CreateAsync(Uri, Boolean)

Creates asynchronously a new instance of the ArcGISPortal class. If the URI is null, ArcGIS Online is used by default (https://www.arcgis.com).

Declaration

public static Task<ArcGISPortal> CreateAsync(Uri portalUri, bool loginRequired)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Uri	portalUri	The portal URI.
System.Boolean	loginRequired	Login required flag. Use true to require the user to log in to the portal, false allows anonymous access.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Threading.Tasks.Task<ArcGISPortal>	The task object representing the asynchronous create operation. The value of the task result is a ArcGISPortal object.

Remarks

If user credentials are added to AuthenticationManager ahead of time, the portal is created for that user. Otherwise, authentication behavior depends on the loginRequired flag:

• If loginRequired is true, the method first tries any existing credentials, then challenges for new ones (and fails if the challenge handler throws or returns null), guaranteeing a non‐anonymous portal.
• If loginRequired is false, the method attempts an anonymous connection first (if the server allows it) and only prompts for login if anonymous access is not permitted. Stated another way, if false the user must log in only if the portal does not support anonymous access.

The supported URL formats are:

• The URL of the portal (Example: http://www.arcgis.com).
• The URL of the portal rest end point (Example: http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest).
• The URL of the deprecated portal rest end point (Example: http://www.arcgis.com/sharing).
