We are about to embark on a project to implement Privileged Access Management (PAM) in order to improve the control, reporting and audit capabilities related to administrator/privileged accounts. This will include service level accounts that are used to run background tasks on our servers. Has anyone had any experience with the use of a PAM in relation to their enterprise GIS System? What impact has the PAM had on python scripts or other scripts that you might run using a service level account? Would appreciate any feedback you might have. Thanks, Alison

As a municipality we have a requirement that all our public facing websites must meet WCAG 2.0 AA compliance for accessibility. We would love to use the Hub but we are struggling to meet compliance. Is there any other counties, government agencies, or municipalities that are also struggling with this challenge? Thanks, Alison

We have made some small steps on this front. The first was to use ansible to roll out a patch to ArcGIS Server machines. You are correct in that Chef has been installed on a linux box. There have been some challenges with connecting to the Windows server where the commands are executed. The developer is going to be doing a short lunch and learn next week, so I should be able to provide more information at that time. Alison

We have the same problem here. We do not use portal but instead just ArcGIS Online. Did the privileges recently change? I am trying to follow the chart found on Configure ArcGIS Maps for Office—ArcGIS Maps for Office | ArcGIS to determine what I need to use. We want our users to geocode using our internal geocoders - and not one from Esri. This is the default geocoder for my profile on ArcGIS Online. Any suggestions appreciated, Alison

Jim, We have started down this path testing with ansible. As we are in a windows environment the developer is finding that the chef tools seem a lot simpler than ansible. Otherwise we are making progress. If you would like I can provide a bit of a review in about a month or so? Alison

GIS resides in our IT shop and we are looking standardizing with ansible for our application deployments. Knowing that Esri has created a number of cookbooks for chef we are wondering if anyone has tried to convert them to playbooks? If so, what kind of effort was involved? Is it best just to start from scratch? If there are any esri staff out there, do you know if there are any plans to release playbooks or is Esri married to chef? Thanks! Alison

Michael, I am heading to the UC this year. Would it be possible to meet up? I have some questions about WMX that I would love to get answered.

It would be great to be able to do a copy/paste with workflows (Ability to copy and paste in Workflow Manager ) but the best would be to be able to relax the requirement for all components be at the same version - WMX, Server, Desktop. We find that migrations in a large organization are often phased and our WMX users often end up being left behind as they wait for all the pieces to be migrated. Thanks, Alison

Have you tried using attribute assistant? Attribute Assistant toolbar - Attribute Assistant | ArcGIS Solutions We use it to autopopulate a number of fields. Alison

We have also created our own bassemap, but it is based on the original general pupose local basemap. We do get push back on this map as it does not have a high colour contrast, which is required as we work towards WCAG compliance. Clients tend to want to use open street map because of this. On another note, I just downloaded all the basemaps at the link above but the GeneralPurpose.mxd has been saved at a version higher than 10.3.1 so I am unable to open it. Would it be possible to lower the version on that .mxd? Thanks, Alison

It appears that the March 17 update has fixed my problem. I like the big red button to say that the addin is off. This should make my users happy. Attribute Assistant | ArcGIS Solutions

It appears that a reinstall of Workflow Manager for Server and relicensing of the application have fixed our problem. The problem may have originated from the fact that we clone our machines as part of our rollout procedure. By cloning the machine we get the software stack enabled quickly. There are a number of post clone tasks we complete to configure the machine, but there may have been something that we missed for Workflow Manager. Alison

We had a development environment that consisted of two servers(111 and 114) sitting behind an F5 (ie. http://geoQA). We had been using the WMX JavaScript Viewer application through this URL (http://geoQA/WMX) accessing a WMServer service that was running on both machines (111 and 114). We added a third server into the configuration by placing it in a site with one of the machines (added 115 into a site with 111). 111 has a web adaptor, 115 does not. With the servers in a site, we were able to successfully pass a request to the WMX Service and receive results. http://111/arcgis/rest/services/wmx/WMX_6/WMServer/community/users/drack?f=json&_ts=1465934620795 Unfortunately with the site configuration, when you hit the URL for the WMX Viewer, you receive various errors. Reviewing the requests in the back end we are seeing a variety of errors appearing. Sometimes it is a 400 error, sometimes it is more specific to the inability to recognise my user name for confirmation against the service. Can anyone confirm if there are any issues with using sites in ArcGIS Server and using WMX Services? Are we missing something in our server configuration? My apologies that I don't have more specific errors. We have removed the server from the site in order to get the application back up and running, so I can't send them out at this time. Thanks, Alison

So my suspicions from above were correct. I do need to update that value. It was much easier than I suspected. See below. UPDATE "WMX"."JTX_DATABASES" SET CONNECTION_PROPERTIES = '<PropertySet xsi:type=''typens:PropertySet'' xmlns:xsi=''http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'' xmlns:xs=''http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'' xmlns:typens=''http://www.esri.com/schemas/ArcGIS/10.3''><PropertyArray xsi:type=''typens:ArrayOfPropertySetProperty''><PropertySetProperty xsi:type=''typens:PropertySetProperty''><Key>DBCLIENT</Key><Value xsi:type=''xs:string''>oracle</Value></PropertySetProperty><PropertySetProperty xsi:type=''typens:PropertySetProperty''><Key>DB_CONNECTION_PROPERTIES</Key><Value xsi:type=''xs:string''>sde:oracle11g:egised4</Value></PropertySetProperty><PropertySetProperty xsi:type=''typens:PropertySetProperty''><Key>PROJECT_INSTANCE</Key><Value xsi:type=''xs:string''>SDE</Value></PropertySetProperty><PropertySetProperty xsi:type=''typens:PropertySetProperty''><Key>VERSION</Key><Value xsi:type=''xs:string''>SDE.DEFAULT</Value></PropertySetProperty><PropertySetProperty xsi:type=''typens:PropertySetProperty''><Key>USER</Key><Value xsi:type=''xs:string''>wmx</Value></PropertySetProperty><PropertySetProperty xsi:type=''typens:PropertySetProperty''><Key>PASSWORD</Key><Value xsi:type=''xs:string''>biglongstringwhichmeansnothingtoanyone</Value></PropertySetProperty><PropertySetProperty xsi:type=''typens:PropertySetProperty''><Key>AUTHENTICATION_MODE</Key><Value xsi:type=''xs:string''>DBMS</Value></PropertySetProperty></PropertyArray></PropertySet>' WHERE DB_NAME = 'ED4_ind_ora11';

We have finally upgraded our development and production environments to 10.3.1 and this problem has become more urgent. Just hoping someone out there might have some suggestions. At the moment the only workaround is to manually update our development environment workspace properties using WMX Administrator every Monday morning. Any ideas out there? Alison
