Hi, 

It appears that you cannot properly load and use kml and kmz files that are not on the public internet (the new features handle kml video mentions this, i though they must be kidding)

so, i can display this kmz properly as it is on the public internet:

http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/gis/alp/AdministrativeForest.kmz

however the exact same kmz will not display properly from this address, which in our intranet in the site virtural directory:

https://ilmorso3gi5vm.blm.doi.net/Geocortex/Essentials/REST/sites/Jeff_Nighbert_test/viewers/BLM_Template_HTML5/virtualdirectory/Resources/kml/administrativeforest.kmz

If this is true, its a serious limitation??  Do I have this right, can you only use kml and kmz that have been published to the public web?

can someone try this?

    Hi Jeff,

    Unfortunately, you are correct that a KML/KMZ file must be published to the public Internet in order to function properly with Geocortex Essentials. This is due to the way that Esri's JavaScript API works with KML layers: it relies on a utility service (utility.arcgis.com ) that needs to read and process the KML data. Recently, Esri has added the ability to support KML hosted on private networks if you have Portal for ArcGIS. There is a new configuration option in the API that allows overriding the URL of the KML utility service to one that is locally hosted in Portal instead. I have created an improvement request in our issue tracking system to add support for this new setting. For your reference, the issue ID is GE-6842.
