Cannot access ArcGIS Manager externally

JayDub

Hi,
I just installed and authorized 10.1. I can access the manager from the machine using localhost:6080/arcgis/manager however I can't access it outside using the IP of the machine. Also, I'm not sure what to enter for the ArcGIS server connection to manage the server remotely, elsewhere on the network using ArcCatalog. The IP of the ArcGIS server box is 10.0.40.115. For the host name I just used that IP, and for the server url I've tried the following and none have worked.

10.0.40.115:6080/arcgis10.0.40.115:6080/arcgis/rest/services10.0.40.115:6080/arcgis/services

Any help? I got the access denied message, either the SOM is not started or the user you're trying to connect with is not a member of the agsadmin or agsuser blah blah.

You should be able to access the server rest endpoint from any other computer that is within the local subnet of the ArcGIS Server box. i.e. if another PC inside the LAN has an IP of 10.0.40.xyz, you can access the ArcGIS rest endpoing using 10.0.40.115:6080/arcgis/rest/services.

Now, outside your network, via the internet, your going to have to fwd port 6080 from your gateway to the ArcGIS Server box. This isn't reccomended though, you should install the 10.1 web adaptor on your web server. The web adaptor is the 'new' reverse proxy, that hides the port the ArcGIS server is operating on (6080), and also optionally disables /manager and /admin access over the internet.
