GEO Jobe Products | Data and Security FAQ

Regarding Authenitcation

Admin Tools Enterprise, Backup My Org, and Clean My Org all run as services on your own secure servers, so no outside traffic is needed. For Admin Tools Enterprise, all authentication is done directly from the ArcGIS organization, and operations are run from the administrator's browser. An index of items, users, and groups are stored as temporary caching data, along with app settings in the MongoDB database also hosted on your own server. BackupMyOrg and Clean My Org are also run from your own secure server and the managed identities to access the ArcGIS organization are stored on the MongoDB installation on your own server. The client web interface is accessed via a port running a node server. Settings and cache information are also stored in MongoDB. For customers that need extended security to meet STIG requirements such as encryption at rest, MongoDB Enterprise can also be purchased separately to use as a replacement for the standard MongoDB Community version.

Do GEO Jobe Products for ArcGIS store or access my username and password?

  • As per Esri’s best practices, GEO Jobe Products for ArcGIS leverages OAuth 2.0 to generate a token which represents your session and is used to commit actions against the platform on your behalf. Additionally, our products support connections through Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA). Please note that GEO Jobe Products installed on-prem will provide an (opt-in) feature for the to store credentials on the database as an encypted string. This is only used for the automatic refresh of the login token.
  • GEO Jobe's products use OAuth 2.0 through Esri's REST API (already part of their existing Esri Enterprise environment) so the port is 80 if installed for HTTP and 443 if installed for HTTPS with SSL.

Does GEO Jobe have access to my account if I use their products?
