[OpenLayers-Users] Tokens for secure ArcGIS Server layers

[David Wright]

Thanks David and Bart for your suggestions.  It is an interesting approach
to tap the WMS capability of ArcGIS Server services for use in OpenLayers.
I was looking for a way to hit the ArcGIS Service interface directly (for
best performance).  If I'm not mistaken, once you secure an ArcGIS Server
service then OGC capabilities (WMS< WCS, and KML) are not accessible since
ESRI's security is not part of the OGC spec.  I wound up following
Christopher Shmidt's xyz-esri.html example which covered my needs to work
with tiled map services, and to pass in the token value. Thanks Chris!

 

        function init(){

            OpenLayers.Util.onImageLoadError = function() {
this.style.display="none";}

            var layerExtent = new
OpenLayers.Bounds(-8037508.34,-8037508.34,8037508.34,8037508.34)

            map = new OpenLayers.Map( 'map', {'Extent': layerExtent} );

            layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.XYZ( "ESRI",

 
"http://mygisserver/ArcGIS/rest/services/mygisservice/MapServer/tile/${z}/${
y}/${x}?token=0000mytoken0000..",

                    {sphericalMercator: true} );

            map.addLayer(layer);

            map.zoomToExtent(map.Extent);

        }

Hello users,

 

Has anyone found a way to pass the token value associated with secured ESRI
ArcGIS Server Dynamic Map service layer in OpenLayers 2.8?

Its always passed in as a parameter "&token=mytokenvalue."

 

                        var agsDaynamicLayer = new
OpenLayers.Layer.AgsDynamic(

                                                                "i3
Nightlights (Dynamic)",

 
"http://myArcGISServer/ArcGIS/rest/services/myDynamicService/MapServer/Expor
t?",

                                                                {

 
LAYERS: 'show:0',

 
IMAGESR: '900913',

 
BBOXSR: '4326',

 
FORMAT: 'png',

 
TRANSPARENT: true,

                                                                },

                                                                {

 
isBaseLayer: false,

 
singleTile: true

                                                                }

                                                );

 

Many thanks,

 

-Dave
