Error: Permission Denied

Error Message

When users try to view an HTML Viewer web site, they get this JavaScript error:

Permission Denied

Cause

The domain name specified in the browser does not match the domain name in the following lines in the ArcIMSParam.js file:

var imsURL = 'http://true/servlet/com.esri.esrimap.Esrimap?ServiceName=SanFrancisco';

var imsOVURL = 'http://true/servlet/com.esri.esrimap.Esrimap?ServiceName=SanFrancisco';

For example, if a user accesses the web site using http://204.225.113.3/website/sanFran, they will get a "Permission Denied" error.

There are three possible solutions.

Solution or Workaround

Option 1: The best solution is to use a variable that stores the hostname and uses it in the imsURL and imsOVURL variables. The ArcIMSParam.js file already traps this value; it's stored in a variable called hostName; thus, you can make the following change in the ArcIMSParam.js:
```
var imsURL = 'http://' + hostName + '/servlet/com.esri.esrimap.Esrimap?ServiceName=SanFrancisco';

var imsOVURL =  'http://' + hostName + '/servlet/com.esri.esrimap.Esrimap?ServiceName=SanFrancisco';  
```
This solution will allow the user to access the site using the hostname, domain or the IP without having to specifically hard code the imsURL and imsOVURL variables.

Option 2: Change the lines in the ArcIMSParam.js file to use the IP address. For example:

http://204.225.113.3/website/sanFran

To access the site:

var imsURL = 'http://204.225.113.3/servlet/com.esri.esrimap.Esrimap?ServiceName=SanFrancisco';

var imsOVURL = 'http://204.225.113.3/servlet/com.esri.esrimap.Esrimap?ServiceName=SanFrancisco';
