Federate ArcGIS server with ArcGIS portal

Question

I have ArcGIS server and ArcGIS portal with 2 web adapter for each of them, before i added ArcGIS server  to ArcGIS portal i was able to access ArcGIS portal from public address ,when I added ArcGIS server to act as hosted server to ArcGIS portal, i tried to login to ArcGIS portal and the login page was pointed to local server address, before it was pointing to the public address, the question is how to make ArcGIS portal authentication service pointing to the public address ?

this behavior happening only when ArcGIS portal communicate with ArcGIS server to get any resources, otherwise i can access login to ArcGIS server without any issues

Hi ahmad hasan‌,

Thanks for the screenshots . Yeah i'd say this may be causing some issues. When your configuring the web adaptor to both Portal and Server did you adjust the web adaptor URL to utilise the FQDN or machine name?  Once installation of the Webadaptor has successfully been completed a web browser will automatically open pointed to: https://localhost/portal/webadaptor/. Did you adjust this URL prior to configuration?

I would also ensure that the certificate has been ingested into ArcGIS Sever as this may be required for some hosting functionality and bound to https on port 443 in IIS.

Hi Matthew Brown,

I did this , i used that link before and it didn't solve the issue, i can see in the ArcGIS portal in the servers setting it is pointing to the public address but when i go ArcGIS Server admin in the /arcgis/admin/security/config i can see the following parameters in the portal properties :

* portalUrl : pointing to local server
* PrivatePortalUrl: "https://localaddress:7443/arcgis "
* "portalMode": "ARCGIS_PORTAL_FEDERATION",
 "serverId": "",
 "serverUrl": Pointing to Public Address
 "privateHostingServerUrl": "https://Localaddress:6443/arcgis"

Hi Shane Miles,

did you ensure you were using the "public" web adaptor address of portal or portaladmin? Yes I did , but i don't know why in the web adaptor configuration page its showing the local address, please see following picture. I think the issue is here.

And the same thing for Portal web adaptor

In additon to this did you ensure you you used the ArcGIS server web adaptor for both Services and Administration URLs? Yes

I would also check the certificates loaded into ArcGIS Portal, ArcGIS Server and IIS manager,  ensuring root, intermediate and web hosting certificates are allowing trusted communication? I think everything is fine here i have public certificate and its bind to IIS , and Arc GIS Portal
