Process for enabling https for BA Server

PrashanthSukumaran

Hi,

I have installed the SSL cert and enabled https only access on the IIS 7.5 server.  My rest services are working fine but then my report service is failing.

In the logs I see that the reportservice url is still pointing to http://localhost/ArcGIS/BAServer/Services/HTMLextReportWebService/Service.asmx.  This is expected to happen as i have not done any changes to BAServer after enabling https.

Even after i changed the report service url to https://localhost/ArcGIS/BAServer/Services/HTMLextReportWebService/Service.asmx manually in BAServerConfig.xml i don't see any changes.

After changing to https and restart the iis server, the logs have the following error

I tried doing a Post Install but then i get a failure message when configuring the url for reporting service.

What steps do i need to perform after the ssl cert is installed on the BA Server 10?  Can someone point me to any documentation?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

SOLVED.

The issue was in the way i had installed the ssl certificate. I worked with the esri support to resolve the issue. 

Since BA Server is an extension of the ArcGIS Server follow these instructions while installing an SSL cert.
