Authorizing a deployed ArcGIS Spatial Data Server for Java

After you deploy the web application server, authorize the ArcGIS Spatial Data Server for Java using the keycodes file generated when you authorized the ArcGIS Spatial Data Server software.

This second authorization process places an authorization entry in the ArcGIS Spatial Data Server for Java service repository.

Steps:

1. Open a web browser on the server where ArcGIS Spatial Data Server is deployed.
2. Type the following URL, substituting your web application server port for <web app port>: http://localhost:<web app port>/arcgis/admin/authorizeSDS.

   You may have used a different port, but the default ports for the supported web application servers are as follows:

   • Tomcat = 8080
   • WebSphere = 9080
   • WebLogic = 7001

   The Authorize SDS site opens.

3. Browse to the keycodes file that was created when you authorized ArcGIS Spatial Data Server using the Software Authorization Wizard.

   The keycodes file is created in \\Program Files\ESRI\License<release#>\sysgen on Windows servers and /arcgis/SDS<release#>/java/sysgen in the user's home directory on Linux servers.

4. Choose either HTML (the default) or JSON for the format in which you want to see the messages returned when you authorize.
5. Click Authorize SDS.

The returned message indicates whether authorization is successful and what license level you used.
