ArcGIS Portal Reader Problem: Does not appear to be an ArcGIS Portal Instance

Hi @morijlumos it appears that you are using incorrect URL

@rahulsharma That was the first URL I tried, I have tried many variations. If it helps at all here is the log.

OK, I did get it to connect to Portal using the NTLM Criteria and my user/pass, but I am receiving another error regarding, Token Required. I can log into the portal by clicking on the link in the error log. I am not understanding why "Token Required" login is not seeing the portal, but this method is and it is not generating a token?

Hi @morijlumos,

Can you confirm authentication type for your portal is it NTLM or SAML?

Hi @morijlumos

I am experiencing the same issue, using ArcGIS Portal 10.6.1 and FME 2019.1.3.

I also noticed a possible discrepancy in the FME Help about the Portal URL. The Help states that "The portal URL specified as the dataset is the URL that has the generateToken REST API endpoint. "

Which in my case would be: "http://ntgisb04.dgmntsap.capgemini.nl/arcgisportal/sharing/rest/generatetoken"

In the FME log I read

Message: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='ntgisb04.dgmntsap.capgemini.nl', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /arcgisportal/sharing/rest/generatetoken/sharing/generateToken?f=json

So FME added "/sharing/generateToken" to a specified portal URL that already included that string, so the resulting URL is invalid of course.

When I however specify as portal URL just "http://ntgisb04.dgmntsap.capgemini.nl/arcgisportal/" the log mentions "/arcgisportal/sharing/generateToken?f=json", which misses the "/rest" and points to an unsupported version of the API.

Any suggestions what's going on here based on your experience?
