Keep me signed in
I have anonymous guest access enabled for the public portion of my site. I have internal users with ArcGIS Enterprise provider sign in's - these users have more layer access. How can I configure my HTML5 viewer to keep users who sign in, signed in. Everyone complains about having to sign in all the time. I'm hoping there's a configuration that I'm missing. Thank you for any help!

I ended up creating a separate public and internal sites. First off, when HTML5 was slower, permissions slowed things even fuurther. Also, on our main site, we are using layer themes. Internally, these tend to be broken out by department, whereas the public doesn't know or care about our internal structure, and we have layer themes such as General Information, Capital Projects, Pavement, Parking...etc. that make more sense to the public. You start by just making a copy of your current site - how hard is that? You continue to use the same services, but now you remove all access barriers (permissions) to your public site. If the public shouldn't see it, remove it from the layer list. Once there, you could publish the pulic site. If you have enough layers, break them out by layer theme, or even create multiple copies of your site, and only include a subset of layers. That's beyond what we've done, but likely how I would do it now... 0 -
We also created a separate "Enhanced" site for the development community, where they can sign up, and we then provide access to our scanned documents (Final Maps, Improvement Plans, etc.). Except for some base layers, this site only has what is not on our public site, but that I want to make available via login to the public that needs to get to it. 0 -
Appreciate the responses, Mike! For me, creating multiple sites goes against the functionality provided that allows different permission levels on a site. I used to to just that, having multiple viewer sites, but I changed to many layer catalog sites w/permissions and a single viewer site. I'm thinking more along the lines of every other website ever been on, like Amazon. I can browse Amazon.com as anonymous, or I can sign in. Once I sign in, when I revisit the site, I don't have to sign in every single time. I'm seeking a "Remember Me" / cookie based solution or something along those lines. I don't need it to be "single sign-in" where it automatically signs me in based on my windows auth, but I would like it to remember me when I do enter my credentials. 0 -
Jamie,
I've nothing for you in regards to remembering the user. Interesting that we are going in completely opposite directions with our sites, though. I find that by simplifying the sites, they are both faster for the user, and easier to maintain.0
