Because you're accessing WAB over HTTPS but your GIS Server isn't responding with HTTPS, there's a protocol violation. You'll want to enable HTTPS on the GIS Server. Which version of ArcGIS Server are you using? Newer versions have both HTTP and HTTPS enabled by default. As Jonathan mentioned, edit your web map and try adding the image service resource over https using port 6443 instead of port 6080. ... View more

Which web clients does this other company use? Tokens will work with WMS in a web client, but ArcMap as a client won't request a token for WMS. For instance, they can append a token to the end of a web request and access a secured resource if your customer is working with web apps instead of a thick client. ... View more

Along those same lines, you can use a tool like Fiddler to check the web traffic. If you're missing tiles, you'll get http 404 errors. If you see those, your cache is missing some tiles at that extent. ... View more

There's no provision in the OGC spec for tokens - tokens are an Esri specific construct. Basic/NTLM/Kerberos authentication will work. Given that you're working with ArcMap and I presume ArcGIS Server since you're using token based authentication, why do you use WMS instead of Map Services? ... View more

Cool, 8.5.6 is supported. You're correct. By default, Tomcat runs on port 8080 and 8443 (assuming HTTPS is enabled).  On Linux, there's a restriction on ports below 1024 - they're considered privileged. This restriction is addressed by: a. Running Tomcat as root (*not* a preferred work around) or b. Using IP Tables or c. Using AuthBind https://blog.webhosting.net/how-to-get-tomcat-running-on-centos-7-2-using-privileged-ports-1024/ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10450045/why-does-tomcat-work-with-port-8080-but-not-80 ...

Hi Scott, a. Which version Tomcat are you using? b. I assume you registered the web adaptor with the GIS Server using HTTPS (port 6443). Is that correct? c. I'm surprised you were able to register the web adaptor with the GIS Server. Non-default ports aren't supported: http://server.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/administer/linux/about-the-arcgis-web-adaptor.htm "You can only use the Web Adaptor with port 80 or 443. Using different ports is not supported." ... View more

This sounds like a potential memory leak, likely data specific. Do you have any other locators that behave like this? What's the memory look like for the arcsoc.exe process that's associated with the service when you reproduce this issue? To check that, open task manager, right click on any of the columns (CPU, Memory, etc), click 'select columns', scroll down, and select 'command line'. ... View more

I'd try dropping a web.config in the wwwroot, or if there's one already there, add or update this element: <configuration>    <startup>       <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5.1" />    </startup> </configuration> Essentially, make sure that the .net sku is pointing to the correct version. see: https://forums.asp.net/t/2109026.aspx?ASP+NET+application+initialization+is+failing+on+Server+2016+IIS+10 ...

Instead of trying to reach a specific service, try to connect to the GIS Server and allow the services to be listed, then choose the one you want. Use this URL (I *think* ArcPad uses SOAP instead of REST, so you'd omit the REST directory from the context): http://gis:6080/arcgis/services if not, try REST: http://gis:6080/arcigis/rest/services ...

You may have already gleaned this from the doc, but it basically comes down to service stability. When using low isolation, if one service crashes, then all services served by that container crash, causing availability issues. With high isolation, failures are...isolated to that one service in that one container, so the effects aren't as drastic. ... View more

OK, got it. Those are pooling properties, but aren't really related to isolation. I honestly can't think of a reason as to why an organization would use low isolation, given how relatively inexpensive it is to add memory to a machine. We actually recommend against low isolation in the doc. http://server.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/publish-services/windows/tuning-and-configuring-services.htm#GUID-DA6856EF-DBB7-4BB7-B48C-A40DC4130A2B ...

Let's talk about that option. Why do you prefer low isolation? ... View more

If the services are cached/tiled, with individual services you can toggle the visibility of the layers.  If you have one large tiled service, you can't toggle the visibility of individual layers. It's been a bit since I've discussed this topic, but it used to be the case that a map service won't render in the client until all layers have been downloaded - so if you have 'heavier' layers, I'd consider those as separate services. That way the user experience seems better because SOME services will render while the others are in the process of loading. If you have many 'light' services with simple symbology, you can consider consolidating. What's the driver behind this conversation? Are there resource constraints? ... View more
