What version of Flex Viewer are you using? I am assuming you are doing all of this through a popup config file and not Application Builder? We are in the process of updating documentation but in case you may have missed it, there was an additional topic created for popups in 3.0 App Builder, http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/index.html#/Configuring_pop_ups_in_application_builder/01m30000004p000000/. The concept for working with the Description tag remains the same. ... View more

I am also using IIS basic/windows authentication to secure my FV 3.0 application. I do not have any security on my services because I'm also trying to avoid my external users from having to supply their credentials for every secured service in the web application. At the same time, I need the services to be secure without having the credentials prompt pop-up. I am not working with a proxy page so my scenario is only #1 and #2 from the list above. Is there a way to disable the prompt with secured services without using a proxy page? Thanks Normally you are prompted for the credential which generate the token needed to unlock the services. The user/pass information is configured and stored by the administrator via Manager. If you do not want your users to have to log in to access specific services, you may be able to  control which users/roles have access to what services through other means like Integrated Windows Authentication or even using a custom Security provider. The first option works with the user/roles that are managed directly in MS Windows Active Directory server. This way you can take advantage of the accounts already on your network. You would need to set up the permissions to your services based on these accounts. There is a tutorial on this at http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/Securing_web_services_with_Integrated_Windows_Authentication/015400000517000000. I would suggest taking a look at the 10.1 security section on the online resources Help section. They have a pretty good description of the different options you can choose. You may also want to ask some of these security-type questions on the main ArcGIS Server 10.1 -Windows or General discussion forum as well. HTH, ... View more

Heather - that did the job!  A couple of queries around that though - I ran that change on a version of the viewer code where I'd already made the additional references to IdentityManager.instance.enabled = false as documented previously in this discussion.  If I understand correctly those modifications should no longer be required if it's picking up the proxy info correctly.  Is that right?  Secondly presumably this will be corrected in a future release of the compiled viewer? Thanks for all your help Best Regards Simon Excellent, I'm glad to hear it. As for your questions...You should not need those previous modifications you made. Go ahead and remove it and see how it goes. And for the second question, yes this has been marked as a bug and should be fixed shortly. I would keep an eye on GitHub where we keep the source and you can check for any recent check-ins. Thanks for helping us troubleshoot this. ... View more

Hi Simon, Just wanted to keep you updated. I'm still looking into this. Hopefully should have something soon. Thanks ... View more

Heather - here are the files.  One other thing, which you may have guessed anyway, all access to our server is via SSL Hi Simon, Thanks. Let me get something set up on this end and see what I can figure out. I'll be in touch. Heather ... View more

Heather, Thanks for your response.  We're already using the updated proxy.ashx page and been using it without issue with Flex Viewer 2.5.  As you suggested I created a basic sample app and this accessed the secure service via the proxy credentials without issue.  In answer to the detailed questions in your first post 1/ Yes 2/ Yes 3/ Yes - see previous post for setup of proxy.config 4/ I wish this were true! Thanks a lot Hi Simon, Thanks for the update. This helps narrow things down. So it does sound like the proxy is working as it should using the updated proxy file since you can do it without any problems directly in an API sample. Let me see if we can try and repro it on our end here. If possible, could you attach the proxy.zip you are using (including the ashx and config files)? Thanks. ... View more

Hi Simon, After looking at this further, I remembered others having issues (not just in the Flex API) using the proxy page with dynamic tokens. The actual proxy.ashx file needed to be updated to allow this. Could you try using this updated proxy page instead? See if it makes any difference. Let us know how this goes as this should be updated as well in any documentation. Thanks, Heather ... View more

Hi Simon, What you are trying to do is pretty common. Just to make sure that we have it correct: 1) You are accessing your Flex Viewer app via a asp login, I'm assuming you are using IIS authentication to access this? 2) You then are trying to work with some secure services. You do NOT want your users prompted for credential info correct? 3) You have a proxy page configured to point to these services with the servername and info passed in via the proxy config? 4) If all this is correct, the info in the proxy should provide the credential info without having to be prompted by the Identify Manager. This makes me wonder if there is something else going on with the proxy configuration. In order to try and narrow this down, let's take the Flex Viewer completely out of the equation as it just adds more variables when troubleshooting. Could you please try using something as basic as a sample web API sample and see if you can access your layers in that. I'm not sure exactly what type of layers you are working with but there are plenty of simple samples that you could copy/paste and change out the layer URL to that of yours. In addition to this, just make sure that you are also pointing to your proxy config file in the code. You would do this by setting the proxyURL property to the location of your proxy.ashx file. For example <esri:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer url="https://ServerName/ArcGIS/rest/services/Secure/USASecured/MapServer" proxyURL="proxy.ashx" />   ... View more

Thanks for pointing this out. The Viewer documentation is currently being revamped with new/more content. This was not initially added but should be. We'll make certain to add this information to avoid anymore confusion. Thanks. ... View more

Hi Susan, You mention, "....When I try the flexviewer as localhost the app shows up but know services.I must have something messed up it seems the server does not go throught the webadapter to get too the widgets..." Are you receiving any errors when running this app? You state you can see the actual application but no services. What happens when you run this through a web debugger? Any messages when trying to access the services internally? I know you mentioned it appears to only occur when you try to access it from within your network is that correct? Are you able to take any of the samples and replace the service URL to your own? Do they work then? I know, a lot of questions and testing, but it can help narrow down where the problem may be stemming from. Thanks, ... View more

Hi - sorry for the delay, to answer your question, unfortunately...no you cannot use ArcGIS Server to reproject your existing WMS layer info to something else. There are methods in Server to allow reprojection of data but not for the scenario you are describing. ... View more

So I guess the question would be exactly what are you referring to when you state "proxy wms?" Do you mean use ArcGIS Server to reproject the original WMS service? Are you talking about creating a WMS service through ArcGIS Server using it's WMS capabilities? ... View more
