With a cloud based SaaS such as ArcGIS Online, using HTTPS for\u00a0communication over the internet is one of the most important steps you can do to secure sensitive information.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>This post\u00a0provides\u00a0basic information on updating your web map layers to use HTTPS so that all data is securely transferred over the internet.\u00a0 Watch for a subsequent blog post that takes a closer look at HTTPS.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Why HTTPS?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>HTTPS, short for Hypertext Transfer Protocol for secure communication (and commonly referred to as SSL or TLS), allows for the secure transmission of data, both incoming and outgoing, between a client\u2014such as a web browser\u2014and the server. All data is encrypted, so anyone monitoring\u00a0the traffic won\u2019t be able to capture any sensitive information.<\/p>\n<p>Updating your web map layers to use HTTPS is a simple way to help secure your intellectual property and prevent anyone other than the people you intend from seeing sensitive information. If your organization is already\u00a0configured with <a href=\"https:\/\/doc.arcgis.com\/en\/arcgis-online\/administer\/configure-security.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_323F5BC306A542258085A4910D261463\">HTTPS only<\/a>, your maps likely reference layers using HTTPS or would you would be seeing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doc.arcgis.com\/en\/arcgis-online\/reference\/troubleshoot.htm#anchor30\">mixed content issues<\/a>. If your organization isn&#8217;t configured with HTTPS, it&#8217;s a good idea to begin updating your maps to use HTTPS. The popular browsers, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge \/ Internet Explorer 11, and Apple Safari, are becoming increasingly stringent with HTTP traffic. Browser updates frequently introduce tighter controls that either alert you to security issues with\u00a0websites or block insecure content completely.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Updating web maps to HTTPS<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To update layers in a map to use HTTPS, go to the\u00a0<strong>Settings<\/strong>\u00a0tab in the map&#8217;s item page. In the\u00a0<strong>Layer Settings<\/strong>\u00a0section,\u00a0click <strong>Update Layers to HTTPS.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/01\/HTTPSupgrade11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-98826 noIMGBackground\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/01\/HTTPSupgrade11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"669\" height=\"306\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After clicking\u00a0<strong>Update Layers to HTTPS<\/strong>, a prompt displays to inform you that the layers in the web map will be updated to use HTTPS rather than HTTP, and that any layers in the map that reference layer items you own will also be updated to HTTPS. Note, if you do not own the referenced layer item but do have privileges to update it, the layer item will be updated. For instance, if you are an administrator in your ArcGIS Online organization, you can update both a map that you don&#8217;t own and the layer items referenced by the web map.<\/p>\n<p>To proceed with the update, click\u00a0<strong>Update Layers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/01\/HTTPSupgrade2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-98827 noIMGBackground\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/01\/HTTPSupgrade2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"264\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When updating layers to use HTTPS, ArcGIS Online will check each HTTP layer to make sure it supports HTTPS. Once all HTTP layers are checked, the web map will be updated to use HTTPS for all layers that support it. Once complete, you will see a report indicating which layers were successfully updated to HTTPS. Layers that were already HTTPS are reported as well. The report will also indicate if any associated layer items\u00a0were updated to HTTPS.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/01\/HTTPSUpgrade_success2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-98832 noIMGBackground\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/01\/HTTPSUpgrade_success2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"658\" height=\"453\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it! The layers in the web map should now use HTTPS when you view the map. Check the map by opening it in an HTTPS browser session (simply change the url from HTTP to HTTPS if your web map is not loaded as HTTPS already)\u00a0and verify the layers draw as expected.<\/p>\n<p>If a layer does not support HTTPS, you are notified that the layer could not be updated. To update the layer, the server providing the layer will need to be updated to support HTTPS. Once updated, the layer in the web map can then be updated to use HTTPS.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Considerations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&#8211; When a layer is updated to HTTPS, any custom symbols referenced by the layer\u00a0are automatically updated to use HTTPS if the symbol source supports it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Layer configurations such as media embedded in pop-ups are not automatically updated to use HTTPS. To update these references, open the map in Map Viewer and update the references there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; If an updated\u00a0layer\u00a0has an associated layer item,\u00a0the\u00a0referenced layer item is also updated to use HTTPS.<\/p>\n"}],"authors":[{"ID":5721,"user_firstname":"Chris","user_lastname":"Whitmore","nickname":"Chris Whitmore","user_nicename":"cwhitmore","display_name":"Chris Whitmore","user_email":"cwhitmore@esri.com","user_url":"","user_registered":"2018-03-02 00:17:33","user_description":"Chris is a product engineer for ArcGIS Online.","user_avatar":"<img data-del=\"avatar\" src='https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Profilepic1-2-213x200.jpg' class='avatar pp-user-avatar avatar-96 photo ' height='96' width='96'\/>"}],"related_articles":"","card_image":false,"wide_image":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Updating web map layers to use HTTPS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/administration\/administration\/updating-web-map-layers-to-use-https\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Updating web map layers to use HTTPS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"One of the features introduced with last December&#8217;s update to ArcGIS Online is the ability to update the layers in your web map to use HTTPS.
