Portal installation on Workgroup and Authenticating with AD

Kishore

We have asituation in our new environment:

1. We have ArcGIS Server10.3.1 in a Domain.

2. We are setting up ArcGIS Portal 10.3.1 on a DMZ location. As per security they will not add the portal machine to the domain, so It remains workgroup.

3. Server and Portal can communicate with each other, all ports are opened.I can access ArcGIS server Manager on Portal machine.

My questions:

a) Can we federate Server with Portal?

b) Portal need to be authenticated with Active Directory. Is it doable?

Thanks in advance

Hi Chenna,

Based on the scenario you've described above,

Q1) Can we federate Server with Portal?

A1) Yes, you should be able to federate your Server site with Portal for ArcGIS.

Q2) Portal need to be authenticated with Active Directory. Is it doable?

A2) This depends. You would need to ensure that Portal for ArcGIS can access your Windows AD. You would have to open some ports to the DMZ, which may or may not be acceptable for your security requirements. In my experience, this is probably NOT a good idea as it would likely be a security concern.

Hope this helps,
