I am banging my head against the wall trying to resolve how to get my application to work with OAuth and Portal 10.3.1 and would love if anyone has any suggestions... I have implemented OAuth App Login for my page mainly using the example at OAuth Popup | ArcGIS API for JavaScript My map only loads one layer, but I would prefer to keep that layer available to all users (In Portal and other apps).  It is the specific use in my application of that layer that I would like to secure.  After registering my application in my Portal,  if I set the sharing of my Application to a specific group (lets call it Group A), and then try to login to my app as a Portal user who is NOT a member of Group A, the login works!!  But it shouldn't work right?  I should be able to secure an item at the Application level, not the resource level below it.  Although I could always implement User login and secure the actual service/layer that is loaded into the map, but like I mentioned I would only like to secure the Application itself, not the endpoints of any layer I want to include  It makes maintenance much easier, and makes more business sense.  Attached is my page for testing - would love if anyone could help me work through this.  ...

I'm having some pesky problems implementing some authentication for my JS App (which is hosted on an internal web server).  I thought that I could follow the Application login workflow (create application in Portal, use OAuthInfo class with appId to authenticate user to my Portal and gain access to my app) to allow only specific users to access my application as long as I set the security (through Portal) of my Web Mapping Application item to one of my Portal security groups.  Turns out it doesn't matter if the Web Mapping Application is shared with everyone or no one - if my JS web app has the appId, any user can login to my application.  So the only way (seemingly) to allow only some users access to my application is to restrict the _layers_ in my app to specific groups and use the IdentityManager class to challenge a user, etc. etc.  I like how the API handles much of this workflow without much extra coding - if my app tries to add a restricted layer to the map (map.addLayers([restrictedLayer1, layer2]), the user is prompted to sign in.  However, sometimes those restricted layers are not added until after a bunch of other stuff happens (dom parsing, widget instantiation, etc etc).  I would like to make sure the user has access to those secured layers before anything else happens, especially before my app gets to the point where it is trying to add those secured layers to the map.  I don't know how to do this.  What classes and methods should I use to challenge a user and determine if that user has access to a specific restricted layer?  I tried using IdentityManager getCredential method, where the URL is my restricted layer endpoint, but that didn't work.  Any suggestions? ...

I'm working on a bower / grunt build of the ArcGIS API 3.16 using the new Calcite theme.  If I point my two requite css files (calcite.css and esri.css) at the CDN (https://js.arcgis.com/3.16/esri/themes/calcite/dijit/calcite.css , and https://js.arcgis.com/3.16/esri/themes/calcite/esri/esri.css) instead of my local build (esri/css/calcite/calcite.css and esri/css/esri.css), my app looks pretty normal.  However, if I use the built version of the css files after using grunt-dojo plugin for a custom build, my app doesn't look nearly as clean.  Some of the fonts are bigger, my pop-up windows are mangled, and I don't receive any of the fastfont errors associated with the CDN versions of the files.  Any ideas what is going on here (or who at Esri I can tweet at that might know). Thanks! ... View more

I'm having problems deleting an item in Portal for ArcGIS.  It is delete protected so I can't delete using the UI.  I am unable to change the delete protection because the edit button is also disabled.  I used ArcGIS Online Assistant and tried to change the delete protection from there but the change from true to false wouldn't actually take.  It just kept reverting back.  I tried to find the xml or json file in the item ID folder on the Portal server itself, but I couldn't find the delete protection attribute.  I'm hesitant to just outright delete the item ID folder itself because I don't know if the item ID is registered anywhere else (a user's item list for instance).  Could anyone instruct me on a thorough way to force delete an item from Portal for ArcGIS? ...

We are doing some SQL consolidation, and are migrating our current enterprise geodatabase (the current data store for Server and Portal for ArcGIS 10.3) to a different SQL Instance.  Our DBO is comfortable migrating the database, users, etc. to a different instance under the same database name and setting, but I am worried about the ArcGIS for Server services, since the services seemed to be tied to the SQL Server / Instance.  Am I going to have to change all the data sources in my Map Documents and republish services once the database is migrated? Thanks! ... View more

I have installed and successfully authorized the GeoEvent Extension 10.3.1 on my federated ArcGIS system (Server 10.3.1 federated and hosted with Portal 10.3.1).  When I try to login with portal administrator username and password, I get an error that says the username or password you've entered is incorrect.  I used Chrome developer tools to see what was happening, and noticed there is a missing trailing slash in the POST request to generate the token.  This is the URL for the POST request taken from Chrome developer tools (the POST requests returns a 404): https://mygeoeventserver.org.tld:6143/geoevent/admin/proxy?https://mygiswebadaptor.org.tld/gissharing/generateToken My Portal entry point is https://mygiswebadaptor.org.tld/gis, and the correct page for generating a token should be https://mygiswebadaptor.org.tld/gis/sharing/generateToken, but as you can see the proxy request omits the slash after gis so the page requested is /gissharing/generateToken (which doesn't exist). Any way to fix this? Thanks! ... View more
