Missing /ws Endpoint for 10.7 GeoEvent

Question

I have a 10.7 ArcGIS Server GeoEvent setup behind a reverse proxy and a web adaptor for federation/auth reasons. I want to expose the Websocket endpoint to use in a website, but now noticed that the Websocket URL via Web Adaptor and Reverse proxy at example.com/<webadaptor>/ws always gives me a 404 - not from ArcGIS, but from Tomcat where the Web Adaptor is running.

I suspect the Web Adaptor 10.7 might not support the /ws endpoint (/rest and /manager work fine though).

Is this known, do I need additional reverse proxy rules?

Thanks for the answer, I had set all these settings but it didn't fix that.

Maybe there was also a misunderstanding on my part, after looking through the documentation more,  looks like the websocket endpoint has to be exposed directly and cannot be proxied through a webadaptor under a different port and path.

Meanwhile we have upgraded our server setup but I haven't had the time to revisit this issue yet.

Have you configured the web socket URL in the ArcGIS Server Admin properties to expose the endpoint? The web socket endpoint isn't exposed by default.

/admin/system/properties -> update properties

"WebSocketContextURL" : "wss://exposed.server/webdaptor"

(if using http "WebSocketContextURL" : "ws:/ /exposed.server/webdaptor")
