Windows Security

Steps to use Windows Security for Authentication:

  1. Add Roles to mimic your Active Directory roles.

    Heads Up! These new roles in App Manager must have the exact name of the Active Directory role/group, so that you will be able to assign application privileges to that role.

  2. Assign Privileges to those roles.
  3. Enable Windows Authentication within Internet Information Services (IIS).
  4. If any of your Data Sources will be authenticating with ArcGIS Portal, you will need to configure Portal for ArcGIS.
  5. Adjust the following Security Settings as desired:
    • Anonymous Access Role Name - this will set the role any anonymous users will receive when accessing any of your Rizing Geospatial web applications.
    • Auto-managed Role Privileges - if this is checked App Manager will automatically assign role privileges based on Rizing Geospatial's suggested privilege levels and the defined roles you select below that setting.
    • Admin and Standard User's Group Roles - if you checked Auto-managed role privileges, here you can select the Role that represents the "administrators" group and the "standard user's" group. When you install any new applications, these groups will automatically be assigned the privileges set for the selected roles.
    • New User's Default Role - if you checked the Auto-managed Role Privileges option, here you can select the Role that will be assigned to all new users.
  6. On the Authentication page, check Windows Security, click Save and then click Change to confirm your changes.
