The service account username and password which will be used to authenticate against any geoprocessing services executed from the server.
Heads Up! This is only required if the Geoprocessing Service is not shared with everyone, otherwise the applications will not be able to access the service.
Note: If using ArcGIS for Portal authorization, TDS will attempt to authenticate geoprocessing services through Portal as well. Therefore, you'll need to ensure that the "Geoprocessing Services Account Username/Password" is also a built-in ArcGIS Portal account. See the Configure Portal for ArcGIS topic for full details on setting up ArcGIS for Portal.
To Use:
- Enter the username and password for the account.
- Click Save.
The service account username and password which will be used to authenticate against any map services consumed from the server. This is required if the map service is secured and/or is using ArcGIS branch versioning. If you add multiple map services for the applications to use, this account must have access to them all. These credentials will be used to authenticate with Portal and then query ArcGIS server for the data.
To Use:
- Enter the username and password for the account.
- Click Save.
