Set credentials to a service for the current AutoCAD session. It is required to specify a specific service layer in the method, but secured layers added from the same server in the same AutoCAD session will use those credentials, if needed. This only works on token authentication for ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Enterprise, not on other authentication models such as OAuth. User name and password is passed in plain text to the server.
Syntax
(esri_credential_set url username password)
Arguments
- url | string | required | URL path to a valid web feature layer.
- username | string | required | Existing user name with permission to access the layer.
- password | string | required | Password for the specified user name.
Example usage

"https://myserver.domain.com/arcgis/rest/services/mySecuredLayer/FeatureServer/0"
"JoeGISUser2020"
"JoesPassword")
