Prerequisites for Creating a Connection
You must satisfy the following prerequisites to create a connection with the ArcGIS (ESRI) Adapter:
- Know the ArcGIS base URL.
For example:
https://host:port/webadaptername
If the user has configured the web adapter, the web adapter name can be used. The user can also provide the web adapter name as
arcgis
. - Understand the ArcGIS Generate Token Flow.
If you are using the ArcGIS Generate Token Flow security policy, you must have the ArcGIS Enterprise portal credentials or ArcGIS Server credentials to complete the necessary fields on the Connections page.
- Know the Access Token URI.
The generate token operation creates an access token in exchange for user credentials, allowing clients to access secured ArcGIS Server services. This request must be made over HTTPS using the POST method, with user credentials included in the body of the POST request. See Generate token flow.
