was able to get 'connection successful' after c/p the file mentioned above, and I can view the roles in /manager, but I cannot view users? the loading bar just spins. Is this the bug 'successful connection' when the string is actually wrong? No, this is this bug http://support.esri.com/en/bugs/nimbus/role/beta10_1/TklNMDgxMjI1

I agree it would be nice to be able to group feature layers please promote the idea on ideas.arcgis.com http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaView?id=087E00000004H27IAE

http://support.esri.com/en/bugs/nimbus/TklNMDgwODM2 1. Stop the ArcGIS Server service 2. Copy 'javaw.exe.config' from : C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\server\framework\runtime\jre\bin\ 3. Paste into: C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\server\bin 4. Rename 'javaw.exe.config' to 'ArcSOC.exe.config' 5. Start ArcGIS Server service. It should now work. That does work (as ESRI support managed to tell me about an hour before you did!). Unfortunately we still experienced another error after making this change. Specifally covered by another bug with another workaround http://support.esri.com/en/bugs/nimbus/role/beta10_1/TklNMDgxMjI1 good news is that both bugs are fixed at 10.1 SP1 If you still have issues you should be aware of a third bug that shows the connection is successful when it isn't. Unfortunately I can't find the reference for the quoted bug NIM084058 Thanks for support from all

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I'm working through it with ESRI support at the moment and will post a resolution when we find one. Cheers Simon

We're trying to connect to our previous 10.0 Security Store following the instructions here http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Using_a_10_0_NET_SQL_Server_security_store/0154000005pn000000/ We've moved the sql database onto the same machine running Server 10.1 and the natemtping to change the identitstore connection. Have tried multiple permutations of the JSON strings proposed on the help page but keep geting the same error message every time for which I find no reference in the help The connection name 'SQLConnString' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. Can someone confirm whether they've had success with this connection syntax? What is the correct syntax for a locally hosted SQL instance? Any specific permissions that need to be granted on the database (e.g. which users should have access)? any help appreciated Thanks Simon

It would be great to be able to group separate feature layers in the flex viewer layer list, similar to having a group layer in ArcMap or a dynamic map service rather than just a basic list of all feature layers. I would imagien this being managed through an additional label on the layer tag in the config.xml (e.g. group="Recreation")

Joe, The programming is really pretty straightforward - literally editing 3 lines and the ESRI documentation for getting the development environment setup is pretty good. Of course you do need Flashbuilder - I don't believe there's an open-source equivalent of any kind. Normally in the spirit of GIS community I'd be willing to share a copy of our updated compiled viewer but as you work for a competitor I have to draw the line in case it comes back to haunt me. Best of luck with getting up and running Cheers Simon

Unfortunately Joe - you will need to compile a custom flex viewer from the source code with the changes documented above. If you want to use the Edit Widget you may also need to make the change on the forum I linked ot further up. They're very small changes in the code but there is no other workaround right now

I'm working with the Identify Widget 3.0 and experiencing some unusual behaviour compared to what I would expect from the XML configuration guide. I currently have three separate dynamic operational layers in the map and six basemaps (addarcgisonlinebasemaps is false) All of the operational layers are secured and running through a proxy. Scenario 1 I set up IdentifyWidget.xml with: 1. excludebasemaps = false 2. no proxymapservice defined 3. layers onlythese="false" Output: Prompted for secure service sign-in details when running identify widget - returns results from all operational layers and active basemap layer Scenario 2 I set up IdentifyWidget.xml with: 1. excludebasemaps = false 2. proxymapservice defined for each three operational layers (For reference: also works with only one layer defined as long as they share credentials) 3. layers onlythese="false" Output: NOT prompted for secure service sign-in details when running identify widget - returns results from all operational layers and active basemap layer Scenario 3 I set up IdentifyWidget.xml with: 1. excludebasemaps = true 2. proxymapservice defined for each three operational layers (For reference: also works with only one layer defined as long as they share credentials) 3. layers onlythese="false" Output: NOT prompted for secure service sign-in details when running identify widget - Only returns results from ONE of the three operational layers (the uppermost one - i.e. listed last in main config.xml) I've also tested with layers only these="true". This will still only return results from the uppermost operational layer. Anyone else seen anything like this occurring?

Thanks Sarthak - that fixed the issue

‎07-10-2012

Great question! I don't know the answer as we haven't tested that yet on our 10.1 testing server but definitely somethign we'll be interested in. Please post up how you get on with that cheers Simon

Joseph, what basically happens when the proxy is working is this: 1. User goes to the viewer web page and is prompted for their login credentials (in your case windows but type really doesn't matter) 2. When their credentials are accepted the viewer opens and loads the services and map configuration as listed in config.xml 3. Let's say you have MapServiceA in your viewer which is a secured service (in your config.xml you have specified the location of the proxy page in the httpproxy tag and selected useproxy="true" in the layer xml tag) 4. The application makes a request to the proxy page to access MapServiceA (it does not transfer any user credentials) 5. The proxy page checks if the requested url can be accessed from that site (proxy.config url setting) 6. In order to successfully make the request it needs a token for the service - it uses the username and password in the proxy.config to do this. Therefore you only need ONE set of user credentials in the proxy.config - these can be from a different identity store from the application login. 7. If the user credentials are ok it generates a token to successfully access the secured service So you don't need to worry about multiple user logins in the proxy.config. This page can only be accessed after login to your application so the user has already proved their credentials

Joseph - it sounds like you may be using ArcGIS Server 10.1 as you refer to the built in identity store. If you are I'm not sure exactly how this works at 10.1 but I presume it's very similar. Earlier in this forum you'll see I attached a file proxy.zip. This contains both the ashx file (default from ESRI) and the proxy.config. As shown in this proxy.config example <serverUrl url="https://MYDOMAIN/ArcGIS/rest/services" //This works at the root level but can also be set to individual folders or services if preferred matchAll="true" //This indicates that all sub-folders/services from the url above can be accessed if the credentials match - set this to false if the url is set to a specific service only dynamicToken="true" //This indicates that it will create the token at runtime based on the username and password userName="MYUSER" //valid username with access to the service(s) required - does not need to be the same as the application login - need to be an identity that can access the service password="MYPASSWORD" //password for this username host="MYHOSTNAME"> </serverUrl>

As an addition to this - I have seen changes to behaviour with different widgets enabled. With only edit, locate, draw and print enabled then when I open edit it actualyl cycles through permission requests for the three dynamic map services by name

‎07-09-2012

All - I have opened a new thread for a related issue with the secure services dialog popping up unexpectedly with the edit widget. Please follow progress here http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/61828-Opening-Edit-Widget-causes-secure-service-challenge
