The various products that GEO Jobe builds to assist clients in managing their ArcGIS organizations are powerful tools that are capable of accessing, editing, copying, and even deleting all of an organization’s content. As such, our products always include checking for a user’s credentials before displaying any a user must grant access to their credentials (or authenticate) before being able to retrieve information or allowing any actions to be performed through the use of GEO Jobe products.
There are two different methods for authentication when setting up an ArcGIS Organization - OAuth and IWA.
In OAuth (current version is OAuth 2.0)means the users will have a , our products will redirecta user to a sign in prompt when authenticating access to ArcGIS account credentials. Here, the user’s username and password specific to the ArcGIS Organization . They will be prompted to enter those credentials when they try to sign into their orgmust be provided. An access token is then granted to the user to access ArcGIS organization content (associated with the login credentials) through the use of GEO Jobe products. ArcGIS will NEVER provide important account details to GEO Jobe products, such as username settings or passwords.
