<Crickets chirping in the night> Really? ESRI, can someone please give me an answer on this? "If your site will be accessed by external users, you should configure SSL on the web server hosting the Web Adaptor using a commercial Certificate Authority certificate" http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Enabling_SSL_on_ArcGIS_Server/0154000005q0000000/http://

We are attempting to secure or server with at CA-Signed Certificate. The instructions for this are found here. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Enabling_SSL_using_a_new_CA_signed_certificate/0154000005wr000000/ However the CA is requesting what what 'server software' we are using before we submit our CSR (the choices range from IIS7 to Apache to Lotus Domino and so forth). Our IT department has stated that providing the appropriate server software is typical when getting a CA-Signed certificate. We are using the web adaptor for IIS which leads me to believe that we need to choose IIS7. However, as I understand it, at 10.1 AGS has a built in web server based on Apache (?) and I need get this right the first time. What is most troubling is that Support Services has indicated that this is generally outside the realm of support and they have a request in to 'the developers'. :confused: In the 10.1 Help section 'Configuring ArcGIS Server to be secure', it explicitly states: While setting up SSL for a website, it is common practice to use a self-signed SSL certificate in the test environment and a CA-signed certificate when moving to production. (my emphasis added). ESRI itself indicates this is best practice. I'm hoping someone here will have the correct answer.

Hi Zachary, We haven't implemented the ArcGIS API for Silverlight�??s identity manager into the Viewer yet. This is on the product roadmap, but is not part of the next release. Hope this helps, Thanks, that does answer my question.

‎09-27-2012

Hi Zachary, The current release of the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight already supports secured services from ArcGIS for Server. FYI, Adding secured services Is this what you're asking? Hope this helps, Nope...I'm talking about exposing a secured service where the client is requested to provide credentials...similar to how the Flex viewer works.... the only way to do this in SL is to embed a token in a proxy page...thus anyone with your web applications URL can see your services...the only way to secure that web application is at the web server tier. Setting that up for the average GIS person isn't exactly easy...sure its easier if you maintain your user credential store within windows/web server, but if your credential store is configured to use the AGS's built-in security you need to design a web-facing page which can access those credentials back to AGS....which sounds very round-robin to me. Additionally, the only article that i've seen from ESRI on how to set this up basically stores the user credentials within the login.aspx. Why can't the silverlight viewer just prompt for credentials against secured map services using the identity manager like Flex does? what am I missing?

This is the kind of problem I'm referring to: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/62538-Error-when-using-print-service-on-dynamic-layer?p=221720&viewfull=1#post221720 If the print task and map services are on the same GIS server, the server is still making a HTTP request to the url in the web map json, so it's acting as a client to itself. For what its worth...the actual export service works at REST. However, i'm not completely sure i understand the fix described at the end of that thread....at least not without an example.... My server's IP address and name is already listed in the hosts file....

Does it print fine if you turn off security on your service? If not, then it's probably a different problem. What is the URL to your print service? That server needs to be able to connect to your service. Can you use a tool like HttpFox to see the print request and response? The client should be sending the short term token as part to the url in the Web_Map_as_JSON parameter. it is passing a token...you can see the token listed in the error in the viewer...on error for each secured service. print task and map services on the same GIS server....and furthermore, (and it shouldn't matter) both the GP service and Map service are secured with the same role. If i knew more what to look for in the HTTPFox it could be of more help.

Here's a working example. The login is: user1/user1 map config: <map esrilogovisible="true" openhandcursorvisible="true" scalebarvisible="true" zoomslidervisible="false" wraparound180="true" addarcgisbasemaps="true" initialextent="-13458291.5379666 4173046.713184668 -13425614.70837473 4191582.6925437986" wkid="102100" top="40"> <operationallayers> <layer type="dynamic" label="SaveTheBay" url="http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/SaveTheBay/MapServer" visible="true"/> </operationallayers> </map> print widget config: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <configuration> <taskurl>http://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Utilities/PrintingTools/GPServer/Export%20Web%20Map%20Task</taskurl> <title visible="false"/> <copyright visible="false"/> <author visible="false"/> <usescale visible="true"/> </configuration> Yes, everything is configured properly...i have tried it without any security as well...still a 400 error.

Hi Ian, We're targeting the next release for late Sept/early Oct timeframe (so very soon!) It will include the following as part of its core functionality: - bookmarks tool - measure tool - support for custom locators - print tool (supports the new 10.1 Printingtools GP service) It will be built and compiled on the ArcGIS v3.0 API for Silverlight release. We're planning on supporting the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight for the foreseeable future. It (along with the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex) is the out-of-the-box, configurable web mapping application builder for ArcGIS for Server moving forward. Hope this helps, Will 3.0 have an identity manager built-in to handle secured arcgis server services?

Please see this help page: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/#/Printing_maps_that_contain_secured_services/0154000005q3000000/ Dasa, I'm not sure what the other 2 users said that made you certain that the above article would solve the particular problem? The article is specific in that it only addresses long-term/built-in token...not short-lived tokens which is what the other users may be experiencing and is the case for my situation. The credentials for the secured map services are clearly being authenticated (by the identity manager) as the map services display just fine. I too receive a nearly identical error as kvlastos152 describes...it gives and error for each secured map service when i try to print...unfortunately I cannot find a way to copy from error dialog's in flex. Base maps with no services will print just fine. I have spent the last 2 days with tech support trying to resolve this issue with no success. I would greatly appreciate any fresh perspective on this as it is clear to me that: Web searches indicate this is a common issue Tech support does not know how to resolve the issue.

Please see this help page: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/#/Printing_maps_that_contain_secured_services/0154000005q3000000/ That article only points to longterm/built-in tokens....I'm still having issues with what seems to be the initial log-in credentials not being passed to the print task.

Update: API set-up, looks like i need to add another hat to the rack along with all the other roles a GIS person has to play these days. Currently have an incident open with ESRI in trying to get a way to add the identity manager to the viewer. I've since learned that the viewer template still has not been updated to match the current SDK so I'm pretty sure that's a show stopper right there. The ESRI support person has suggested you can add the identity functionality as an Add-In for the viewer, but due to the reason above i'm not buying it (nor have had the time to test it, but that would be great). So, alas, I may wait until the new viewer is issued (and just hope that the identity manager is built in this time around or i'll be back haunting the API support folks).

hi, we have a basic web editing site which allows users to add points, and we want to track those edits. However, we don't want to have a constrained set of defined users along with associated passwords because we expect the number of users to get very large very quickly and it would be cumbersome to try to define each of them. We'd just like to have an open site where any user could have access without authentication, but would just need to initially input an e-mail address or some identifying string. Then that would be attached to his added features, as in the Editor Tracking sample. Is it possible to customize the Editor Tracking sample code or the secure services functionality to achieve this? Thanks much! Dan I'm pretty sure i saw an example of this while out at Redlands earlier this year; this was before 10.1 came out. I think what I would do as a test is keep the service secured and handle the web-facing exposure via a proxy page. In the example I saw the person from ESRI did demonstrate your same scenario with editor tracker...it logged the time created, but i think the user field was blank (or possibly logged with the credentials used to create your token in your proxy page...but that may be the coffee talking).

I'm still having trouble with this. Are there any videos out there for this? I'm even having difficulty in the full xaml code copying correctly. 😕

‎07-25-2012

For what I need, the SL viewer does 85% of what I want it to do. Unfortunately, it doesn't contain the identity manager functionality. I am aware (and have set up) a means of forms based authentication, but frankly if i'm going to go through all the trouble of setting up user's and roles on my server (using the built-in store) I'd just assume have the various services be authenticated there. Anyway, this brings me to basically trying to find a basic template and getting the functionality i need inserted into it. What is, in your opinion, the easiest way to set up your developing environment? Do I understand correctly that I need both Visual studio and Expression blend? Any tips or shortcuts would be greatly appreciated.
