We want to perform a few geoprocessing tasks not possible with just FME Transformers.

Two examples:

Overwrite a geocoding service 
Create a vector tile and then use Replace Web Layer

​@germang Did you make any progress on this, say by using the argis module?

I had to use other authentication methods, but they are hardcoded in the Python code.

It would be much preferable to be able to use traditional FME web connections instead.
