Mo, have you done a test with api 2.8 ? 2.8 identity manager works great for secure services, even if the service is used for find/query. someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the only change to your code is to add: dojo.require("esri.IdentityManager"); var facils = new esri.layers.FeatureLayer("https://mydomain.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/secured/0",{     mode:esri.layers.FeatureLayer.MODE_ONDEMAND,     outFields:["*"] }); ...

good question; the only way i've been able to generate valid json to load into mobile content server is to create web map on arcgis online, then view the json of the web map. I copy/paste the json structure into the mobile content server, which can then be browsed to on iPad. The way I understand is that all layers you put into arcgis online have to be in WGS84, so I assume the same holds true for the mobile content server, but I could be wrong. Mobile content server capabilities are limited to what can be achieved in arcgis online given my workflow. I havn't been able to find documentation on how to hand-craft valid json for the mobile content server, outside of using arcgis online. IMO, the mobile content server in server v10 is under developed, and hard to find info about. I'd look forward to future development in 10.1 on this portion of server. ... View more

https://domain.com/arcgis/rest/services/service1/FeatureServer <--doesn't work in AGO (never ending username/pass box) unless a token is generated and appended to the end, like so https://domain.com/arcgis/rest/services/service1/FeatureServer?token=xyz Used the above token method and symbolized, organized, config'd pop-ups ect in basic map viewer. Viewed resulting json data structure of AGO map and moved it to our mobilecontent server . After publishing the json map to mob. content server, I removed the tailing ?token= from the rest end point URL's. Connected to/viewed map on ESRI iPad app, and got a 'sign in to view this layer' box, so I did...........and it worked! same exact rest end point, consumed by a dif. client (ESRI app for iOS) and it works. ...

Hi Dan, A database connection is made for each ArcGIS Server instance (ArcSOC.exe) that is created for the service(s).  The min and max number of instances can be set by right-clicking on the service > Service Properties > Pooling tab.  By default, the minimum number of instances is set to 1 and the maximum is set to 2.  Therefore, when you start the service 1 connection is made to the SDE geodatabase. By default, an instance is created as Pooled.  This means when a request (ie pan/zoom in web app) is made to the service, an instance is taken from the pool, and then returned when the request is over. Once another request is made, say from another web app, that same instance can be used for that service request.  So, multiple requests will need to be made at the same time in order for another instance to be created, thus creating another connection to the SDE geodatabase.  This will not exceed the maximum number of instances, so by default a service can never exceed two connections to the geodatabase unless this paramter is increased.  If the max number of instances is exceeded, the client will have to wait until an instance is returned to the pool before their request is returned. Say the max instances of a service is set to two and both are being used, creating two connections to the SDE geodatabase.  Then one of the users is finished accessing the service. The second SDE connection will remain until the idle time expires (set within the Services Properties > Pooling tab).  Once the idle time expires, the instance will be removed from the server and the connection deleted from the SDE geodatabase. thanks for the reply. Now I see why the max. # of instances is set to 2 by default. total connections to personal SDE gdb = 3; ArcSOC gets 2, one left for local editing in desktop envir. ... View more

David, Dan, What version of ArcGIS Server are you running? Was it working before and stopped, like maybe after you upgraded? Thanks Mike mine is a brand new install (hardware bundle) from esri that we received 2 wks ago. Not sure how to tell what SP is loaded, but I know for sure it's v10 EDIT: just found the patchfinder.exe for identifying what SP you have...bottom of this page. It doesn't display any SP info, just displays: ArcGIS Server 10 - GIS services ArcGIS Server 10 - Web Applications So...i'm downloading/installing SP4 right now ... View more

I had the same problem today.  I found that using the token parameter on my map service URL worked. 1. Create token on behalf of the user identity with Identifier set to http://www.arcgis.com 2. Include that token value on the Map Service URL that is being added to an ArcGIS.com map. Example URL with token as a parameter: http://arcgisserver.domain.name/ArcGIS/rest/services/mySecureService/MapServer?token=6xgjHf9MIcnI1u87Mfw4is_h4zk2hg8yniTclu9TpwMWw0e5E_3tPxDAcXsStl6hsE2Jw2T0dn1SbqxLliJzQQ.. same problem here; secured GIS service using SqlServer db for users/roles; connection to services is https through reverse proxy. When I attempt to "add from web" and specify my secured service, I get the username/password prompt, but every user/pass I enter is invalid. I was able to add the secured service via generating a token as mentioned above, but as soon as the token expires, we're back to square 1. Could is be a sqlserver user/pass store is the problem? Anyone have secured services (windows auth) in AGO? ... View more

thanks Jake, that makes sense, but I have a few more clarification q's: 1. setup 2 folders inside server root, folderA-view role, folderB-edit role 2. publish a map service into folderA, no feature access 3. put the same map service into folderB, but enable feature access All users in edit role will be able to make local copy of feature data, edit it, then synchronize changes with server? Data that I add to the map, prior to publishing...does it need to be data from an SDE gdb? If so, I assume the sql-server instance would not necessarily need to be open to the internet for direct-editing as described in my 1st post? thanks!! ... View more

any way to define a query for a shapefile that's been uploaded to the webmap? ... View more

hey mike- thanks again for your help! For a webapp newbie, it can get quite confusing, but the SW user conf. really summed things up: 1. Flex/Silverlight web viewer apps are free to download, they enable you to configure a custom website viewer in the language of your choosing. -the viewer connects to SERVICES only, so, you either have to use freely provided data/imagery services from ArcGIS online, OR have an installation of ArcGIS for Server 2. You can also create a basic map using the ArcGIS explorer or web viewer via ArcGIS Online. There is one slight advantage to using ArcGIS Online; you can upload .zipped shapefiles to your map. Otherwise, ArcGIS for Server is required. 3. If your not liking the ArcGIS Explorer or web view maps from ArcGIS online, you can create the share button while on the map, and use a template. This template can be downloaded to your local server and hosted, OR can remain on ArcGIS Online. ... View more
