I am trying to make a big upgrade from WAB v 1.2 with Enhanced Search v 1.1.6 to WAB v 2.4 and Enhanced Search v 2.4.0.2. My question is should I be able to somehow upgrade or import my eSearch config settings without having to manually re-create some 15 query layers? First few tries to use my old config file have not worked. This might be wishful thinking.

I don't see why not. We have been learning how to use Amazon Web Services, and I can say that creating a server in the cloud and installing ArcGIS Desktop is not very different from installing it on a physical computer. The way our IT has set us up, our AWS machines can join our Active Directory domains and reach our internal resources. It sounds like your IT is already working on a plan, so they will have to deal with all the network connectivity issues to the databases and file resources you will use (and printers), but that will be something they are already aware of. You may have issues if you need to be able to plug in USB memory sticks, portable hard drives or CD/DVDs. If that is something your workflow requires, be sure to let your IT know that. I do wonder from where you and your fellow GIS users will remote to these remote desktops. From a laptop or a desktop computer, I would guess.

We had this problem too, starting about August 10. Today we found that updating Chrome to version 53.02 fixes the problem, so we did not have to manually modify any code. Thanks for all the details in this thread.

With help from Esri tech support, we found the solution. In the config.json file on your WAB application are two entries for "PortalURL", and by default it is set to your organization's URL <orgname>.maps.ArcGIS.com This was causing the problem because when the user was prompted to log in, their credentials were sent to <orgname>.maps.ArcGIS.com which could not validate them. The solution is simple, just change the two Portal URL entries to www.ArcGIS.com Then the user's credentials are sent to the big guy for validation instead of the little guy (our org).

We are deploying a WAB (developer edition) based application on our own web server, but we need an authentication mechanism so that only authorized people can see the content. These end users are both within and outside of our organization. We have an ArcGIS Online for Organizations account and so do these other groups. We would like to have folks to be able to authenticate using their own AGO accounts. This seems to suggest it is possible: Sharing Between ArcGIS Online Organizations · Esri/developer-support Wiki · GitHub Following those directions, we were able to add a user from another AGO organization account into one of our AGO groups and then share content with them. They can open the web map that the application is based on, and they can share content to the group so it can be included in the web map. All of the content for this application is shared with this group (not 'everyone') We deployed the WAB based application on our web server. When we open the app, we are prompted by AGO to log in and if we use an account from our own organization it opens, but if the user from another organization logs in it tells them they are not authenticated and nothing appears on the map. So, if they log in to their own AGO organization account they can see the content of the web map shared to the group, but if they are prompted by the application on our own web server and use the same credentials, they can't see the content. Should it be possible to do what we are trying to do? Is AGO set up in such a way that sharing content in this way is not possible? Are there any other reasonable solutions for authenticating access to an application based on WAB and AGO web maps?

I use the "about" widget for a similar purpose to what you describe. Have you already ruled out that widget? I'm sure it wouldn't take much to programmatically open it when the splash screen is closed, then the user can open and close it when needed by clicking an icon.

It looks like the answer is no, not yet. Too bad, I was hoping we could implement that too. I'd say the work-around is to create a new, shared account for the collaborators to use and then change ownership of the item to this new user. Create groups—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS Note: Currently, the scene viewer, presentation viewer, and ArcGIS apps do not support the update item capability. For example, as a member of such a group, you can update the item details of a scene shared to the group from My Content, but you cannot modify the scene from within the scene viewer. Support will be added in future releases.

If you want the buffer to appear in the print then go to the "Edit default buffer properties" and choose "Add the buffer layer to the maps legend" Okay thanks. I tried that but found the buffer graphic was still turning off when the eSearch widget is closed but now I see that if I open the layer list and turn off the buffer graphic an then turn it on again, it will stay then on.

After creating a buffer, is it possible to leave the buffer graphic on screen when the widget closes so that it can be printed by the print widget? Is it possible to have it create a buffer graphic without selecting any features if a user just wants to show a buffered area?

Another way to turn off the logo is to go into the config.json file and look for the "mapOptions" item and add "logo" : false, -- it is on line 236 in mine but could be anywhere. The original code will look something like this: "mapOptions": { "extent": { "xmin":-13640110.909870049, "ymin":5954211.294452187, "xmax":-13479287.402357975, "ymax":6073758.806690248, "spatialReference":{ "wkid": 102100} } } Change to: "mapOptions": { “logo”: false, "extent": { "xmin":-13640110.909870049, "ymin":5954211.294452187, "xmax":-13479287.402357975, "ymax":6073758.806690248, "spatialReference":{ "wkid": 102100} } }

Nicely done Rickey! it is really fast and works well. Your code is nicely organized and easy to read, too. I like how you have used a dynamic service for your base map so that users can zoom in much closer than is typical with a tiled base map. The only thing I noticed that I'd like to mention is that I can zoom in further with the aerial photo than the base map, so if I zoom way in first with the aerial on and then switch to the basemap it doesn't draw anything unless I zoom out a little. Great work!

There is a way to avoid the secured services sign in. Create an item in ArcGIS Online (or Portal) that points to your secured service. Choose "Add Item from web" and then enter the URL of your secured service. It will detect that it is a secured service and ask you for credentials and then if you want it to save those credentials. Tell it to save the credentials, then save the item (it will be a "Map Image Layer"), then share it with the appropriate group. Then go your your web map, choose "add" then "search for layers" (not 'add layer from web') and add the item you just created. Now when you access the web map via Collector, it will log into the secured service for you.

I have just made an interesting discovery that just makes me more confused. Using my same IE11 and the same Yakmia measure tool demo site we've been discussing I just found out that if I change my "document mode" to either IE8 or IE9, then the site will load without giving me that access denied error, but when it is in IE10 or the default EDGE mode, then I get that error. huh? I assume this is the result of some group policy our IT group has pushed, but I still don't understand this at all.

I know it is a really strange problem, but I am surprised that so few other people have it. I assume it is something related to CORS restrictions. When I try to access your site, for example, the console says "Access Denied" to https://yakima.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/portals/self?f=json&dojo.preventCache=1429730627189 But when I put that URL directly into IE URL bar, it accesses that URL no problem and shows the JSON response. So it isn't that the URL is blocked or I don't have the right permissions, it is IE saying it won't access the URL within the application. BTW I'm using IE11, no compatibility mode
