ConvertWebMapToMapDocument Python Script With Secure Map Services

[ShaunWeston]

I've developed a python script for use in a web application, which works fine for public services, but does not work with secure services. I've setup some code in the script to hopefully handle secure services:

serverConnection is a variable, which holds the path to a user connection to the arcgis server

server = {}
server['SERVER_CONNECTION_FILE'] = serverConnection
result = arcpy.mapping.ConvertWebMapToMapDocument(webmapJSON, templateMxd, extra_conversion_options=server)

So I can publish it to server and print public map services, but secure services come back with this:

Unable to connect to map server at  ..."},{"type":"esriJobMessageTypeInformative","description":"Layer \"Licences\": Unable to connect to map server at http://gis.mstn.govt.nz/arcgis/rest/services/RegulatoryAndInspection/Licences/MapServer?token=I-eon3...


o I've setup the tokens to pass in a flex app and the tokens are HTTP Referrer (in fact I've tried lots of different token options but nothing works!). Why does it have this error?

is serverConnection file accessible to local user arcgis of ags?

Check out the sample in the extra_conversion_options parameter help in the ConvertWebMapToMapDocument help topic. You'll want something like this:

dict = {"SERVER_CONNECTION_FILE":r"Z:\share\ArcGIS2 on MyServer (user).ags"}
result = arcpy.mapping.ConvertWebMapToMapDocument(json, extra_conversion_options=dict)

Some things to check:
- Open the connection file in the catalog window in ArcMap and make sure you can see the secure service without being prompted for credentials.
- Make sure the connection file has "save username and password" checked on.
- If you are testing this as a GP service, make sure the server can see the path to the connection file.

I've tried all those suggestions and nothing works it just always shows the Unable to connect to map server error when I look in fiddler. I don't understand what the issue is the arcgis account can definitely see it and I'm using the administrator login/password, which is saved and can see the secured service when I look through ArcCatalog.

Ok it's something to do with the token as it works fine if I enter the credentials into IdentityManager (this is for a flex application), but just doesn't work with a token attached to the map service.

just checking - did you try what is mentioned in this help topic?

Do you able to add secured services to your python script? Thanks.
