I am working with Gecortex Essentials 4.4 and HTML5 viewer 2.5. Feature layers are getting loaded to the site from ArcGIS Online account (created for my organization). I have set up geocortex identity server with few users and roles (admin and general) as GE site should work based on user authentication.
But issue is if i log in with GE Identity server credentials, feature layers never load (as arcgis online log-in is never done).
Is there a way to store arcgis online credentials somewhere in config file and call that setting on site startup to load feature layer?
This way i can use both identity server and can also load feature layers from arcgis online account.

An end user can only access secured content from ArcGIS Online if they have signed in to ArcGIS Online. You need to change your security provider from Identity Server to ArcGIS Online, or make the layer public.
There is no way to give Essentials ArcGIS Online credentials and allow it to grant access to secured ArcGIS Online content for non-AGOL users.
