Hi Susan, It is unlikely that the software has issues regarding with mixed content as this seems to be working well for other organisations thus not recommended. There might be issues consuming WMS services that weren't created by ArcGIS since this is just a capability on top of a Map Server. However, this has not been confirmed by Esri as mentioned. The same in regards to consuming a GeoRSS feed. Both these issues are not related to mixed-content at least directly. This can even be caused due to the URLs not being formatted as expected as this is not very well documented. Lars suggested adding the WMS without the getcapabilities. I haven't tried so am not sure if this will work for all cases/software releases. Your issues can come from many things including firewall restrictions, security policies, browser limitations, the portal proxy denying the communication, SSL certificate errors or even because we don't know how the software expects that the URLs are formatted. This is not very well documented. Can you login to a machine using an account with admin privileges and attempt to consume the resources? It might happen that the firewall is preventing your user from performing calls to external HTTPS content or mixed-content. Cheers, Jose ... View more

Hi Ryan, I have tested your URLs in ArcGIS Online and they both work well. I have tested an HTTPS GeoRSS feed and the Portal 10.2.2 still failed meaning that this is not a problem with the mixed content as you also mentioned earlier. The HTTPS URL that I have used is the Esri sample: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2654618/data-mixed.xml Portal for ArcGIS 10.2.2 gives the following error in fiddler: {"error":{"code":400,"message":"File not found. Wrong url.","details":[null]}} and the following error in the Portal web site: The GeoRSS, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2654618/data-mixed.xml, cannot be added to the map. It is either not available or you have entered an invalid URL for the type of layer you want to reference. I do think that you are correct and that this is a bug with the software so I will leave this to Esri Inc. so that they can provide more information about the error. Cheers, Jose ... View more

Hi Ryan, Can you see if this resolves the issue? Handling mixed HTTP and HTTPS content I would suggest that you use HTTPS URLs though as you are referencing an insecure (http) resource within a secure (https) page. This is also related with this post: Cannot add any layer from web (map service) Cheers, Jose ... View more

Hi Russ, After changing the setting to disabled I can login with the admin account in both Collector and Portal for ArcGIS. After that, Portal for ArcGIS displays the Web Maps appropriately in the My Content area but Collector does not show any Web Map. If I enable the setting again Collector starts working normally and displays the Web Maps. Cheers, Jose Sousa ... View more

Hi Russ, From our tests only when sharing the AGS services with Everyone is that the applications are able of loading the services appropriately. The workaround you are proposing is only viable if our data would be made of Map Services which is not the case. Most of our WebMap uses Feature Server services that we don't want them to be publicly exposed for security reasons. Considering the above, can you tell me when it is planned for the new 10.2 releases to come out? Cheers, Jose ... View more

Hi Lucas, Yes. It was a conflict between versions. Thanks for pointing me to that. I had installed AGS for Desktop which uses the 32 bits version of Python. Then installed PythonWin (and other stuff for other IDE's) for 32 bits OS. Then installed the ArcGIS Background Geoprocessing for Desktop 64 bits and it seems like it changed the Python version used for all IDE's. So when I tested these IDE's for the Python version (not the arcpy version) they were using the 64 bits version while ArcGIS for Desktop was still using the 32 bits as expected. After uninstalling, the ArcGIS Background Geoprocessing for Desktop and reinstalling all the IDE components that used Python (e.g. IronPython) everything is working properly. It is a bit odd though that the desktop libraries coming with the AGS background geoprocessing setup causes this issue as AGS for Server is running arcpy on 64 bits and seems to work fine ...

Hi Mike, Thanks for your response. If they are not stored in the web map is there any AGOL rest service that I can use to persist that information in AGOL? Basically I want to do the same thing that is possible to be done using AGOL OOTB functions but programmatically. My AGOL for Organizations and AGS for Server can't share the same identity store and I only want users to be asked for authentication once (with AGOL). Cheers, Jose Sousa ESRI NZ ... View more
