Purpose
This article step-by-step guide to creating App ID ( Client ID ) and configuring their redirects. This will be important when configuring authentication for your ArcGIS Organization and GEO Jobe’s products.
Step-By-Step Instructions
The steps will differ depending on whether you are using ArcGIS Online or Enterprise. Please select the appropriate expandable content arrow that best corresponds to your organization type:
Please Note: This will only need to be completed once, as each of our products can run off of the Application that is created.
Sign into your ArcGIS Organization.
From the “Content” tab, navigate to the "My Content" sub-tab.
Select “New Item” → “Application”
Creating your application
Select the "Application" option in the “Add an application” prompt.
Please select the “Other Application” option
You item can be named whatever you would like.
Provide your application with tag names that will assist with locating your application item in the future.
We recommend any product names associated with this item ( i.e. “Admin Tools”, “Backup My Org”, etc.) and “GEO Jobe”. This will help if the item ever needs to be found in the future.
Click “Add Item” when done.
Go to the "Settings" Tab of your newly created application.
Scroll to the "Application" section in “Settings”.
The “Application” option is right option underneath your Organization name at the top.
Next locate the “Client ID” portion.
If you are using Admin Tools for ArcGIS, this is what will need to be sent to GEO Jobe for us to create your build.
For our other products, you will need to use this when setting up an identity for this ArcGIS Organization in the “Managed Identities” screen of that product.
Configure the Redirect URLs:
Finally, you will need to setup the Redirect URLs. You can do this by selecting the “+” icon and adding the redirect. Once completed they will be automatically saved.
The Redirect URLs should be where you are hosting the products in your environment. This is the URL users will go to when accessing your instances of the products.
Please add the address you will use to access your GEO Jobe products to your Redirect URL list. Ensure that ‘/' is not included at the end of your domain as this could limit the software’s ability to connect to your ArcGIS Organization.
The Redirect URL will need to be exact. If you’re using https instead of http, or a different port, those will need to be included.
