Hi list.

I have next to no knowledge of what OAuth2 entails, other than it being a security protocol.

A customer wants to use OAuth2 when exposing a WFS and/or an Esri Feature Service to us, and we want to use FME (Server) to fetch the data.

Both desktop and server have a facility for custom "web connections", and here you can create both "Esri ArcGIS Portal" (w/OAuth2) and a straight up "OAuth2 Service" connections, but how do I utilize them when reading data ?

Are there any in-depth resources available that covers this area ?

Cheers

Lars I

Hello @Lars I Nielsen​ ,

I believe FME is capable of authenticating WFS. This example goes through creating a web connection using OAuth2 authentication. OAuth2 is a security protocol which authorizes the activity between two applications using access tokens. Specific to Esri's ArcGIS Portal, try taking a look through this post. We also have some documentation which may help you get started.

Here to help,

Kailin
