Access constraints

Text describing the restrictions and legal prerequisites for accessing and using the WMS service.

For internal use only. Do not distribute.

SLD Path or URL

SLDs allow you to publish multiple styles for each WMS layer. If you are binding an SLD file to the current WMS service, you need to enter the SLD path or URL property, network share, or physical location of an SLD XML file. The ArcGIS Server account must have access to the location for ArcGIS Server to properly read the SLD XML file.

To learn more about SLDs, see Using Styled Layer Descriptors with WMS services.

Additional spatial reference systems

This property can be used to add spatial reference systems to WMS services. By default, WMS services only list two spatial reference systems: EPSG:4326 (or CSR:84 for WMS 1.3.0) and the spatial reference of the map service on which the WMS is enabled.

To list additional spatial reference systems, separate the spatial reference systems with a comma (,). For example, EPSG:4267,EPSG:4269,EPSG:102113. The EPSG namespace (for example, EPSG) and the EPSG ID (for example, 4267) must be separated by a colon (:), or the spatial reference will be ignored by the server.

Custom spatial reference systems

The listCustomCRS property allows you to define a custom projection or well-known text (WKT) representation of a projection in a WMS service. This means publishers and consumers of the WMS can do the following:

• Assign IDs to custom projections and advertise them through the WMS capabilities file.
• Overwrite an existing projection with a WKT string.
• Request a map in a particular projection by directly specifying the well-known text.

Identify tolerance (pixels)

This property allows you to define a tolerance (in pixels) in which the GetFeatureInfo operation will return feature information to the client when they click the screen. For example, if you define a pixel tolerance of 10 for your WMS, the information will be returned to the client as long as they click within 10 pixels of the feature on the screen.

Use layer names from the map document

By default, this option is unchecked, meaning that layers in the WMS service will be represented with zero-based integers, indicating their position in the table of contents from the top down.

Starting at version 10.8, there are no restrictions to the characters that can be used in a layer name, and WMS server will generate a unique identifier for the name when necessary.

WMS server will assign a unique name by character substitution (replacing characters with an underscore) and by adding a numeric suffix. This will occur in the following instances:

• A map contains two or more layers with the same name.
• A layer name begins with a number.
• A layer name contains spaces or special characters, including ?,&,=,+,`,#,%,^,{},[],<>,,,|,"

Force map re-aspect based on width and height

This property determines whether the map is re-aspected. By default, this option is deselected, which means that the pixels representing the map area are stretched to fit into the height and width requested by WMS clients.

If this option is selected, the pixel height and width ratio will stay the same. When a map is requested at full extent, it may not fill the entire viewing area.

Assign a name identifier to a layer

By default, WMS services do not assign a <Name> to group layers. The namedLayersMode property allows you to control how layers in a WMS service are assigned a Name identifier. If the property is set to allLayers, a Name identifier is assigned both to group layers and to their sublayers. If it is set to subLayers or left unspecified, a Name identifier is only assigned to the sublayers of a group layer. This means clients cannot include a group layer in a GetMap request, but have to specify each individual sublayer inside the group layer.
