ArcGIS Pro and Duo Sign-in Bug


Issue
ArcGIS Pro software abruptly shuts down after completing multifactor authentication with Duo.

Solution
This is a known bug with Duo multifactor authentication and ArcGIS software. When you sign into ArcGIS Pro (or other Esri desktop software), you'll need to use the "Sign in using Browser" option instead of trying to sign into the software via the default pop-up window.

This help page from Eastern Washington University that shows where you can access the "Sign in using Browser" link. Once you use the "Sign in using Browser" sign-in method, the software will default to using the browser sign-in option and you shouldn't experience this bug again.

  2. If you can't fix a specific error, check to see if you received any additional error messages. You may need to fix the other errors before you can address the other error in question. 
     
  3. Check GIS user forums, like Esri Community or GIS Stack Exchange to see if other users have experienced the same issue and what steps they took to resolve it.
     
  4. Contact our GIS librarian if you're a Brandeis community member and need help troubleshooting an error message in ArcGIS Pro.

Workarounds for Trackpad Issues


The following keyboard shortcuts might prove helpful if you encounter issues performing tasks with ArcGIS Pro using the trackpads on your computer. Using an external mouse instead of a trackpad can also help with workflows. You can use our library's equipment loan program if you need to check out a mouse, adapters, etc.


AppStream Troubleshooting


Lost Connectivity due to Inactivity

You will lose your connection to Amazon AppStream after a period of inactivity. This can result in data loss for your ArcGIS Pro project if you are not actively saving your work. ArcGIS Pro will create a project backup every 5 minutes (after you've saved your initial project), which is helpful in cases when the software crashes but it's good practice to regularly save your progress.
