.  For example, if the map includes 1 or more secured services and I am not permitted to view some or all of them, then the application fails to load any services." Can you please elaborate? Does the web app not load at all? If this is the case, what do you see? Is there an error message? Can you provide a screen capture? Or do you mean that the web app loads, but none of the secured web services display in the web app? ... View more

Hi Paul, A1. You're correct. A named user in Portal for ArcGIS is NOT the same as a named user in ArcGIS Online. Please treat these as two separate and different accounts for two separate 'portal' instances. A2. No, there is no link between Portal for ArcGIS and ArcGIS Online in terms of administering named users. Even if you have a hybrid deployment, both 'portals' are separate systems: one is on-premises, the other is in the cloud. Yes, you would manage their respective named user accounts separately. For your Q3 and Q4, since you mention that your organization is in an ELA, please discuss these items with your Esri account manager. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Hilde, I tried to reproduce the behavior your describing with the specific web services (from ArcGIS Online) you listed in your post and I don't see any issues. I suspect that perhaps something may be amiss with your Portal for ArcGIS installation. Please contact Esri Tech Support as they are best equipped to help you investigate and track down the issue. Good luck, ... View more

Hi Hilde, The issue you've described is very unusual and we are unable to reproduce it. Some things to help troubleshoot: - Have you tried to clear your web browser cache? - What web browser are you using? Does the same thing happen when you use the same workflow in a different web browser? Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Lara, Unfortunately, the attachment you posted does not quite contain the JSON info I was looking for. At this point, I'm not sure what the source of the problem is, or if perhaps you've stumbled upon a software bug.
