Hi,
I am trying to access a WMS service hosted on ARCGIS server. This
service is hosted on the secure server so url of the WMS service is
https://<servername>/....
For every layer I add in my openlayers script, it asks for a user name
and password.
How could I pass the username and password information along with the
url?
I tried https://<username>:<password>@<servername>/.... ; however I get
the error as security problem occurred whenever I drag the map. I do not
see any layer from the service in the map.
Since mine is a web application, the end users can not enter enter user
name and password everytime they open this map page.
With ARCGIS93REST, there was a workaround to not to expose token to
have a local proxy service on the local server and pass the service
requests through the local service appending token. With WMS where
authentication information needs to be entered, I could not figure it
out how to avoid that login window for every layer load.
Thanks,
