ArcGIS Enterprise must be licensed for the ArcGIS IPS extension and users must be assigned appropriate roles and types to connect to the ArcGIS Enterprise portal using ArcGIS IPS Setup.
An ArcGIS Enterprise portal administrator must import the license file for ArcGIS IPS into the portal. You can then set permissions for members of your organization and set certain functionality in ArcGIS Pro. Once you set permission levels for members and enable access to ArcGIS Pro functionality, they can access the indoor positioning tools in ArcGIS Pro after they connect and sign in to the Enterprise portal.
Import the ArcGIS IPS license file
Complete the following steps to import the license file:
- Import the license file through the Enterprise portal.
- Ensure that ArcGIS IPS is listed as an organizational extension.
- Click the Organization tab and click Licenses.
- Click Organization extensions.
- Verify that ArcGIS IPS is listed.
Configure the security certificate
The portal must have a valid Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate from a trusted entity for the IPS Setup to securely connect and download maps. Mobile devices have built-in security features that prevent connections to servers that do not have a valid certificate.
If your organization uses self-signed or Enterprise CA certificates, the same certificate must be installed on every mobile device running the IPS Setup app for the device to establish trust with the server and connect safely.
You can install certificates and view existing certificates that are installed on the mobile device by tapping Settings > General > Profiles.
Note:
If self-signed certificates are not installed on the mobile device, a dialog box repeatedly appears requiring credentials.
Configure the identity store
In ArcGIS Enterprise, you can use enterprise accounts and groups to control access to your ArcGIS organization. Use an organization-specific identity store to set policies for password expiration and complexity; control access using existing Active Directory, LDAP, or SAML groups; or use authentication.
Note:
IPS Setup version 1.4 and later has been updated to support the ArcGIS Maps SDKs and the following Maps SDKs authentication methods:
- iOS—Built-In, IWA, SAML, LDAP, and Portal tier
- Android—Built-In, IWA, SAML, Portal tier, and PKI
The following authentication methods are not supported in IPS Setup version 1.4 and later:
- iOS—JavaPKI (Windows), PKI (Linux), and Kerberos (Windows)
- Android—Kerberos (Windows) and LDAP (Linux)
Set up access to Indoor Positioning tools in ArcGIS Pro
To enable access to Indoor Positioning tools in ArcGIS Pro, complete the following steps:
- License ArcGIS Pro with a Standard or Advanced license using either the Named User, Single User, or Concurrent User license option.
- Open ArcGIS Pro and sign in to an organization licensed with the ArcGIS IPS organization capability.
- Ensure that you sign in as a user who has publishing privileges and that is assigned the ArcGIS IPS user type extension.
Set up access to the ArcGIS IPS Setup app
Users must sign into the ArcGIS organization licensed for the ArcGIS IPS extension and be assigned the appropriate level of permissions before they can use IPS Setup. Members of your organization that perform surveys using the IPS Setup app must be assigned a role with editing capabilities and the ArcGIS IPS user type extension. Members that only test the indoor positioning system with the IPS Setup app must have a role that allows them viewing capabilities and does not require the ArcGIS IPS user type extension.
