Use VertiGIS Request Guard to restrict access to ArcGIS Server map services exclusively for  WebOffice 10.9 R4.  Technically, this is a Server Object Interceptor (SOI) that uses a key configurable in WebOffice 10.9 R4 to ensure that certain map services can only be accessed by  WebOffice 10.9 R4.

 

 

The required files can be found in WebOffice10.9R4-DVD  (..\WebOffice10.6R2-DVD\Software\VertiGIS_Request_Guard). Depending on the source type of the map service (ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap), the corresponding SOI must be activated at the specific map service:

 

•If the VertiGIS Request Guard is to be used on a card service based on an ArcGIS Pro project, the SOI from the folder Provider ArcGIS Pro must be activated on the card service. This folder contains the necessary files:
 
syn-soi-requestguard-ArcGISPro.soe                SOI that must be activated on the Portal.
syn-soi-requestguard-ArcGISPro.jar                        zipped configuration files of the SOI
 

•If the VertiGIS Request Guard is to be used on a card service based on an ArcMap project, the SOI from the folder Provider ArcMap must be activated on the card service. This folder contains the necessary files:
 
syn-soi-requestguard-ArcMap.soe                SOI that must be activated on the Portal.
syn-soi-requestguard-ArcMap.jar                zipped configuration files of the SOI

 

 

To use VertiGIS Request Guard properly, please follow the steps below:

 

1.Adding the SOI

Open ArcGIS Server Manager and navigate to the extensions under Site. Add the required SOIs (syn-soi-requestguard-ArcGISPro.soe and / or syn-soi-requestguard-ArcMap.soe) by clicking the Add Extension button:

 

 

 

 

2.Save the configuration file

Unpack the corresponding configuration files. (syn-soi-requestguard-ArcGISPro.jar oder syn-soi-requestguard-ArcMap.jar) and navigate in the unpacked folder to the subfolder configuration. Copy the file requestguard_config.json to the folder ..\arcgisserver\directories\WebOfficeSystem

 

 
 

 

3.Adaptation of the configuration file

Open the configuration file requestguard_config.json in a text editor (e.g. Notepad ++) and adjust the key value there, which should subsequently ensure that the use of ArcGIS card services is only to be made by  WebOffice 10.9 R4 whereby functionalities affected by this are defined right at the beginning. On the one hand the parameter name and on the other hand a corresponding value must be assigned.

 

 

 

4.Adaptation of the application configuration

To ensure that this key is only used for WebOffice 10.9 R4 requests, it must be configured in the WebOffice 10.9 R4 application configuration. To do this, open the application configuration in the WebOffice author standalone  and add at the node List of SOI identification keys. At the subnode Request Guard identification key the necessary settings can be defined.

5. Activation of the SOI on a map service

Open ArcGIS Server Manager and navigate to the settings of any map service. The SOI can be activated in the Functions menu for the corresponding map service:
 

 

 

Select the activated SOI in the right field and scroll to the end of the page. Under Properties, define the path to the configuration file that was previously stored in the WebOfficeSystem folder, then save the map service and restart it:
 

 

 

Once the above steps have been completed, the service can only be accessed and queried via the configured key values.
