I have not tried to even install Portal yet, but I have an idea.

In your picture, you have ArcGIS Online selected. If you haven't tried this already, you could try changing that setting to ArcGIS Server.

Let us know if that works.

Chunjie,

Based on the error message "javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated," it appears that the server you are trying to connect to is somehow causing a redirect to a page that uses https.

Is that the case? Otherwise, there should not be any error message referencing SSLPeerUnverifiedException.

Hi, Javier:

    Thanks for your help, again.

     Yes, the Portal for ArcGIS needs a https connection, and a certificate to connect. Currently I connect the Portal from IE and firefox, with the certificate imported.

Chunjie,

Using Firefox, export the certificate to a file. Then use Java's keytool to import the certificate into the cacerts file used by GeoEvent Processor's JRE.

On the machine where you're running GeoEvent Processor, do the following:
NOTE: GEP_INSTALL_DIR defaults to C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Server\GeoEventProcessor unless you changed the install location for Server.

cd <GEP_INSTALL_DIR>\jre\lib\security

<GEP_INSTALL_DIR>\jre\bin\keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias <ALIAS FOR YOUR CERT> -file <PATH TO FILE EXPORTED FROM FIREFOX> -keystore cacerts

When prompted for a password enter "changeit"

After restarting GeoEvent Processor, you should be able to connect to the site.

But I must warn you that Portal connections are not supported at 10.2.0. So even if you can successfully create an https connection, you might not be able to register the connection to your portal.

Portal integration will be available in the next release of GeoEvent Processor.
