Geolocation blocked by Netskope. Not loading map. URLs or IP's needed for SSL decryption exclusion.

[DarcySaunders72]

Hi,

I'm struggling to get the URL's or IP's used by the Geolocation feature in AutoCAD and Civil3D.

I know its bing maps.

I have whitelisted https://www.bing.com/maps and can access via web browser no problem.

If I disable Netskope client the map loads without issue.

I have tried to determine the failed IP connections via process explorer and process monitor on the PID without any luck.

Does anyone know the URL's/IP's/Server names that Civil3D/Bing needs excluding from SSL decryption?

Thank you in advance.

The geolocation feature is activated by your assigned coordinate system. And not just any ol' Coordinate System but a PROJECTED coordinate system, not a GEOGRAPHIC coordinate system.

<<A projected CS typically uses meters or feet in the units whereas a geographic CS uses units of degrees, e.g. Lat/Long>>

<<All State Planes are projected. All UTM zones are projected. WGS84 EPSG 4326, which is used by Google Earth Pro, Google Maps & Bing maps, to name a few, is a geographic coordsys because it uses Lat/Long w/degree units>>

If you don't assign a projected coordinate system to your drawing then you won't be able to access Bing Maps.

Do this.

1. Open a clean brand new imperial (or metric) template.
2. Assign a coordinate system (MAPCSASSIGN) to modelspace making sure it 'covers' yours site.
3. Turn on Bing Hybrid. Go to Geolocation tab=>Online Map panel=>change Map off to Bing Hybrid (The Bing logo will appear in lower right corner of modelspace, if not you have a 'Bing Map' connection problem.)
4. Zoom out using mouse wheel until you see the red geomarker symbol in modelspace (it looks like a red bicycle wheel with red spokes). Bing map is roughly centered on the geomarker. Zoom in and navigate to your site using Bing Hybrid as a guide.

I ended up disabling Netskope (firewall/proxy/web filter) client and running the geolocation map function again with Teletrik Fiddler running.
This showed about 25 lines from the applications PID to dev.virtualearth.net & *.tiles.virtualearth.net.
Once these were whitelisted all worked fine.
