Available for an ArcGIS organization licensed with the ArcGIS IPS extension.
An ArcGIS Enterprise portal administrator must import the license for ArcGIS IPS into the portal. The administrator must also configure security and the identity store for accounts to use ArcGIS IPS. Next, organization members’ privileges must be set for those members who need to perform certain activities such as data editing in ArcGIS Pro or onsite activities supported by the ArcGIS IPS Setup app.
Import the ArcGIS IPS license file
To import the ArcGIS IPS license file, complete the following steps:
- Import the license file through the Enterprise portal.
- Ensure that ArcGIS IPS is listed as an organizational extension by doing the following:
- Click the Organization tab and click Licenses.
- Click Organization extensions.
- Verify that ArcGIS IPS is listed.
Configure the security certificate
The Enterprise portal must have a valid Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate from a trusted entity for 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 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
You can use the indoor positioning tools in ArcGIS Pro to prepare data for ArcGIS IPS. To enable access, complete the steps in ArcGIS Pro.
Set up access to tools in the IPS Setup app
Organization members responsible for beacon deployment and signal surveys using the IPS Setup app must be assigned a role with editing capabilities and the ArcGIS IPS user type extension. Members who will only test the indoor positioning system with the IPS Setup app require a role that allows viewing capabilities and do not require the ArcGIS IPS user type extension.
After setting the appropriate permission levels and once connected to and signed into the ArcGIS organization, members can access the Indoor Positioning toolbox in ArcGIS Pro, as well as visualize their indoor maps and complete the indoor positioning enablement workflows with the IPS Setup app. Before completing the enablement workflows, refer to the Bluetooth-based requirements or Wi-Fi-based requirements. For the enablement workflows, refer to Bluetooth-based indoor positioning or Wi-Fi-based indoor positioning.
