Adding KML as operationallayers on local server

Question

I want to add a KML file, hosted internally on a server, as operationallayers. It doesn't seem to be working.

If I put the KML file in Google Drive or Github and then call it like :

{  
            type: 'kml',
            url: 'http://googlemaps.github.io/js-v2-samples/ggeoxml/cta.kml',
            title: 'Quakes2',
            options: {
                id: 'quake_kml',
                opacity: 1.0,
                visible: true,
                //imageParameters: imageParameters
                mode: 0
            },
            identifyLayerInfos: {
                //layerIds: [0]
            },
            legendLayerInfos: {
                layerInfo: {
                }
            },
            layerControlLayerInfos: {
                swipe: true,
                metadataUrl: true,
                expanded: true
            }
  } 

. It works. If i change to "url: 'http://localhost/mykml/cta.kml'", it doesn't work. But I don't want to put my resource on outside premises.

How can I put this KML file on my internal network so that I can call it in my app?

I have read about KML parser called geoxml3, but I don't know how to convert the result of geoxml3 so that it can be passed to my CMV app. Any ideas?

As mentioned in the Esri API documentation for the KMLLayer, you will have to create your own utility service using Portal:

Note: The KMLLayer uses a utility service from ArcGIS.com, therefore your kml/kmz must be publicly accessible on the internet. If your kml/kmz files are behind the firewall you will need to set the esriConfig.defaults.kmlService to your own utility service. (Requires Portal for ArcGIS).
