1. Navigate to Site > GeoEvent > Data Stores and click Register ArcGIS Server.

3. Provide a name for the server connection as well as the URL to the site.
4. Place the cursor within the Token parameter, a text box displays containing the steps for obtaining a token.
   
   
5. Open the link and provide credentials for the ArcGIS Server site, as well as the URL that was listed for the HTTP referer parameter. Set the expiration of the token to a reasonable value.
   
   
6. Select Generate Token and copy the generated token. Proceed back to the Data Stores dialog and paste the token within the parameter. Select Register.
7. Confirm that the data store connection is valid.
