Hi all,

I am trying to create a WMS service with the use of FME Server 2019.0.1. I have followed two tutorials:

- https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/19640/how-to-create-a-wms-service-using-fme-server.html

- https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1342/inspire-wms-demo.html

After following the tutorials, I am able to open the WMS service in the data inspector and in QGIS. In QGIS, I have to do an FME Server authentication. Otherwise I am not able to see the data provided by the WMS service. In ArcGIS Portal and ArcGIS Pro, I also try to add the WMS service. However, an error occurs. These software packages are not able to open my WMS service created with FME Server.

I think the errors occur, because of the token in the URL in the WMS service, for example: https://fmeserver.xxx.com/fmedatastreaming/Playground/GetCapabilities.fmw?&token=91dfc73aed4c80932296ba2116d4aabdcfd4b3ce. In the tutorial there is no information on these tokens and how to you use them in the xml of the webservice.

Is there anyone who has experience in creating a WMS service with FME Server 2019 and is able to communicate with the WMS in ArcGIS Portal of ArcGIS Pro?

Kind regards,

Niels

"token" is not a valid part of a WMS querystring so lots of things will not except it. If you create a WMS behind an Esri security that uses a token, most system won't be able to read that either, so this isn't an FME thing.

Here is some more info from the Esri point of view:

https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/publish-services/windows/wms-services.htm

ArcGIS Online and Portal, do not have the ability to deal with the "token" in the querystring.

https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/ogc.htm

So get rid of your token and use http basic! Going directly to your workbench at https://fmeserver.xxx.com/fmedatastreaming/Playground/GetCapabilities.fmw will pop a window for authentication which is http basic.

So when you add your link to a wms client, you just need to put the relevant username/password into the authentication into your client to access.

Cheers,

Todd
