Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the System task, and click the Roles view.
  2. Select the Map Manager role, and click the Properties tab.
  3. In the Map providers section, click Add an item ().
  4. In the Map providers dialog box, select Esri from the Provider drop-down list.
  5. In the License field, enter your ArcGIS license code.
    NOTE: The LITE license is the free version and all the functionality required from Esri. There is no need for the Basic or Standard licensing.
  6. Click Validate.
    If you entered the correct information, the license status changes to Valid.
  7. Add an Esri ArcGIS server:
    1. In the Map providers dialog box, click Add an item () under Configure servers.
    2. In the Add server dialog box, enter the Name of the ArcGIS server.
    3. In the Server URL field, enter the URL of the ArcGIS server.
      Use one of the following URL formats, depending on the type of server you are using:
      • Web portal server: https://<PortalName>.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest
      • Online map server: http://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/<MapName>/MapServer
      • Online or on-premise server: http://<ServerName>:<PortNumber>/arcgis/rest/services
    4. If the server requires authentication, enable Use authentication and enter your credentials.
    5. If the server offers token-based authentication, enable Use token authentication to exchange user credentials for a token that is used to authenticate all future requests for secured content on the server.
    6. Click Add.
  8. As needed, add additional ArcGIS servers to view more layers on your map.
  9. If your license includes geocoding services, turn the Geocoding option on.
    If you are using your own geocoding service, enter its specific address in the URL field.

    With this feature enabled, Map Manager can convert a pair of latitude and longitude into a street address and vice versa. You can also search for a street address from the Maps task in Security Desk and zoom in to that address on the map.

  10. Click Save > Apply.
