Steve, you may want to check out the Configurable Map Viewer, the closest thing you'll currently find to a vanilla JavaScript API viewer template. It was written by some ex-Esri gurus, and has a GitHub site to boot. Rudy Stricklan

Steve, I appreciate the empathy . Compared to ArcGIS Online, Portal is sort of like a car valet key in reverse: the key opens the door, but you can't really go anywhere because you can't get it started.

Maybe I should have known that it was all too good to be true. A client organization wants to publish web apps created in their ArcGIS Server Advanced Portal environment to anonymous users (i.e., anybody with the URL link can view the web app). The web apps created by Portal’s Web Application Builder work fine inside the organization’s firewall. All contributing content (e.g., web maps), and the web apps themselves, are shared to Everyone. However, anonymous users outside the firewall cannot access the web app—the web app viewer starts up, but hangs on displaying any content. Fiddler lets me know that a resource that is directed internally cannot be accessed, and we can probably get this tracked down. But it got me thinking: maybe anonymous access to Portal-produced content really can’t happen at all. One thread on this forum from an Esri staffer sates that “it is worth noting that Portal is intended to be an internal solution. There may be some means to get this working for external clients and it might be technically possible. This is where AGOL comes in…” No doubt about AGOL, but one of the reasons the client went with Portal was to minimize those credits they were burning with AGOL. This 2015 UC Q&A exchange answered the question (I thought): “Portal for ArcGIS can be accessed by anonymous users and named users. The ArcGIS administrator can grant additional privileges to named users. For example, an administrator can grant a named user permissions to use content from a particular group in the portal or to create and share maps with others. The number of anonymous users that can access a portal is unlimited. The number of named users that can access a portal is defined by your Portal for ArcGIS Named User License. Use public web maps and web applications? Anonymous User: YES Named User: Yes” So the basic question is this: can web apps created by Portal’s Web Application Builder be consumed by anonymous users (provided proper permissions/ports/SSL/other-black-magic settings are correctly configured)? If “yes”, then we can surely struggle on to ultimately figure it out, but it would be helpful if there were a source reference that addresses anonymous user access configuration directly. Thanks to anyone who can shed light or empathy.

Yes, please, Joe: rudy.stricklan@mappingautomation.com. Thanks for the speedy response. I'm at the Esri Dev Summit at the moment, asking my usual list of embarrassing questions :-). You're not here also by any chance...? Rudy

Joe, like you I've experienced numerous problems with ArcSDE's vestigial feature dataset construct. If you're amenable, I'd like to establish correspondence with you outside of this forum to compare notes. We could then publish the shortcomings in this forum for other interested participants. Kind regards, Rudy Stricklan

Thank you, Jennifer. I was suspecting that AGOL has to be in the loop somehow. Do you know, then, if you can utilize Portal to access map services hosted by ArcGIS Server? Rudy Stricklan

Thanks, Robert. I have seen the discussion thread that you referenced, and it begins with the notice that the question has not been answered. I'm likewise still confused. So, out of the box, can WAB access map services hosted by ArcGIS Server or not? Sorry for the obtuseness.

Can Web AppBuilder access map services hosted by ArcGIS for Server? Or is WAB limited to accessing map services hosted by ArcGIS Online or Portal?
