Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up FME to geocode addresses using a custom locator hosted in ArcGIS Portal, but I’ve hit a roadblock.

In the Geocoder transformer, one of the parameters is the Authentication Type, where I selected Web Service (see attached image). From there, I’m required to create a web connection. This is where I’m having trouble. 

I’ve been following this guide, which explains how to connect FME to an ArcGIS Portal locator. The guide seems to focus on locators tied to an "Application" type item, but our locator is a hosted locator, not an application.  

Here’s where I’m stuck:  

• I’m using the **Geocoder** transformer in FME and trying to configure it to connect to our hosted locator.  
• The guide asks for information like a client ID and client secret, which seem to apply to an Application type item in Portal. Since our locator isn’t an application, I’m not sure what to provide for those fields.  

Can someone confirm:  

1. Is it even possible to use a hosted locator from ArcGIS Portal with FME’s Geocoder transformer?  
2. If it is, am I following the right guide, or is there another way to do this?  
3. Any tips on what I should be doing differently to get this set up?  

Thanks in advance! I’d really appreciate any advice or pointers.
