Security Configuration

f

The response format. The default response format is html.

Values: html | json | pjson

allowedAdminAccessIPs

A comma separated list of client machine IP addresses that are allowed access to ArcGIS Server. This can be used as an additional security measure to prevent unauthorized access to the site.

allowDirectAccess

A Boolean that indicates whether a user with administrator privileges can access the server through port 6080. If true, all users with administrative access can access the Administrator Directory and ArcGIS Server Manager through port 6080. If false, users in the identity store cannot access the server through port 6080; users must access the site through ArcGIS Web Adaptor. The default value is true.

Before disabling administrative access on port 6080, ArcGIS Server must be configured to use web tier authentication (WEB_ADAPTOR) and at least one user in the identity store must have administrator privileges to the site. The primary site administrator account can administer the site through port 6080.

To fully disable access on port 6080, you can optionally disable the primary site administrator account. If ArcGIS Server Manager becomes unavailable or the web server cannot authenticate users who have administrator privileges, you cannot administer the site. To recover this site, re-enable the primary site administrator account and connect to the site through port 6080 with this account.

Values: true | false

authenticationMode

Specifies the authentication mode used by ArcGIS Server. When ArcGIS Server is federated with Portal for ArcGIS, this property can be included and set to ARCGIS_PORTAL_TOKEN. The default value is ARCGIS_TOKEN.

Values: ARCGIS_TOKEN | ARCGIS_PORTAL_TOKEN | WEB_ADAPTOR_AUTHENTICATION

authenticationTier

Specifies the tier at which requests to access GIS services will be authenticated. It is recommended that you do not modify these values using the Administrator Directory. Instead, use ArcGIS Server Manager to configure web tier authentication or use the Portal for ArcGIS website to federate ArcGIS Server with your portal.

Values: WEB_ADAPTOR | GIS_SERVER | ARCGIS_PORTAL

allowInternetCORSAccess

Introduced at 10.9.1. A Boolean that controls the value of the Access-Control-Allow-Private-Network response header in a CORS preflight request to a REST service URL. This property supports the Private Network Access web specification (previously CORS-RFC1918), which aims to restrict websites accessed over a private network from making internal cross-origin requests.

Values: true | false

HSTSEnabled

A Boolean that indicates whether HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is being used by the site. To enable this property, the Protocol property must be set to HTTPS.

Values: true | false

httpEnabled

A Boolean that indicates whether the site is accessible over HTTP.

Values: true | false

Protocol

Specifies the HTTP protocol to be used for communication to and from the ArcGIS Server site. If set to HTTP, all communication to and from the site will be over HTTP, with HTTPS communication will be unavailable. If set to HTTP_AND_HTTPS, users and clients can use either HTTP or HTTPS to connect to the site. If set to HTTPS, all communication to and from the site will be over HTTPS. Calls made using HTTP will be redirected to use HTTPS.

When an ArcGIS Server site is created, all communication to and from the site is sent over HTTP, which is not secure. This means that your credentials sent over an internal network or the Internet are not encrypted and can be intercepted. To prevent the interception of communication, it's recommended that you configure ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Server Manager (if installed) to enforce Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). When you create a site, a warning-level message in the logs recommends that you update the communication protocol of the site to use SSL.

Values: HTTP | HTTP_AND_HTTPS | HTTPS

roleStoreConfig

Connection information about the currently active role store.

securityEnabled

A Boolean that indicates whether security is enabled for a GIS service. The default value is true.

Values: true | false

sslEnabled

A Boolean that indicates whether the site is accessible over HTTPS (SSL). The default value is false.

Values: true | false

virtualDirsSecurityEnabled

A Boolean that indicates whether the server's virtual directories are secure and require authentication. When this property is set to true, accessing the content of secured services in the arcgisoutput, arcgisjobs, and arcgisinput directories over HTTP will require user authentication. These same permissions are applied to the server directories associated with the service. If the service is publicly available, the directories are also publicly available. The default value is false.

Values: true | false

portalProperties
