Portal for ArcGIS - Nearmap Integration from ArcGIS Online

If your organization has Portal for ArcGIS, you can add our imagery to Portal for consumption by your Portal users.

NOTE: If you are getting errors or encountering issues with WMS 2.0, upgrading to Portal version 10.6 or higher will resolve the errors and issues.

Before starting, make sure that:

You have an ArcGIS Online organization account that is provisioned with access to our imagery.
For information on how to be provisioned with access to Nearmap's ArcGIS Online offering, click here.
You are Portal user who is able to add items from ArcGIS Online and can share/publish content within Portal to other users.
Portal can access items from ArcGIS online (that is, no firewall restrictions between Portal and ArcGIS Online).

NOTE: If your corporate security policies restrict your Portal from communicating to the internet, you may need set up a collaboration workspace between ArcGIS Online and your ArcGIS Portal. This allows interaction between the two in a secure fashion, and, in turn, to authenticate access to Nearmap Marketplace item.

The Esri article below explains how to do this and we advise that you consult your Esri implementation specialist on the specifics of setting it up.
